DENISOVA is an extended reality artwork developed in collaboration with Dave Stitch for Safe Street Art Festival, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Presented across both augmented and virtual reality platforms, the project explores the relationship between sound, space and perception through a series of audiovisual sculptures. Audio compositions drive the visual forms, generating evolving abstract structures that respond directly to the sonic environment.
The augmented reality component places ephemeral audiovisual sculptures throughout the city, creating site-responsive encounters that connect contemporary digital media with the surrounding urban landscape. The virtual reality experience expands these ideas into an immersive spatial environment, allowing visitors to navigate a speculative audiovisual interpretation of Denisova Square through spatial sound and generative visual systems.
Building upon earlier experiments in immersive media, the project investigates how audiences can navigate and shape their own experience through movement, proximity and exploration. Many of these interests, including participation, environmental responsiveness and the relationship between sound, light and space, continue to inform my installation practice today.

Virtual Reality
The VR experience features five asynchronous audiovisual compositions presented within a navigable virtual environment. Spatial audio and proximity-based interactions allow visitors to create unique sonic relationships as they move through the work, transforming listening into an active and exploratory experience.
Rendered as immersive 360-degree environments, the project extends ideas first explored through Cubing the Sphere, expanding the relationship between audiovisual composition, spatial navigation and audience agency.
DENISOVA VOID | Virtual Reality Experience
DENISOVA VOID features 5 asynchronous audiovisual stems that utilise spatial audio. Proximity to an audiovisual stem adjusts audio levels and pan, allowing viewers to create unique soundscapes and interact with the composition in ways previously unimaginable using traditional 2D paradigms.
Available in VR for full immersion, with browser support for computer/iPad viewing (though spatial audio functionality is limited). Individual audiovisual stems are presented below as standalone pieces.
