  • The Bridge
    The Bridge is an AR/VR installation reflecting on Cairo’s rapid urban transformation and the loss of citizen agency. Inspired by Iain Banks’ The Bridge and Metropolis, it immerses viewers in a surreal cityscape of endless structures, contrasting official urban planning with informal, everyday interventions that make the city livable—yet are often overlooked.

  • An Augmented Revenge
    Performance of a song by LIENA augmented live with visuals and effects on stage. Augmented visuals primarily surround the performing artist and
    enhance the story by materializing the story and the artist's internal mental state complementing the song's lyrics.
