Recharge XL is an art installation where 40 people can charge their phones, but only when the person closes their eyes.

The installation is now exhibited at Wintercircus Ghent!

Charge yourself phone while recharging yourself. 🔋

I've added new "Jaywalking Frames" after they completely sold out! Each frame captures people caught jaywalking via open surveillance cameras worldwide. The price you pay matches the actual fine in that country.

I operate two 'Surveillance Speaker' systems across two exhibitions. Both systems capture images that are transmitted to my local server for analysis. All images are deleted once this process is complete.

Project from exact 10 years ago. I called it "anti-social business cards". It was my business card with only my "Yo" account on. "Yo" was an app where you can only say Yo to each other :)

Back from Qatar, where I showcased my installation "Surveillance Speaker" at The Media Majlis gallery. This was an awesome experience! I hope to be back soon.
