Hospitality Design - January 2020 - 144

back space pushing boundaries with

First impressions
I fell off an Eames chair in a job interview for a dream job with
Philips, the consumer electronics giant. Why I fell off? I was offered
the job with no qualifications or prior experience.

Galaxy brain
Science and art serve each other when in tandem. The worlds I
build tell stories about complex themes, like genetic engineering
or artificial intelligence. Stories create memories, and when
visualized in familiar and human ways, imaginations hover.

Debut work
The Swallowable Parfum, a cosmetic pill that works from the inside
out, emitting a biologically enhanced fragrance through the skin's
surface. The work was released as a campaign trailer and went viral.
Within days, I had offers from leading pharmaceutical companies
wanting to be the first in their country to sell the product.

Stranger than fiction
I'm part of a group show in Tel Aviv's Museum of Holon called
State of Extremes. I'm presenting a Future Survival Kit, a story
seen through the eyes of a post-apocalyptic sherpa who holds a
book about a warning from the past. The work requires two people
to engage in an activity, whereby a lo-fi machine hugs you. The
firmness of the hug is manually operated by a stranger kneeling
beside a body that is sandwiched between blubber-like cushions,
where the body is lulled to surrender.

Big break
A four-minute TED talk presenting Parfum and a music video
I made with Swedish pop star Robyn [for her 2010 song
"Indestructible"].

Trust the process
Whatever I make, its purpose has to prepare us for what's coming.
Art is a mechanism to signal and provoke our ideologies and ethics
about who we are and where we are headed.
