About

Get to know me better

In a world of constant noise and chaos, I find solace in the serene and tranquil. My art reflects this sense of calm, but with a vibrancy that cannot be ignored. My work is light and polite, a gentle reminder to pause and appreciate the beauty in the world around us.

As an artist, I am constantly exploring new mediums and techniques, diving fearlessly into the ocean of new media that surrounds us. Yet, I also draw inspiration from the tried and true practices of the past. I believe that there is a certain magic to be found in the classics, and I strive to incorporate these time-honored techniques into my work.

  • Last Friday (Sept 26) I took part in Researchers’ Night by Ericsson with two of my projects. 🌙✨

One of them was “Shadow Door” — an interactive installation built with a motion sensor, Raspberry Pi, and a bit of Python. 🚪💻 When someone walked by, the door opened and friendly monsters greeted kids in different languages. 🌍👾

It was amazing to see how curious and playful the kids were around the installation — their reactions made the whole experience unforgettable. 💡💫

  • 🌙 I get to sneak out and test my interactive installation for Ericsson Researchers’ Night on September 26 at Ericsson House. 🚪✨ When the kids are finally asleep… 

This little door comes to life when it senses movement — opening up to reveal a friendly monster who’s always ready to say hi 👋🪄. Can’t wait to share it with everyone at the event! 💡💙 #ResearchersNight #Ericsson #InteractiveArt #BehindTheScenes #friendly #monsters #interactive #interactiveinstallation #cat #catlife #catlove#mom #motherhood #motherintechnology #motherinarts
  • Earlier, I shared that I was selected through an open call to create an installation for the revitalization of the S1 complex — a historic brewery site in Budapest, brought back to life by Kama Rave.

I’m excited to finally share the result: NO/VOC — an ambient light and sound installation inspired by Plato’s cave, exploring perception, memory, and illusion.

🎥 Here’s a short video of the process and the final piece.

  • Big news — my concept for an interactive installation has been selected for an art competition taking place during a rave in an abandoned factory in Budapest.

This week, we visited the venue and explored the space together with the organizers, who bring a great energy and vision to the project.

The attic I’m pointing to in the video will be the space for my installation. Right next to it, there will be a live drawing session and a cozy zone with beanbags for the audience to relax and reflect.

The installation is interactive and may even organically shift into a performance — which I find exciting and very much in the spirit of the environment.

More soon as the process unfolds.

  • Yesterday at the @agoracommunity.hu , we shared a small part of our world — artworks, books, and a quiet interactive AI workshop with @mashakamenetskaya and the @panel_litmag .
The atmosphere felt warm and genuine. It was touching to see people take time to engage, to ask, to listen — and to carry a piece of our work home with them.
The hours passed almost unnoticed.
Looking forward to future gatherings, new conversations, and the quiet connections that art creates.

  • Just outside of Budapest lies the charming town of Szentendre—a place where art lives in every corner. With its streets, galleries at every turn, and a creative spirit that spills out of cafés and studios, it feels less like a town and more like stepping into a living, breathing art collective.

We spent the day sipping tea in a cozy bookstore, playing board games in a café-gallery, and—true to tradition—“accidentally” found ourselves back at our favorite underground space: @vajdalajosstudio There, we met the director, who’s also the artist behind a powerful new anti-war exhibition opening that very evening.

Now, inspired and energized, we’re starting work on a new chapter for our book: Narratives of Hungary.
