UX looks at the illusion of control and the shaping of personal and cultural identity in the age of algorithm-determined behavior. In this collaborative work, objects and sculptures are connected to movement sensors and motors, and react to the movement of visitors of the gallery space. With the continuous, eerie sound of the motors, what is created is an environment that is all-encompassing and overwhelming. UX turns the abstract digital space into a physical experience, thus making tangible connections between shadow algorithms and real world implications.
