Glad to have been part of ‘Time Travellers’, a public intervention set within the streets of Maastricht, Netherlands, where our 12-channel moving image piece was projected into two window facing Rechtstraat. The project transformed building façades into portals for fragmented, non-linear experiences of time—featuring works by Ori Gersht, Kim Boske, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Carla Gannis, Laurent Fiévet, Gordon Cheung, Addie Wagenknecht & Pablo Garcia, Erzsébet Baerveldt, Jacco Olivier and yours truly. Massive thanks go to Bart van der Boom, director of @viewmaster_projects — a nomadic platform for video art and new media based in Maastricht—for curating this and previous editions of this great initiative.

Marble, polyamide, machine learning algorithms, custom software, original dataset, multichannel video installation.
A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.

An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.
