Humanity & AI

Concept · Piano · Arrangement · Project Design

A cross-media performance exploring memory, grief, machine intelligence, and the fragile hope of coexistence.

War, grief, love, uncertainty, machine intelligence, and the hope of symbiosis unfold through piano, dance, visuals, light, and audience reflection.

The project does not offer an answer to the future. It creates a space where humanity and AI can be felt, questioned, and imagined.

An Invite · Guide · Echo project, inviting the audience to experience, respond, and carry the performance beyond the moment itself.

Audience Echo

After the performance, audience members were invited to share one word or feeling that stayed with them, allowing the experience to echo beyond the performance itself.

Resonance of Life

Concept · Piano · Arrangement · Project Development

Paintings, music, and space shaped into an emotional journey.

A multi-sensory project at Museum De Fundatie, combining classical music, visual art, spatial design, VJ projections, and audience response.

The project was shaped around paintings by Marianne von Werefkin, including Der Tänzer Sacharoff, Ballo mascherato / Carnevale, and Allerseelen.

The audience was guided through three emotional scenes: a beginning, a moment of love or life’s climax, and a final farewell.

Audience responses suggested that music helped viewers connect the paintings with personal memory, emotion, and imagination.
