SPHERE 4 consists of social VR environments developed across VRChat and Sansar.
The works contain constructed virtual landscapes combining botanical forms, orbital structures and proto-machine objects.
The environments are organized as garden-like spatial systems.
Proto-machine structures appear throughout as static architectural elements.
Botanical and synthetic forms are placed together within shared spatial arrangements.
Sound is used in several environments as a spatial component affecting movement and density of presence.

EDEN consists of a virtual garden environment populated by synthetic plants, serpentine forms and proto-machine structures.

GENESIS consists of a garden environment combined with algorithmically generated sound based on minimal techno structures.

CLUB consists of a social VR environment structured around gathering, movement and sound.

CLUB 2.0 consists of a continuation of CLUB in a different platform environment with altered spatial behavior.

Across all SPHERE 4 environments, objects, avatars and structures coexist within shared virtual space.
