There ∃xists
THERE ∃XISTS is a visual poem embodying the resilience of all there exists after being bend and shaped for many years to our will. Existence is more than stillness, THERE ∃XIST contains all, insists that everything be, and is humanity in transformation, moving with(in) the turbulence and symmetry of the world. THERE ∃XISTS is a graceful, deep, curtseying exploration of overlapping movements, rhythms and synergy on how to ethically form humanity reposeful in relationship to all there exists.

Project / Forward: 2047
Project / Forward: 2047 was a three-day global projection art festival featured in Kenya, Nepal, Colombia, Indonesia, Peru, and Jordan, and supported by sites in Hong Kong, Austria, Italy, USA, Spain, and Australia. Over 45 artworks from across the world were beamed into unexpected spaces in places that are usually not the focus for new media art. This spotlight on walls but also on invisible sections of under-resourced communities was intended as a provocation for hope, color, light and to seed new ideas on how our world would look if we had the chance and power to plan it. The contributing artists were responsible for creating the blueprint for 2047. From their lock-down lounge rooms across the globe, they imagined how to build a better world; sketching what values people will have, how will they spend their time, what the cultural and geographic landscape look like, exploring a new environment, and what we really want for the future?
