The Biomodd installation for the Saint John’s Hospital was created with more than 150 participants from Bruges and the SEADS network, in close collaboration with Musea Brugge. It was built out of construction materials that were recycled from the numerous art exhibitions in the city from the past 20 years. In this way, the installation bridges the rich historical past of Bruges with artistic visions about the future of our world. A new multiplayer computer game was also created for this iteration of Biomodd. During the installation's standby mode, LED grow lights illimunate the internal ecosystem. Once visitors interact with the multiplayer game, the grow lights switch off and interactive lighting turns on. This lighting is connected to the game and reflects the activities of the players, while also impacting the plants. Sensors pick up signals from the plants and these data are then fed back into the game - like in an endless feedback loop. The same data generate a dynamic digital soundscape. In addition to the diverse plant species, bacteria and microalgae are also featured in the installation. Biomodd is a community art project that creates new relationships between nature and technology across different cultures around the world. In Biomodd, nature and technology are fused into hybrid interactive art installations. The core idea is the co-creation of experimental systems in which recycled computers and living ecosystems coexist and mutually reinforce one another. The recycled computers are connected into a network that runs a custom computer game. In this game, visitors, plants and other organisms interact in endlessly varying ways. Biomodd is an ongoing series of temporary experiments. It is always being developed on site with local communities, and aims to ignite critical conversations about our ideas on ecology, progress and our technological future.

The project Movement, Digital Intelligence and Interactive Audience (MODINA) aims to expand the creative possibilities for contemporary dance performances, and augment the experience for the audience, using digital technology – with an emphasis on exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and audience interaction, on-site and online. This aim has two interconnected approaches, targeting dance artists, media artists (creative technologists) and audiences.

Applied research into graphical representation of the body in Virtual Reality. The author uses his previous knowledge and experience in dance & technology at Motion Bank (Project originally founded by choreographer William Forsythe) to create and document a simple visual representation of the body in VR that allows the user to move its body in new ways. VR is deployed to create an experience where introspection can be achieved and open possibilities for somatic and movement practices to become transhuman experiences.
