DRAWING: Mappings of A Lover - MPL Series...
Mappings of A Lover (MPL): This series of hand-drawings is a continuation of past projects which investigated both the technical and given information to devise an aesthetic value to “information”, more importantly to the development of “a given set of information” (aka: constraint), and redefining the points which are translated through the interaction of a constraint.

INSTALLATION: GEO-COGNITION (2012)
*Note: Shadows produce Cityscape
GEO-COGNITION is based on the geometric concepts of projective geometry (duality principal) and the convergence theory, and the fusion of the four main geographic locations that had the most significant impact within the artist’s career and life.
The supervening confluences, which occur through transitional developments between the cities, are formalized by...

INSTALLATION: Total Internal Reflection (2010)
The “critical angle” or Total internal reflection is an optical phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface. If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary, no light can pass through and all of the light is reflected.
CRITICAL ANGLE:
The...

INSTALLATION: Athens Fringe Festival 2009 -...
CONCEPT: The ongoing mediation between the ever proliferating networks and the international boundary of maps has mediated the collective media of transportation as an additive mean of responding to the possibility of generating community and diversified understanding of visualization through understanding scale and media. This installation of the hanging Attiko Metro tickets are to show the...

INSTALLATION: UNBUILT | ATHENS Mapping...
CONCEPT:
Today, a concern of sensorial experiences has permeated various fields, from sensory marketing—purveying the experience economy—to the practice of multi-sensory design and the crucial investigation of artists. Much of contemporary architecture shares this renewed interest in a sensorial environment that extends beyond the purely visual realm. Therefore, the conference paper...

INSTALLATION: La Machine à écrire (2008)
Produced through the likes of a type-writer, the hypothetical Turing Machine, and/or player-piano this performative installation critically explores the technologies of the analogue and the digital—while juxtaposing music through mechanical recital.
This piece is based on a pneumatic mechanism within a feedback loop which examines whether the artist is controlled by the music, or rather...

INSTALLATION: Dualism in America (2005)
Culture surrounds the areas that create scale and urbanity. The installation proposal for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum [the only National Historically Preserved Tenement Building in the United States] was Wendy W Fok’s first commissioned installation in New York City, as the solo commissioned artist in the highly selective competition for one of the two annual exhibitions for the museum,...
