01 · Digital Twin ADE Panel

Felix Meritis was rebuilt as a digital twin and used as a trial run for what became Ravel. Covid had capped how many people could physically sit in the room for the Amsterdam Dance Event panel talks; the twin removed the cap without pretending the physical room was not still the point.

02 · Hello From

A short-throw beamer sat behind a projector screen with a camera in front of it, linking the physical room to the virtual one. People in the space could see the people who were not, and be seen by them.

03 · The other side

The same event from the other direction — a first-person laptop view of the talks, joining the room from wherever you happened to be.
