multimedia + digital design + interaction

Zkrat

I'm part of Zkrat Collective, which focuses on creating multimedia, interactive, and generative installations, digital and analog stage design.Project Temporary Space Restriction (exhibited 05.04. – 11.05.2024 at Klub Solitaer, Chemnitz) focuses on invisible places that people pass through daily or merely use as shortcuts. It interconnects their digital replicas into a maze where the destination and current location are unclear. The absurdity of these everyday situations forms the basis of a video game in which the viewer navigates through empty spaces, underpasses, and streets. Curated by Nela Kuhnová.more works on instagram

Slovak National Gallery

Digital Layer of the Exhibition on Architect Vladimír DedečekVladimír Dedeček's Legacy — a laser-projected rendition of the architect's handwriting illuminates the ceiling of the Slovak National Gallery's bridge.Dynamic portrait — a rippling photograph of Dedeček greets visitors as they enter the exhibition.Interactive 3D model — a detailed digital reconstruction of Dedeček's original design for the Slovak National Gallery complex. Visitors can explore the model using a gyroscopic cube—rotating the cube rotates the gallery model in real time.

Inside the Mind of Marko Blažo — an interactive black-box projection showcasing a selection of digital works discovered on the artist’s storage drives. The projection dynamically adapts to the number of visitors in the room, displaying as many artworks as there are people present — highlighting the vastness and diversity of Blažo’s creative output.

Exhibition opening projection design.A projection-based stage design featuring Marko Blažo’s iconic cathedral variations. His artworks seamlessly blend into one another, shifting in color, motifs, and foreground elements while preserving the outlines of the cathedral.Large-Scale projection inspired by works from the permanent exhibition, a generative curtain flows across the space. Its movement is occasionally revealing intricate patterns of traditional lace.

AATB

I had an internship at AATB in Marseille where I learned how robots can be used for creating generative design using different tools.aatb.ch For example spraying on tees and hats at Adidas Originals event.(Agency: @the_midnight_club Creative Concept: @aldokahane & @jameshayeswho)

A larger scale AATB project I am collaborating on is WOOL TOOLS.It is an ongoing research robotic felting project which combines the wool felting technique with robotic manufacturing. Exhibited in Milano – Alcova.I worked on the software side, generating textures, communicating with robot and creating the website.wool-tools.com

Public art

Art installation presenting unique public art (60s – 80s in Bratislava) which is often neglected and destroyed.Viewers can interact with digitalized public art using stone motion controller – stone as a material lost in digitalisation. Displayed object is moving the same way as a controller.Viewers throw light onto the public art objects whenever they walk around the installation – camera is recognising motion in front of installation which is then projected in the form of glowing silhouettes onto the object.

Ordinaments are fragments of reality – ordinary objects which are not hard to find. The commonness of ordinaments makes them overlooked and underestimated for residents of the city. But a closer look can reveal their uniqueness. Ordinaments are captured by 3D scanning technology which isolates small fragments from the surroundings, the rest is left to viewer’s imagination. The sound completes the atmosphere of the specific moment.ordinaments.xyz

Personal receipt

Personal Receipt is a receipt generator. After using a card, a pixel-style receipt is printed. The receipt contains the face of the person for whom the notebook was printed, inscriptions and icons related to consumer and consumer goods.

In my project, receipts are the main output, not just a by-product of purchase. After using the card, no information is printed on how much money we have spent, but strong inscriptions and icons point to the negative consequences of shopping and consumption. Each receipt has its own theme expressed by percentages, facts and icons. To create a more personal dimension, the face of the person who attaches the card is also printed on the pad. Because it affects us all equally.

My bachelor thesis studies a problem of user experience testing. The aim of the study is to reveal relationships between results of objective and subjective evaluation methods where the EEG data from human brain and user activity represent the objective methods, and answers to questionnaire questions represent the subjective method. User experience testing is performed individually with 20 participants. After analyzing the results, relationships in the data are found and the data are visualized in a form of poster series.
