    Sensing the Invisible: Breathing Life into the Universe
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Cheng, Qifeng; Seaman, William; Berio, Daniel; Bruckert, Alexandre
    In an era where machines seemingly ''think'' like us, what truly sets us apart? Sensing the Invisible - Breathing Life into the Universe is an interactive installation that explores the dialogue between human sensory experiences-exemplified by the subtle act of breathing-and the responses of machine sensors. By employing a microphone, humidity sensor, and air pressure sensor, this artwork translates the invisible act of breathing into dynamic visual expressions that evoke celestial concepts, reminiscent of how Earth's most powerful sensors-telescopes-capture the cosmos. It seeks to understand how machine sensors communicate and interact with us across different frequencies and scales, extending beyond the limits of our own sensory systems. This paper describes the conceptual framework, design, technical implementation, and audience interactions that underscore a new language of human-machine communication.

    Where Are We Now?
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Williams, Peter J.; Wong, Sala; Berio, Daniel; Bruckert, Alexandre
    Where Are We Now? is an interactive physical computing artwork that contrasts moments throughout a recent period of intense changes in Hong Kong. Recalling the use of weaving in early computing and image creation, it is a mechanical display made up of urban landscape images on looped, woven ribbons that expressively rub up against one another. Pulling, snagging and fraying, their tension brings out complications in daily life amid societal shifts. This difficult movement expresses the complex and conflicted nature of Hong Kong's recent history, specifically between 2018 and 2024, the years when the collaged 360- degree/panoramic urban landscape photographs which are printed onto the ribbons were made.
