SYNC is a luminous monument to humanity’s enduring desire to explore the unknown.
Inspired by receptive instruments – satellite dishes, antennas, radars, and sonar systems – it reimagines a transmission station tuned to cosmic noise. This ground-based receiver remains in constant listening mode. Its giant disc-like form translates the signals into algorithmic patterns of light and sound, sweeping the darkness like a scanning beam. Emitting repetitive pulses and shifting frequencies, it radiates a calm, hypnotic aura. SYNC seeks contact – it’s an open channel of curiosity, wonder, and technological introspection. The installation debuted at Biennale Gliwice 2025, serving as a magnet at the local park for 10 days.
