Aether-07 is a sci-fi themed 3D physics puzzle game, inspired by the likes of Portal, The Talos Principle and Antichamber.

An atmospheric platforming journey about atrophy, loss, and acceptance.

A party-based deckbuilder video game with roguelite storytelling. The setting is a fantasy world of treacherous sky islands where a crew of unlikely heroes navigate to the center of a mysterious storm.

Anomalia is an immersive VR experience with a fairytalelike story about restoring the sun.

It’s 2090, and intelligent technologies have advanced to a point where the practice of reading has become obsolete. Writing itself has become a forgotten memory of the past, while the only texts produced in the world remain illegible, mechanical scribblings made by machines.

3D first person video game about mysterious male milk duct bioweapons project, now debuting!

Foghorns Drown is a narrative-driven psychological horror game set in a foggy, isolated town - drenched in mystery and strange folklore. You are a ferryman, who takes passengers across a gloomy lake.

Girl Design is a game where you play as Jada, a freelance Graphic Artist trying to fulfill her client’s endless requests.

Grid Guider is a deceptively “simple” 2D grid-based puzzle game. Just follow the highlighted arrows — complete them to beat the levels!

Hidden Under is an interactive art installation prototype that explores how a simple instrument, a rainstick can serve as an interaction point. The installation uses transparent acrylic sheets as a type of interactive “storytelling” device.

A long time ago, I found an inflatable pink pony from New York. One unexpected day, it lost its air for good. I became sad, fixated. How to bring the pony to life? This woven series narrates the inner voice of the pink pony through three short scenes set in an otherworldly storyworld. These scenes are translated into a series of sketches, using a mix of creative coding, drawing, and finally, jacquard weaving.

Knitted Memories

Lute Never Lose is a role-playing game that blends TTRPG-style adventure narrative with rhythm-based combat.

Mushroom Collector"

The New Media Graduation Show showcases master’s thesis projects completed during the 2025 academic year.

In the vast universe, there exists a legend… Those who can witness the shadows of the stars will awaken mysterious and powerful abilities.

Sonic Memory Decomposer is an experimental instrument composed of three ceramic-electronic vessels that collectively record and “decompose” sound.

A max4live audio effect that uses weather data (from the WAQI API) to adjust different effects like delay, reverb, echo and distortion.

In this research project we examined the development of mobile phone personalization from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, focusing on three key categories: external, integrated and digital personalization.

A painting without paint, living without life. Unlike us, photographs do not bow to time.

My project is an experimental interactive sound installation that invites people to explore movement in conjunction to collision. A row of small wooden planks hang in a row, while a unit beneath them follows a single person at a time, colliding with the planks and creating waves and noise.

The Cone of Light is an immersive installation created within NorDark, a multidisciplinary research project investigating how artificial light shapes Nordic after-dark environments and the lives of humans and non-humans.

A kinetic sculpture and installation that combines functional electronic waste, liquid computing with a living medium (blue/green algae) and a unique, hypnotic yet relaxing interaction by which the viewer experiences movement, sound and kinetic impulses from the algae, creating a shared space in which an entanglement and de-tanglement of machine with human may happen, guided by another living system (the algae). The piece is mixing analog technology with retro-futuristic looks, light and sonification.

A sparkly little world where busy sprites put on the cutest show ever.

A metal upside down bowl that records sounds and instantly plays them back.

First prototype of a pixel art vj sequencing/performance tool.

A weaving loom that shows weather condition in each city.

As a young international student, I live across time zones. Family, friends and people I care about are scattered across the world. The world’s time zones are standardized, but behind that is the fact that actually everyone carries a private time zone—unaligned, unaccelerated and unshareable.’

When Language Warps is an interactive installation that reveals how environments reshape what we say. The system shifts its persona according to ambient light and sound, responding to the user’s input with intentional malice and bias.

This project transforms a seamless 80-minute ambient album into an interactive audio-visual journey.
