Commissioned by iii and created by Kexin Hao, 'Future Dance of Nostalgia' explores ancient human activities of production in the form of an interactive dance game and as an investigation into the human body as an archive.

Kexin showed this work at Proximity Music: Sensing After Thought, a collaboration between iii and Rewire during Rewire Festival 2022, and has recently also shared it at TEC ART Rotterdam. This work was also chosen by Gonzo Circus as one of their Top 10 highlights of Rewire Festival.

OTHERWORLDS is a multidimensional participatory performance within virtual and physical realities. Starting with Ukrainian traditions, Sophia Bulgakova is exploring and combining paganism from different cultures and other surrounding magical practices with contemporary discourse and technology. She is searching for common grounds to revive and reimagine relating and connecting to nature, technology, and each other by simultaneously creating a new communal and personal ritual. The performative ritual consists of verbal narrations, soundscapes, abstract colour, virtual environments and choreographic compositions through which participants can submerge themselves into otherworldly experiences.

The uncertainty around the promise of physical contact, boosted by the rise of human-spread epidemics, often limits us to digital communication means. The most intimate bodily senses are stuck in the gap between two worlds: one of sensorial reality and 1.5-meter distances, one of data streaming and rapid interconnection.

Fragments restores attention to the senses by converting body-tracking data from a human interaction into soundwaves, physical vibrations and immersive visual effects. Bodies and touch become alternative instruments of conversation in the digital realm.

RGBdog Presents: Volumetric Interviews introduces creatives based in The Netherlands working at the intersection of music, visual arts and technology, who are focused on developing supportive communities all over the world. The series aims to raise awareness of the creative possibilities of technology and to invite audiences in joining the ongoing broader debate about its benefits and pitfalls.

Seeking to push the boundaries of the disciplines of photography, design, and autonomous arts, Volumetric Interviews resorts to a combination of traditional filmmaking and volumetric image capturing techniques! With this experimentation, the series invites the audience to the virtual world where the story takes place.

The advancement of digital technologies paved the way for new hyper-real experiences, allowing us to augment, or else escape our reality. However, in the design of our interaction with new technologies, we seem to be missing our own perception of tangibility.

Variations on a remote room is a series of digitized living spaces belonging to remote friends and loved ones who could not meet physically for a year. The work is composed by a number of photogrammetries made in remote collaboration and⁠ placed into a Virtual Reality environment where they can re-inhabit, intimately, their domestic spaces.⁠

Along the mining region of the Ruhr in Germany, Camila Chebez encounters Avalonia: an abandoned sandstone quarry that has turned into a popular climbing crag. Sharing its name with a micro-drifting continent from the Palaeozoic era, this site beckons for a closer look at its porous textures, which archive a deep history of impacting surfaces:

Building upon the haptic qualities of the embodied practice of rock climbing, this work is an invitation to (re)explore an Earth too often figured as mute and inert, a wasteland in waiting. By playing with surfaces as a point of contact and projections as a collective memory, "Avalonia Topographies of Impact" puzzles together a narrative where ruins can become playgrounds for more-than-human encounters.

Natural and technological worlds have been existing together for centuries. Only recently, however, we read an imbalance of powers between the two, leading to social crises and environmental catastrophes. Analysing and simulating natural, as well as mechanical, patterns in the French village of Le Broc, La Symphonie de l'Environnement speculates on the relationship between technology and nature of the future.

Premiered at the Théâtre de Verdure de Le Broc, La Symphonie de l'Environnement is a collaborative effort between the local villagers together with producers Andrew Bullen, Janine Huizenga, composer Romina Romay, harpist Helvia Briggen, and visual artist Leo Scarin.

A multidisciplinary experience that combines dining rituals and virtual reality. Initiated by Leo Scarin, Sophia Bulgakova, Lucas Dewulf (XRT) & Cemre Deniz Kara, the project explores the sensorial correlations that originate in the combination of participatory, immersive media and food design, as well as the experiential implications of social gatherings in virtual and physical realities.

Hybridity, the mix of online and offline interactions in work, art and life, has become a real buzzword due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last few years, artists and cultural institutions have been forced to move into the virtual world. But while festivals, art spaces and events explore these "new" ways of presenting online, digital artists have been experimenting with mixing the physical and the digital for many years.
