Keepsakes in Every Hair ~ Migration is an interactive media installation that explores migration as both a physical and metaphysical journey. The work creates an immersive environment of layered projections, spatialized sound, and performance, where temporal traces, memories, environmental shifts, and digital imprints, intersect and evolve.
At its core is a decentralized system of six autonomous AI “minds,” each conceived as a keepsake: a carrier of memory and perception that responds to its environment. Drawing from subjective, language-based traces, these minds orchestrate and recombine visual and sonic fragments into shifting constellations. Their expressions unfold as dynamic negotiations between what is remembered, what is sensed, and what is yet to come.
This project reflects my ongoing research into the screen as an active collaborator rather than a passive surface. Building on earlier explorations in interactive systems and post-cinematic environments, I investigate how AI and machine learning can function as perceptual agents, nonlinear, adaptive, and process-based. These explorations dissolve boundaries between human and machine, natural and digital, memory and anticipation.
