The installation "Dodecahedron" uses the physical structure of a platonic solid to constitute the environment for an immersive audiovisual installation. This installation serves as platform to present several generative artworks and compositions. The artworks highlight a conceptual and aesthetic proximity between the platonic notion of a perfect immaterial world and the generative approach of transforming simulation-based abstractions into perceivable objects.
