q-nuclear
Works that investigate nuclear technology as a cultural, ecological, and informational phenomenon rather than only as a political or military subject. The works approach nuclear energy through installations, films, maps, and conceptual systems that connect radiation, energy production, and planetary consequences.
q-works
A set of media-art works spanning installation, VR, data sculpture, environmental research, and audiovisual performance. Across different formats, the works examine how energy, data, matter, and environmental consequences intersect in contemporary technological culture.
q-dust
DUST VR is an environmental virtual reality work that visualizes and investigates the invisible world of urban particulate matter using real‑time global air quality data and immersive 3D environments to explore the intersection of environmental pollution, open data, and civic tech through a data‑driven VR experience.

ATOMSPHERE | 2025
Despite measurable environmental and radiological transformations, public discourse maintains the fiction of atmospheric continuity. Nuclear detonations, fallout events, and radiotoxic dispersion are excluded from most climate and energy models. The atomsphere remains unacknowledged in legal, ecological, and educational frameworks.
This omission constitutes a systemic epistemic failure. The atomsphere is not speculative: it is forensic.
