Interaction is the capacity for transformation. The human of the future is not only able to understand his integration into the cosmos but is also able to interact and transform it.

At JAX Festival, viewers were able to interact through Kinect motion sensors with a fractal mirror that reflected their actions in real-time, transforming generative visuals to the speed of their thoughts.

The geometric-volumetric representation of the human as an expression of its integration into the cosmos.

Geometry is and has been a fundamental part of the artistic expression of the Middle East. Its legacy to humanity is permanent and undeniable. Nowadays, using the most modern techniques of digital visual design, it is possible to represent these geometric shapes in a real 3D volumetric space.

Creating large-scale humanoid figures based on geometric polygonal constructions the Dragon can generate transformative interventions for both abstract and humanoid expressions.

Each geometric figure contains the previous one. Starting with a tetrahedron, the simplest possible three-dimensional figure, until reaching a human conformation.
