ODRAZ is an experimental immersive audiovisual show exploring reflection — both physical and symbolic. It traces how inner states and outer realities mirror one another, especially in times of war and uncertainty. Moving through themes of nature, city, and chaos, ODRAZ uses layered visuals and sound to capture the shifting relationship between perception and environment. Created in response to global unrest, the work becomes a fragmented mirror of the present — revealing the fragile interplay between external chaos and internal experience.

The interactive installation DAS DING (“The Thing”) places an old, forgotten intelligent CRT television at the center of attention.
Brought back into the spotlight, the TV is given its own language, voice, and identity to be discovered. DAS DING evokes feelings of nostalgia, connection, or even manipulation; both for the player and the TV itself.
Through an interactive narrative, using dialogue boxes and movie sequences, the television speaks directly to the player. Its ultimate goal is simple and poignant: Das Ding wants to be watched.

How much coincidence, freedom, and unpredictability do we still allow ourselves?
THE SPACE BETWEEN creates a framework to reflect on the fundamental tension between control and chaos – a dynamic present in both ancient systems like the I Ching and the algorithmic structures that shape our present. Rather than offering conclusion, THE SPACE BETWEEN opens a field of thought for contemplating the coexistence of structure and chance. It opens up a dialogue about our relationship to uncertainty: Do we see it as a threat, or as something essential to life itself?

Who are we in the third life? In DOPPELGÄNGER, visitors meet a digitized version of themselves. Through AI conversations, fragments like preferences and memories are collected and used to create a profile. A webcam captures each visitor’s photo, transforming it into a 3D avatar. This digital figure, enriched with personal data, enters a virtual world to interact with other copies. The project explores: When our digital reflections live on, who are we really?

The installation WATER explores humanity’s attempt to impose order on natural patterns through mechanical means.
Observing streams, the diverse movements of flowing water reveal rhythms reminiscent
of human walking and running. Although humanity originates from nature, nature itself appears free,
without fixed order or criteria, while humans continually seek to organize and control it.
Recorded patterns of water flow are reinterpreted as an installation where a single thread moves back
and forth, drawing a boundary between natural chaos and imposed order.

Seoyeon Lee explores what quietly exists and disappears around humans but often goes unnoticed.
Her work unfolds through installations, interactive art, and video, centering on themes of nature, memory,
and time. With a background in media engineering and media art, she experiments with technology
as a creative medium. Her practice aims to reframe it from something rigid and distant into an experience
that feels softer, more approachable, and emotionally resonant. Her practice invites viewers to pause,
reflect, and connect with invisible yet meaningful traces.

When the sliding door closes, it`s the start of a very special road trip!
TRIP uses the van as a soundscape, musical instrument, screen and stage.
An exclusive soundtrack of electronics and acoustic instruments.
The windows are being projected on from three sides with live visuals.
Engine noise, beaten windows, vibrations and metallic sounds take you on a journey.
The road leads from landscapes to associations, memories and desires. Its fragrance is that of freedom.
Each one is on its own trip, where you get lost and wake up dazed only when the door to reality opens up again,
to a moment of collective madness in which the van transforms into a gigantic percussion instrument.
Every TRIP evening has its own dynamic.

Mit Dolphin Love kommt ein Künstler, der Zuhörende mit auf eine Reise nimmt. Seine Welt ist eine voller Extreme und Kontraste, im einen Moment in Ekstase und im nächsten Nichts.

Nach Potsdam kommt er mit seiner dritten EP “NOT FROM HERE”. Auf dieser hat er erneut versucht sich herauszufordern und neue Wege erkundet. In der Single “FEEL IT TOO” vermittelt er die nostalgische Erinnerung an eine Person, mit der man sowohl positive, als auch negative Erinnerungen verbindet. Die (Sound)Welt strahlt eine Wärme,
Leichtigkeit und Aufbruchstimmung aus. Auf der Suche nach etwas Neuem und raus aus dem Alten.
