MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION
An installation composed of two iMac screens integrated into an organic plaster structure that expands through the corridors of LABA Valencia. Each screen displays sharp objects penetrating skin-like surfaces, each with its own distinct form, sound, and color.
MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION
A collaborative multimedia installation that combines ceramics, servomotors, light, and sound. The work consists of 27 reflective ceramic pieces in motion, choreographed through a network of motors and illuminated with multicolored LED lights. The whole creates an immersive experience of light, reflection, and movement that transforms the surrounding space.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
An interactive installation that combines scenography, lighting, video mapping, and sound. Built across three spatial layers, the piece invites the audience to intervene using keyboards that trigger visual and sonic compositions in real time. The result is an immersive dialogue between image, sound, and participation.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
An installation that combines nature and digital art through holograms inspired by micro-worlds of the fungi kingdom. Using light, acrylic, 3D visuals, and sound, the work recreates small immersive ecosystems that invite an intimate contemplation of the natural world.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
A sound installation that pays tribute to polypoetry through a composition distributed across ten speakers placed throughout the space. Monologues and conversations collected over recent months intertwine to create a soundscape that explores everyday life, human relationships, and the diversity of voices, ages, and backgrounds.
INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
This interactive installation proposes an immersive environment where organic forms float and move across a projected wall. The audience can directly intervene by touching and moving these digital organisms, triggering real-time visual and sound responses. Through collective interaction, the piece continuously transforms into a landscape of particles, movement, and metamorphosis.
LIGHT INSTALLATION
LED tubes generate a soft, diffused glow, while lasers create precise lines, establishing a dialogue between two complementary visual languages. A central interactive totem of light and sound combines both elements and transforms through user interaction and external voices into dynamic patterns.
MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION
Bina Sheraz transforms her intimate, dreamlike universe of illustrations into audiovisual albums through Improvisa, allowing users to create visual and sound compositions using the keyboard as a piano. Through her different collections, the audience can explore her worlds and generate their own videos and non-linear narratives.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
An installation that explores community life as a dynamic network where each individual contributes to the whole, especially within a context of digital homogenization. Light filtering through forest leaves becomes a metaphor for human interaction, where unity and diversity generate collective beauty.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION
An installation in which a laser beam cyclically activates ephemeral portals of images and videos that emerge and disappear within the space. These projections function as hidden worlds briefly unearthed, exploring memory, perception, and the construction of the human condition through light, image, and sound.
INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
An interactive sound installation in which participants, by moving across a video mapping projection on the floor, generate a collective symphony in real time. Their movements transform the visual projections and trigger associated sounds, turning the space into a living organism of immersive co-creation where the audience becomes an active part of the work.
