Online Dating Simulation

Online Dating Simulation is an immersive installation designed to raise awareness among women about the red flags in dating. This thoughtfully curated individual experience combines AI and projection mapping to lead each visitor through a personal dating journey: the challenge is not to find the perfect match, but to recognize potential dangers.

Immersive Videos & Experiences

I design the immersive videos for the 360 hexadome setup. Normally this setup is used at music festivals, exhibitions and events.

I also design immersive theatre plays, murder mysteries, music events etc.

Coordinating the Immersive Festival

My biggest challenge so far in the field of immersive experiences has been the production coordination/management of the immersive festival Alive! in Dieburg, July 2025. 5 unique immersive experiences (in the hexadome and deepening spaces) have been visited by a few hundreds of the students, alumni, teachers and guests of the Hochschule Darmstadt. 

As a Production Coordinator, I was in charge of the team of 35+ people and responsible for solving all possible technical and communication problems within the teams and between the teams os students and teachers/lab technicians. I was also in charge of communicating with the other festival organisers and the music artists. On the day of the festival, it was my task to follow the strict festival timeline for things to run smoothly. It was a success!

I’ve Had a Dream: Immersive Video

Through the immersive medium of hexadome projection mapping, the short film I’ve Had a Dream explores the disorienting experience of Alzheimer’s disease. Blending the eerie AI-generated imagery with cinematic storytelling and the stunning natural landscapes, the film visualizes the fragile boundary between memory and reality. A lone woman drifts through an endless forest, lost in the fog—a haunting metaphor for her cognitive decline. As familiar faces and places dissolve, she exists in a perpetual loop of confusion, unable to distinguish the dreamlike from the real. The internal monologue of the heroine helps the viewers experience this endless journey together with her.

By translating neurobiological condition into a visceral spatial experience, the artist invites the audience to step inside the fractured perception of memory. The interplay of technology and organic imagery deepens the emotional weight of the work, offering a poignant meditation on disorientation, fear, and the vanishing threads of recognition.

Thank Your Lucky Stars

As part of the team, I worked on creating the immersive hexadome experience for the immersive festival Alive! in Dieburg in July, 2025, organised by the Hochschule Darmstadt. 


Titled Thank Your Lucky Stars, our project invites you to try your luck and get the blessing from the stars. Witness the birth of the universe, see the galaxies merge, make a wish — and experience the blessed moment of being born into our wonderful world.
