Since 2019, Nico and the Navigators and Yui Kawaguchi have been exploring the boundaries of reality and imagination, exploring the limits and possibilities of expanded perception with the AR_Loopmachine. The installation creates intermediate worlds – fragile landscapes in which reality appears to be renegotiated and dance, movement and digital projections enter into a timeless symbiosis. But soon, on 1 January 2025, this journey comes to an abrupt end: the security servers in the USA are switched off and the hardware (Magicleap 1 glasses) falls silent. What remains are traces that carry the work into the future, a digital afterglow that is present but no longer visible.

In a two-week installation, we bid farewell and invite you to reflect: How can artistic works and digital worlds endure independently of economic interests and technological change? How do we create digital archives that allow us a future beyond ephemeral hardware? The space between man and machine becomes a mirror of our own transience.
