The Invisible Human— Abdomen visualizes a process of mutation over time. The final object is the result of highly complex processes transforming the photographic data of a human body into a skeletal.With 3D printing, parts of the body are restored, but it is only through the second process of crystallisation that the Gestalt is, in a sense, reborn. And thanks to this skillful move, the work can be placed within the context of Vanitas, as the crystalisation gives form(however abstract) to the human body contradicting their usual effect on the body where their formation results in death.

Déjà vu is a kinetic artwork. Two panels form a diptych. The motif, a 3D scanned and recomposed landscape is printed on lenticular lenses. The lenses allow the refraction of light and change the content of the landscape according to the viewing angle. Within these refractive repetitions, we are left searching with distorted orientation finding new territories in the pixelated wilderness. The two panels are mounted on a motorized swivel mechanic. Déjà vu – a new digital Nature, articulates hybrid view on nature. Déjà vu is direct and dense,without vistas – unapologetic, non-hierarchical, and not subservient.

Together, they create a new digital nature, a place that articulates the layers of procedural images of nature embedded in the flatness of a new landscape that is multi-dimensional through a constant shift in perception. Within these refractive repetitions, we are left searching with distorted orientation finding new territories in the pixelated wilderness.
