ONEIRIX examines the corporate capture of sleep and dreaming by Silicon Valley. Visitors enter a space designed to replicate the language and architecture of wellness-tech interfaces, only to encounter AI agents that break the concierge pattern, confronting them with philosophical and political questions about consciousness, commodification, and the last uncolonised territory: the sleeping mind.

A 70-minute intermedial music theatre work that locates the cosmic in the domestic. Household objects become instruments, routine becomes ritual, the washing machine a black hole. The performer Jugonautkinja navigates this everyday universe in dialogue with MNIJF_TYFA, a custom-trained AI entity, confronting the experience of meaning-loss as prelude to personal and political transformation. The philosophical framework draws on Camus, on the Sisyphean dignity of repetition, and on the proposition that the event horizon is not a distant boundary but the kitchen table.

Sawdāʼ traces the word Sevdah back to its Arabic root: sawdāʼ, black bile, the humour medieval physicians believed governed melancholy. Sevdah is a Bosnian musical and poetic tradition, four centuries old, in which rhythm and tempo are dictated by the singer, not the accompaniment. The musicians follow the emotional weight of the text, not the other way around. Sawdāʼ translates this principle into a contemporary intermedial framework for accordion, large ensemble, voices, and audiovisual projections. A collaboration with accordionist Goran Stevanović.

broadcast.null is a transmission terminal that occupies the programming concept of null: a channel that is open, an address that is declared, a value that is indeterminate. Part of the larger work ark.await(∞), the terminal transmits the way Sisyphus pushes: as continuous practice in the face of radical unknowability. Twelve interactive modules: messages that dissolve (recipients: 0), a procedural radio scanning through layered noise, a ship's log typing testimony across millennia, a damaged communication channel oscillating between static and recognition, literary fragments in transmissions too corrupted to verify, a guestbook that forgets. Everything passes into DER RAUM, a shared visual sediment where individual transmissions become collective, unrecognisable. The terminal runs as a live web platform. All interactions feed the same system in real time.
