yesNoPerhaps

2021

Terrasse des Rohan, Strasbourg, France

From random combinations, glyphs emerge. Some become letters, some words, and through AI-assisted ordering, a text arises from chance alone, probing the boundary between sense and nonsense in the public sphere.

ZaitWuert

2019

Casino Luxembourg, Forum d’art contemporain, Luxembourg

A 6 letters display replaces the former light sign of the art center contextualising its name, related to its historic function of a Casino, by using chance operations to display random generated words.

365Leuven

2019

De Hoorn, Leuven, Belgium

A seven-letter display overlooks Leuven’s city centre, revealing a new randomly generated word each day and opening a field of associations and interpretations.

SiloScope

2014

Quai Jules Guesde, Vitry-sur-Seine, Paris, France

The 20 m high hyperboloid is a sound-reactive light sculpture located on the banks of the Seine in Vitry-sur-Seine. Through triangulated microphones, it detects the direction and speed of sounds from the urban environment, translating these data into dynamic light patterns.

LuxAeternae

2012

AZF Mémorial, Toulouse, France

Lux Aeterna is the official memorial for the explosion of the AZF factory in Toulouse, France. The disaster took place on 21 September 2001, and is one of the most significant industrial accidents of its time, due to the magnitude of damage and the number of victims.

Kontexte

2021

crossover Loredana Marchi, Brussels, Belgium

As a result of combinatorial logic, random words appear only for the time needed to generate them. Their rhythm contrasts with the flow of the city, forming a fleeting urban poem that invites imagination.

Palimpsest

2019

Wijkpark De Porre, Ghent, Belgium

Random generated words scroll along the crown of a former industrial cooling tower. Each new word overwrites older ones, creating a palimpsest of pure combinatorial logic, a poem in the skyline of Ghent.

365Charleroi

2016

Quai 10 and La Vigie, Charleroi, Belgium

Facing Charleroi’s central station and city ring, an eight-letter display atop the Quai10 building reveals one randomly generated word each day. 365 questions our reading of urban space and opens interpretations.

10e-15

2014

Centre de recherche Femto, Temis Science, Besançon, France

The title refers to the metric scale of femto, used in photon technologies. The artwork translates this principle into a 15 m long frieze of Fresnel lenses, transforming the landscape into an impressionistic play of light and inviting passers-by to enter pure light.

weatherTower

2007

Weather Tower, Rogier Tower, Brussels, Belgium

yearly illumination of Brussels Dexia Tower, displaying colour and geometric patterns driven by real-time data, provided by the Belgium Royal Meterological Institute. The artwork turns the tower into a weather beacon right in the very centre of the city.
