This section presents projects developed at the intersection of art, technology, and society, as processes of inquiry. Through sound, interactive media, technology and cultural experimentation, they reflect my ongoing interest in how art can question established patterns, reveal hidden dynamics, and open spaces for collective reflection.
Art, Science & Technology Project
This project explores the intersection of art, science, and environmental awareness through creative expression, civic engagement, and participatory action. It invites audiences to reflect on their consumption habits and the impact of climate change, offering opportunities to take tangible action through gamification and digital community engagement.
Developed in collaboration with Pablo Sotres (Technologist), Tarín Herrera (Researcher), and myself, Reinold Lozeda (Artist), the project was founded by the Goethe-Institut and four additional embassies in Mexico. It combines a video narrative, an interactive web platform, and a mobile app that links digital participation to real-world reforestation.
Participants complete challenges in the platform, and successful actions trigger the planting of real trees in Mexico, symbolizing how small, collective efforts can lead to large-scale environmental transformation.
Hydro-Echoe:
The Voice of the Water
Every body of water has a hidden voice shaped by human activity.
When we listen, we understand how our actions affect ecosystems.
Hydro-Echoe invites people to experience water as a living system rather than just a resource. The semi-submerged, egg-shaped device senses water conditions—clarity and movement—through light and pressure changes and translates them into immediate sensory feedback: color, vibration, and sound.
Each environmental state—clean and still, clean and moving, murky and still, or murky and moving—triggers a distinct combination of light, tactile vibration, and sound, allowing visitors to perceive water as responsive and dynamic. Blue indicates calm, clean water; green signals flowing water; brown/orange warns of stagnant pollution; and red alerts to active contamination.
By turning environmental data into a shared, intuitive language, Hydro-Echoe encourages reflection on human impact and our relationship with aquatic ecosystems. The project demonstrates how interaction, technology, and observation can make ecological understanding tangible, felt, and memorable.
theTorch is a tangible light installation that visualizes cycling activity at TU Wien, translating collective mobility data into an ambient, shared experience. Acting as a public display, the installation glows and shifts in color in response to cycling activity, encouraging awareness of sustainable transportation through subtle, non-intrusive feedback.
theTorch adopts a brutalist, architectural aesthetic that contrasts with the soft, dynamic illumination of its upper section. This material tension emphasizes the relationship between infrastructure, movement, and human presence in urban space. A side display complements the light-based visualization by presenting real-time information, including weather conditions, air quality, and cycling leaderboards. Together, these elements connect data, environment, and collective behavior, inviting reflection on how everyday mobility choices shape our shared urban ecosystems
