From One to Another brings together two sonic installations exploring the material and sonic properties of inanimate matter, from stainless steel to limestone, in a duo exhibition hosted at KIT space. For this duo exhibition, An Amalgam Loop and FEED ME by Charlie Jansen are brought into direct conversation, their soundscapes exchanging and responding to one another. Two feedback loops of self-generated tone, one born from chemical mutation, the other from resonating metal, learning to answer each other's signal.

By providing a platform each year for emerging new media artists from Rotterdam and the surrounding area, The New Current opened the doors of the Hunter Douglas factory during Rotterdam Art Week 2026. An Amalgam Loop was invited to take part in the exhibition in a reimagined form, a new iteration that serves as a bridge to a future project.

An Amalgam Loop: Persistent State is a bridge iteration between two projects; a satellite apparatus that expands the discourse of activeness of inanimate matter towards the concept of memory and dissipation. Based on a simple Python program, the Persistent State module aims to capture ephemereal phenomena by creating a persistent state of data onto physical medium (CD-RW). Explore →

Amalgam Loop has been selected to participate in the 5th edition of the Murf/Murw Festival. Taking place in eight different locations throughout the centre of Tilburg, and bringing together musicians, performers and visual artists, Murf/Murw is a festival that reinterpret interdisciplinarity and experimental art as veichles of action (and reaction) to passive conformity.

An Amalgam Simulation is a simulation/music performance inspired by the taxonomical transcendence of limestone. Through the use of RNGs for generative music and fluid-particle physics simulations, An Amalgam Simulation explores autonomous processes in sound and image, by coupling them with the emergent properties of geologic matter.

In occasion of Milan Design Week ‘25, BASE has organized its fifth edition of the show We Will Design, under the theme Making Kin. By selecting 39 international emerging designers the exhibition rethink our bodies as shared, shifting states; knots within networks.
An Amalgam Loop and its narrative on the shifting states of matter has been invited to take part to the show by bringing a new collaboration with Cava Romana and Zenith C through the experimentation with Granitello di Aurisina stone.

As a result of the collaboration between Design Academy Eindhoven, UMPRUM, Elisava School of Design and Engeneering and Konstfack, Beyond (Design) Frontiers is an exhibition intended to display the state of contemporary design education in Europe; mapping its patterns, urgencies and showcasing a shared commitment between institutuions.
An Amalgam Loop has been one of the 16 projects selected for the exhibition.

An Amalgam Loop has been presented during DDW24 at Design Academy Graduation Show. Placed in the basement of Microtuin, the project have been displayed alongside with the artworks from Lili Harather and Piet Schmidt. Also the thesis publication An Amalgam Paradigm have been presented at Graduation Show 2024, at the bookstore run by Limestone Books.

During DDW24, geo.frames and Future Number Five, in collaboration with LAB-1 organised Melted Film Festival 2024. In occasion of this festival dedicated to experimentation with moving images [...] prima di dormire was selected to be screened on the last of the four nights organised.

An interdisciplinary cluster, a process of sedimentation, but also an aggregate with emergent properties - An Amalgam Paradigm is a publication that traces in the boundaries between disciplines the unearthed potential for new ways of understanding the world. In exposing a hierarchical system of understanding reality, the writing proposes a systemic and empathic vision to living and non-living entities.

By creating a self regulating system, An Amalgam Loop challanges the dichotomy between active and inert matter and brings the animacy of geologic entities between human perceptual thresholds. The project proposes a more empathic approach to inorganic matter challenging Western sciences analytical way of relating to it. Explore →

In the digital era, society's obsession with archiving data feeds a machine that transforms physical resources into digital memories. Landscape Transfer maps the metamorphosis of rare earths into virtual landscapes. Explore →

Transhabitat embodies a transformative exploration of the Venetian saltmarshes’ identity, aiming to establish a connection between human and ecological identity in order to evoke an ecosystem consciousness. Drawing upon the notion of the idol as a medium the project bridges the gap between the individual and the collective consciousness embodied by the saltmarshes. Explore →

[...] prima di dormire is the name of an (almost) imageless movie; a movie projected with closed eyes, like the ones before sleeping. Offering an extract of the daily life in the Venetian province, this subtitles movie is a brief introspective journey intended to leave space for mental images.

From+to the Lagoon is an open-ended project that aims to create a vocabulary of democratic design experiments that can promote small scale marshlands protection. The project investigates possible preservation practices through the use of reeds and simple techniques like tatching. Explore →
