The challenge was to find a way to capture the sublime character of the Graubünden landscape and the fascinating buildings of the railway line. The final 3D visualisation is based on the real elevation model of the Alpine region, the railway line follows its original route and the viaducts are recreated according to their authentic construction plans.

"BÊTA" is a proposal for a digital extension of the Museum of Ancient Art in Basel, designed to bridge the gap between the ancient world and the present. A key feature is an Augmented Reality (AR) web app that allows visitors to explore the exhibitions interactively by blending digital elements with the physical space of the museum.
The project was presented to the museum's management as part of a pitch to modernise the museum through digital development.
Collaboration: Mégane Hilpertshauser, Valentina Scheiwiller, Margeritha D'Ugo

The title refers to the combination of spatial sound perception (stereo) and visual effects (scopes) recalling the changing patterns of a kaleidoscope. In the installation, these elements were combined by projecting visuals onto different surfaces of the space that responded to music and sound. The result is a fluid and constantly evolving performance.
The project was developed and displayed during a studio residency at the Sitterwerk in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
