01Interactive Installation / Kinetic Sculpture / Computer Vision / Sound2025

OKO

A rotating robotic eye with computer vision that watches gallery visitors and projects its own distorted perception in real time. Four behavioral modes: observe, name, remember, reveal. Generative four-channel sound composition linked to the object's current behavior.

The Guest
& The Host

A hexapod robot that absorbs ambient sound and resynthesizes it into a primitive communication language. The Czech word "host" means both host and guest, framing the machine as a foreign visitor entering human space. Developed during residency at V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media, Rotterdam.

Can a machine develop something like a perspective? And if it does, what changes for us standing in the same room?

Exhibizz

Large-scale multimedia installation for SORRYWECAN. Visitors become co-authors: the system analyzes behavior via 16 IP cameras and sensors, generating real-time visuals on an X-shaped LED wall spanning four 23-metre wings. Nine independent 4K outputs, responsive lighting, music, and sound design.

04Generative Visual / Animation / Event / 360-degree LED2025

Summit

Generative visuals for the 200th anniversary gala of Slovenská sporiteľňa. 160-metre 360-degree LED wall at Incheba Bratislava. Three-part audiovisual program with live orchestra, choir, choreography, and Reinhold Messner as special guest.

System: The Ascent
of a New Kind

An ecosystem of autonomous robots that develop survival strategies through evolutionary processes and real-time sensor feedback. Behavior is emergent, not scripted. They seek energy, avoid obstacles, iterate across generations.

We are standing on the threshold of a world that no longer belongs exclusively to us. I want to make that threshold visible.

06Interactive Installation / Light / Sound / Electronics2023
Receptor interactive light and sound installation

Receptor

A neural network of optical fibers and photosensors exploring the incompleteness of perception. The system collects data from its surroundings and returns it distorted, filtered through an artificial nervous system with limited bandwidth. Multi-channel sound and light respond to touch, movement, and proximity.

If you're eager enough to confront the invisible, I will provide the eyes to see it.

I build machines that perceive. Not cameras that record or sensors that measure, but systems with their own way of seeing, hearing, being present in a space.

I call them electronic organisms. My work sits between art and engineering, driven by one question: what happens when a machine develops its own way of seeing, and we find ourselves in the same room? I work with interactive installations, kinetic sculpture, computer vision, and robotics. The process matters as much as the result.
