We were honored to present Radix, our augmented projection sculpture, at the Goethe-Institut Tokyo as part of this year’s Japan MeCA Festival. Representing Xenorama, Richard Oeckel and I (Moritz Richartz) showcased the project within a program that brought together pioneering works in media art and technology.
Radix exemplifies our continuing exploration of organic sculpture mapping and interactive projection systems, blending generative visuals with spatially embedded surfaces. Its presence at MeCA underscored the growing global dialogue around innovation in media art and design, particularly in the context of hybrid physical-digital environments.
We are grateful to the Goethe-Institut and the festival team for their support and for facilitating such a rich platform for artistic exchange.

Curated within a program focused on experimental media practices from Germany and Japan, the presentation of Radix at the Institut framed our work in dialogue with a diverse field of contemporary media artists. Positioned in the architectural clarity of the exhibition space, the piece took on a new resonance: its organic surface geometry became a canvas for generative light, in constant negotiation with the physical boundaries of the room.
Throughout the festival, Radix invited viewers into a meditative interplay of motion, form, and shadow. Many visitors engaged not just with the projected visuals, but with the object itself — moving around it, interacting with it, and perceiving how light transformed it from different angles. This spatial awareness is central to our interest in augmented stage design and interactive mapping, where audience movement becomes part of the visual system.
