High-tech art (with a sense of humor)

A typewriter that emails, and a camera making you invisible, redefine ordinary objects into whimsical interactive installations.

By blending technology with art, installations like 'The Pygmies' and 'The Uncle Phone' spark playful, participatory experiences.

Exploring invisibility and intimacy, artworks challenge perceptions, encouraging viewers to engage deeply with their surroundings.
