Really looking forward to this Friday, when we’ll present Dökk at Stanford University, within Stanford Live.

As part of the public program, we’ve also been invited to give a talk at CCRMA, the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford. We will be in conversation with Risa Wechsler, Professor of Physics and Astrophysics and Director of the Kavli Foundation for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology.

The talk takes place today, Wednesday 3rd December, at 5:30pm, and will also be available to watch live on Zoom - link here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/ccrma-and-stanford-live-present-fuse-in-conversation-with-risa-wechsler-kipac

Dökk will be performed on Friday evening at 7:30pm, and will be followed by a short Q&A with our team.

For each of our installations, it is always precious to witness how many people and professionals come together to support and bring our vision to life. With Luna Somnium, this is especially true: such a complex and challenging work can only exist as the result of a collective effort.

This is why our time in Riyadh for Noor Riyadh Festival has been especially meaningful. We are deeply grateful to Riyadh Art and Nouf Almoneef for making this possible, and to the amazing curatorial team Mami Kataoka, Sara Almutlaq, Li Zhenhua. A profound thanks to Ilaria Bonacossa, Davide Quadrio, Lucrezia Cippitelli and Bruno Bolfo.

Luna Somnium is presented in King Abdulaziz historical centre until Dec 6th.

Eight years after its creation, Dökk continues its global tour and will be presented in California at Stanford Live on Dec 5.

After premiering Sál earlier this year, returning to Dökk feels particularly meaningful: a performance very different in form, yet deeply connected to Sál as part of the same trilogy. After months devoted to the new creation, revisiting this previous chapter will be truly special.

The performance will happen on Dec 5th at 7:30pm, tickets here: https://live.stanford.edu/events/25-26season/memorial-auditorium/dokk-by-fuse-2/

We couldn’t be more excited to see Luna Somnium's international debut at Noor Riyadh Festival.

Bringing together 59 international artists with 60 artworks across the city, Luna Somnium will debut in front of an international audience, following its Italian première at Videocittà in 2022 and its second presentation in Verona in 2023 thanks to Pasqua Wines. We are glad to be sharing the stage with many friends and colleagues like Ryoichi Kurokawa, Random International, Studio Above and Below.

Luna Somnium remains our most ambitious installations to date, and it’s always a privilege to bring it to life again, each time in a new context that fosters dialogue and connection with local communities and audiences.
The installation will be on display from 20 November to 6 December.

These past few months have been among the most active touring periods for Onirica (), which recently celebrated its second anniversary. We’re grateful to see how a work conceived two years ago still finds new ways to connect with audiences, confirming that a strong idea, supported by research, can make an artwork relevant long after the technology behind it has evolved.

Before summer, the work found its home at Triennale Milano (IT), where it is currently exhibited, and at NVIDIA GTC in Paris (FR), within a small showcase that also included some physical pieces from the series. In September, it was presented at the Lost Art Festival in Berlin (DE), followed by an appearance at the RADAR Festival in Bucharest (RO). A few weeks later, the work travelled to Krakow (PL) for the Patchlab Festival. At the moment, Onirica () is also on view at the Kinobeat Festival in Porto Alegre (BR).

Two years ago, we were in Mexico City with Dökk, performing as part of MUTEK México - an incredible venue and atmosphere that we still remember with great fondness. We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity and for the warm welcome we received from the production team and Mexican audience.

Dökk is taking off again: the performance will land at Stanford Live in California on Dec 5th, with two shows scheduled. Get your tickets here 🎟️ https://live.stanford.edu/events/25-26season/memorial-auditorium/dokk-by-fuse-2/

One of the core inspirations behind the narrative structure of Sál is the concept of the dissolution of consciousness, a process that many traditional cultures describe through the transformation of the elements. The progression of scenes follows this elemental dissolution: the continual transformation of earth, water, fire, and air, each giving way to the next.

Across ancient traditions, life is seen as composed of these fundamental elements. In Buddhism, for instance, they are understood not as static substances but as ever-changing processes, which also dissolve at the moment of death.

In the third room of Sál, water turns into fire: the relentless pull of life’s current gives way to the intensity and ardor of the all-consuming element.

The narrative structure of the performance of Onirica () unfolds through a constellation of themes that feel deeply familiar to us all - echoes of the landscapes we often encounter in our own dreams.

Among these, one section stands apart: the exploration of nightmares. Perhaps because nightmares reveal something so intimate, so unsettling, we felt it was important to give them form. It is often this part of the work that leaves the strongest impression on viewers.

Through minimalism, obscurity, and a sense of vulnerability, we sought to evoke the anguish and disquiet that can emerge in the depths of sleep - those emotions we rarely name, yet instinctively recognize.

In the second section of Sál, after the introduction to the theme of accompaniment and the suspended, in-between atmosphere of the performance, the solid foundations of body and mind begin to crumble. Following an initial moment of surrender, all sense of control dissolves. Disorientation and fear slowly creep in - just like sinking into the depths of the ocean. After a first resistance, we ultimately yield to the struggle, embracing the flow of events with complete acceptance.

The visuals for this section are generated through simulations using BHAC, which reveal the behaviour of plasma around a black hole. These simulations are based on the specific initial conditions of FMTorus, a hydrodynamic equilibrium solution developed by Fishbone & Moncrief (1976).

Fragile is an audio-visual installation that investigates how stress reshapes the human brain.

In its first part, the work dives into data and high-resolution, detailed images of the brain provided by the Society for Neuroscience, transforming scientific material into digital projections. Across five screens, these reworked representations show how neuronal circuits reorganize under stress, altering the brain’s plasticity and capacity for adaptation.

Alongside this, a real-time algorithm continuously analyzes social media posts, predicting the level of stress expressed in each sentence. This collective stress value dynamically interacts with the audio-visual content, making the piece a living system shaped by both science and community input.

The work seeks to portray the human brain’s capacity to adapt and reshape itself through life experiences, in its ongoing pursuit of balance: a balance to be cherished and protected as something rare, precious, and inherently fragile.

Fragile premiered in 2021 at .

We’ve been exploring different versions of the trailer for Sál, experimenting with the many ways the piece can be experienced, thanks to its complex, multilayered nature.

Since its inception, Sál has offered many layers and interpretations, and this extended version of the trailer allows us to highlight a different facet of the performance. We’re excited to continue sharing these glimpses with you.

In the past few years, we have reimagined some of our works for the dome, a format that reshapes the viewing experience into a fully enveloping journey.

Multiverse .dome was first conceived as a prototype in 2020, with an initial presentation at the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab in Taipei, followed by a second in 2022 at MUTEK México. At Zeiss-Großplanetarium, we unveiled its final iteration, alongside the premiere of the dome version of Luna Somnium.

Both projects gained new resonance in this format: the dome creates a unique environment where the audience is fully immersed in the artwork, experiencing it as a true cinematic journey.

We look forward to exploring further opportunities with this distinctive and powerful medium.
