Portals is an ongoing interactive artwork that explores the possibilities of hologram projections using a hologram fan. By employing black and white shapes, this piece investigates optical illusions through basic geometry, achieving a minimalist visual aesthetic that captivates and intrigues.

Integrating sensors and physical computing, the artpiece can detect proximity and specific gestures, allowing viewers to interact with and manipulate the three-dimensional shapes rendered in real-time. This dynamic interplay transforms the installation into a living, responsive environment.

Visitors are invited to navigate a landscape of shifting geometries, discovering new perspectives and experiencing the seamless fusion of untangible interaction with holographic imagery. The project uses holograms to intentionaly investigate the blurred boundaries between: real and virtual, tangible and untangible, material and the immaterial.
