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.

Onirica () keeps touring more than two years after its premiere, proving the work still deeply resonates with audiences. This time, we are landing in two important European cities.

First, Onirica () will be presented at the Lost Art Festival in Berlin (Sept 12–14), hosted at Luxwerk. Its monumental industrial architecture provides a striking backdrop for the work, creating a compelling dialogue with the city’s hidden spaces.

Next, the work will travel to RADAR Festival in Bucharest (Oct 3–5), Romania’s largest festival of its kind. The presentation will take place at the iconic Casa Presei Libere, a landmark of the city.

We hope to see you at one of these dates 📡

Introducing Mimicry 🐞

Mimicry is our latest series, exploring speculative plant-insect hybrids conceived through AI as nature’s experimental strategies for survival.

The project is grounded in scientific research examining how climate change and human activity are rapidly transforming Earth’s biomes, and how hypothetical species might adapt to these shifts. By simulating potential evolutionary trajectories, Mimicry reflects on resilience, transformation, and new forms of coexistence, while revealing the intersections between natural and creative processes.

Drawing on Donna Haraway’s concept of “monsters,” Mimicry positions these hybrid beings as liminal figures that challenge anthropocentric perspectives and invite us to imagine alternative ecologies.

Mimicry will premiere at Light Art Museum in Budapest tomorrow, Sept 9th.

In Sál, the choreography, like all other elements of the performance, moves between moments of intensity and moments of calm, balancing the power of the visuals and the soundtrack. Each gesture has been designed to create balance with the other elements, creating a dynamic play of climaxes that continuously holds the audience’s attention.

In this fourth section of Sál, the choreography follows the same rhythm of the performance: it delicately flows ungraspable like air, mirroring the dissolution suggested by the visuals and sound. We witness an intimate connection between the two dancers, alongside the surrender of control as their bodies flow into one another.

Our collaboration with Marignana Arte began in 2022 with the solo exhibition "Herbario Novo" in the gallery’s project room. It was on that occasion that we presented for the first time printed works from the Artificial Botany series.

In the exhibition, the physical merges with the digital thanks to pieces belonging to both worlds: on the side walls, a series of prints depict botanical visions from the .morphos series. In particular, two belong to a specific starting dataset of autumn leaves - easily identified thanks to the bright, warm colours. On the front wall, the video Artificial Botany .flow II expands the dialogue between different mediums.
