SPHERE 1 is the earliest stage of AVANTGARDEN.
The works combine sculpture, experimental chemistry, basic robotics, sound, and virtual environments.
The environments function as constructed garden-like systems.
Sculptural objects, chemical substances, robotic components and digital systems are placed within shared spatial setups.

ELIXIR MACHINE is a physical and virtual system combining sculpture, scent diffusion and a Unity-based simulation.
A physical structure releases a mixture of herbal substances into the space.
The system includes a virtual environment where visitor silhouettes are captured and converted into particle-based formations.
These formations are processed using procedural noise and geometric distribution algorithms.
The generated states are stored as digital outputs.

GARDEN OF THE ELIXIR PILL is a system combining robotic movement, sand surfaces and generative text.
Small robotic units move across a granular surface and shift material through vibration.
A generative text system produces continuously changing text sequences based on classical philosophical sources.
A sculptural object processes water through layered materials including clay, minerals and pigments.
Water is collected in transparent containers.

SPIRITUS AGENS is a circulation system based on ethanol and filtration processes.
Liquid is moved through activated carbon filtration and redistributed within containers.
A secondary output system produces coded audio signals based on timed intervals.
The system runs continuously within a closed loop.
