Intertwined Skins: Glitched Sublime
Mixed-media interactive installation (sculpture, projection, sound), 2025
Intertwined Skins: Glitched Sublime is a mixed-media interactive installation that brings together sculpture, projection, sound, and moving image. The work expands an earlier digital project into a multi-sensory environment, reflecting on the fragile connections between human bodies, natural surfaces, and technological systems.
The installation features hand-crafted silicone fabric, chosen for its skin-like tactility and organic appearance. Onto this sculptural surface, projected visuals merge layers of tree bark, human skin, and digital distortion. Through subtle gestures, viewers activate shifts in the imagery, creating a sense of connection without physical touch.
Accompanied by deep ambient sound derived from forest biorhythms, the work invites viewers into an evolving hybrid environment where touch becomes virtual and presence becomes shared. Intertwined Skins: Glitched Sublime explores the boundaries between living and artificial systems, asking how organic and digital rhythms might coexist.

Process:
I created a custom silicone fabric by layering textile material with liquid silicone, forming a flexible, skin-like surface. This process allowed me to experiment with texture and transparency, giving the projection surface a tactile, organic quality.

Creating a silicon fabric for mixed-media interactive installation
I also experiment with PlantWave sensors, capturing the biorhythm
of trees and plants and translating their signals into sound forms.
My approach is practice-based and process-led, combining field research and digital experimentation. Fieldwork plays an essential role, especially in creating the photo archive that informs much of my visual and material research.
I work across interactive video, projection, photography, and sound.
Using TouchDesigner, I create real-time visual environments that respond to human gesture and motion.
