The weight of achievement

Meritocracy reflects on the role of qualifications and achievement in contemporary life. Certificates become a visual material through which the work asks how educational systems and social expectations influence our sense of personal value.

A collective encounter

Audience position is tracked with LiDAR and connected to real-time visuals in TouchDesigner. AI-generated imagery and particle-based scenes turn the projection into a space that changes with its participants.
