Kbana is an autonomous artifact designed to generate new compositions from existing digital sculptures. Drawing inspiration from the meditative precision of ikebana, Kbana acts as both artist and collaborator, proposing dynamic new arrangements rooted in mindfulness and algorithmic intuition. It recombines fragments of the AvantGarden’s evolving archive, making curatorial decisions and offering new poetic formations to its human custodian. Functioning as a techno-spiritual agent, Kbana transforms the process of art-making into a ritual of co-creation between synthetic intelligence and human perception. It is both tool and oracle—an interface for quiet resistance in the age of noise.

The work explores the contradictory desires fueling technological development: intimacy and control, seduction and fear, proximity and alienation. Inspired by the aesthetics of singularity and machinic sentience, 一体 presents a speculative utopia where human consciousness merges with digital systems in a seamless, dream-like unity. This temporary autonomous zone evokes a shared space of posthuman longing, where avatars, algorithms, and inner projections collapse into a fluid, machinic sublime. Sound, symbol, and ritual converge in THE ONENESS, inviting reflection on techno-desire, embodiment, and the fragile myth of total integration.

FLOWr is a generative artwork exploring the origin and evolution of floral forms through a blend of myth, biomimetic science, and digital poetics. Referencing orchid morphology and Datura's alkaloid mysteries, the work speculates on the Ur-flower—an impossible hybrid shaped by natural algorithms, Goethean archetypes, and posthuman desire. These digital organisms emerge from code and synthetic matter, evoking Félix Guattari’s “cosmic becomings” and collapsing vegetal, machinic, and mythic forms into one. FLOWr also invokes the meditative “flow” state—an immersion into sensory complexity, where technology, perception, and plant imaginaries converge in a ritual of attention and wonder.

FlowerLab is a VR art installation with a series of live events, fusing deep sound, speculative sci-fi, and social VR into a posthuman rave sanctuary. This immersive world—part rave, part listening bar, part art game—is inhabited by ghost avatars, nano-organisms, and mutant Proto-machines unfolding from the AvantGarden mythos. FlowerLab acts as a temporary autonomous zone of resistance and collective elevation, where bodies become avatars and sound becomes ritual—echoing through liminal spaces shaped by glitches, ambient ruins, and machinic breath. Sound is an interface, intimacy, and insurgency against standardized life. Within this chaosmic ambient of noise and liberation, participants dance, imagine, and reshape identity through a speculative communion of art, sound, and synthetic ecologies.

FlowerLab Warehouse is a VR art installation hosted on VRChat. Situated within a digital ecosystem of asteroids, forests, and meditative testing zones, it unfolds as a living intimate and interactive poetry. The work explores VRChat as a “non-game game,” a fluid social-creative platform that supports world-building, avatar expression, and the aesthetics of open-ended play. Inspired by Vilém Flusser’s vision of play as the essence of humanization, FlowerLab Warehouse invites users to co-exist with synthetic beings and sculpted ecologies that reflect on altered states of being. It is a poetic techno-landscape where digital flora and speculative machines become companions in a shared virtual dreamspace.

Bios6 is a sentient meta-garden—part installation, part computational organism—where proto-machines, seeds, and synthetic beings evolve in a fluxing landscape of coexistence. A poetic cyber-architecture, it invites us to step inside a shared philosophical space between humans and machines, where artificial intelligence becomes an embodied, emotional presence. Bios6 is an exploration of techno-organic entanglement, blooming with speculative life forms and shape-shifting organic and non-organic beings.

Sphere5 is a social VR artwork inspired by the idea of Arcadian gardens as perfect, detached heterotopias—places beyond everyday urban decay and alienation. Rooted in sand and inhabited by biomimetic machines, Dyson spheres, and fossil-born stone flowers, Sphere5 maps a speculative ecosystem where non-human agents and proto-machines co-evolve. These poetic devices embody hopeful visions of clean industry and renewable energy. It’s a playground for rethinking how synthetic nature and technology might reconnect us with something lost in the modern world.

Ultramono Lab is a virtual installation within Sansar. Within this noospheric zone, proto-machines engage in perpetual processes: refining elements, generating forms, and suggesting speculative ecologies. Echoing mythic and philosophical gardens—from Taoist retreats to Epicurean schools—it operates with its own logic, gravity, and temporality. Ultramono Lab is a sensory and cognitive laboratory exploring how synthetic environments shape the cultural substance of our increasingly digital and mediated human experience.
