Immersive Installations — Making a Room Legible to Itself

Software and physical art I design and program for annual gatherings. Each turns a group's interests, relationships, and signals into something the room can see itself in — the same instinct as the rest of my work, in a different medium. Guests anonymized throughout.

Interest network visualization — **Interest network.** Guests as nodes, shared affinities as edges, scored by a live similarity engine.

Demographic clustering visualization — **Demographic clustering.** 6,253 connections grouped by education and industry in real time.

Living Village social simulation — **The Living Village.** A generative social simulation of the room and its interactions.

The Tale of Kansityra physical installation — **The Tale of Kansityra.** A physical narrative world guests explore together (faces not shown).
