The World Beyond The Seen
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to step into a virtual simulation? Well, students and collaborators at the Digital Storytelling Lab invited participants to enter a world of glitches, doppelgängers, and shifting realities.

A Theater of Internet Argument: Calin Segal’s WHISPERS
In a time when online arguments often feel more like combat than conversation, and truth seems secondary to virality, WHISPERS invites us to look deeper into what’s really happening beneath the surface. Created by Paris-based computational artist Calin Segal, this AI-driven installation stages emotionally charged, ideologically loaded debates between digital actors.
New Media Installation: TECHNE at BAM
On Friday, I was invited to experience one of the four digital installations curated by Onassis ONX for TECHNE at BAM, called The Golden Key, which immerses visitors in a mythical, AI-generated world that’s as thought-provoking as it is engaging. A winner of the Jury Award in the 2024 SXSW XR Experience competition, The Golden Key is a standout example of how AI can be harnessed to explore narrative, mythology, and human connection.
