This audiovisual installation combines stereoscopic 3D projection and multi-channel sound to showcase two projects that explore spatiality as an analytic and affective storytelling vehicle: one departing from data-driven analysis and the other through an evocative speculative narrative.

 
The first project "Rhapsodic Statistics" stages archived and real-time financial transaction data—sourced primarily from cryptocurrency exchanges—as an immersive audiovisual experience. By translating multiple datasets into a dynamic XR scenography, this installation invites participants to experience the narrative flow transitioning from an analytic overview and comparison to an affective endo-perspective where data becomes viscerally embodied. Thematically, the artwork critically reflects on the gambling factor in global economic processes and the trends of ‘gamification’ in trading experiences for the masses.

 
The second project, based on the multi-channel soundpiece "Latent Dictatorship Spirals", with additional 3D visuals, transports viewers into a fictional narrative, tracing the life-cycle of a virus-like AI entity as it takes root in a virtual habitat. This speculative journey oscillates between chaos and purpose, mirroring an evolutionary arc—from primal disorder to the seductive, rigid rule-sets of an artificial existence, and finally to self-imposed destruction. Enhanced by generative sound layers featuring AI-created chords, voices and sonic trajectories of sampled screeches from military attack drones in Ukraine war videos, the installation tries to weave a tapestry of euphoria, awe, delusion, and trepidation. While immersed  in the entity’s haunting transformations, spectators can speculatively associate it with the cyclic or spiralling societal developments and technological transitions of the last 100 years.
