Installation for the dome of the Sensorium at the SAT of Montreal (QC, CA).

In the weightless world of MATTER, corresponding to Kurt Hentschläger’s recent live show CLUSTER, human figures appear mostly as interconnected, dependant bodies, as a pulsing, tumbling, amorphous mass rather than individuals asserting their own will. Generative in nature and thus taking on a life of its own, MATTER emerges as a many
faceted organism, in constant motion and interplay, without beginning or end.

• Premiere: 30 May - 16 June 2012, Society for Arts and Technology [SAT], Satosphere, Montreal (QC, CA)

• Premiere of the new version designed for planetariums, STROM:
05 - 06 November 2021, DIVE Immersive Arts Festival, Zeiss Planetarium dome in Bochum (DE), curated by Tobias Wiethoff and Tobias Staab.
