Exploring Ways to Create Beautiful Experiences
This interactive artwork was created to experiment with the idea of creating an interactive dance environment. For its development, I used C++ and Open Framework. The exhibition was held at ATS Flex Space, Chicago, Illinois, in 2017.

Leveraging UNHCR 2016 data, I visually represented the current locations of displaced populations on the map. This project was featured in the 44th issue of the Antenna Journal.
