LAB

A lab unafraid of failure.

An experimental creative research space where new ideas are born.
We push the limits of what's possible with prototypes and open-source code.

Somi Lab

A lab unafraid of failure.

Methodology
Open Source Culture

FLOSS

A creative pipeline based on Free Software philosophy. Experimenting with modular workflows in a Linux environment.

Prototype / Collection
Mobile Media Architecture

GRID

Breaking free from fixed canvases, art seeks out its audience. GRID is a modular architecture for mobile interactive art, and a collection of digital experiments unfolding upon it.

Prototype / Tool
Interactive Soundscape

LIVE|WIRE

Sound becomes light, the stage a canvas. LIVE|WIRE is a real-time sound visualizer empowering performers to orchestrate their own visual backdrop, transforming intimate stages into immersive synesthetic spaces.

R&D / Campaign
Ecological Monitoring

Helloo

Data-driven scenography for coexisting with the wild. Tracking the movements of birdhouses and stray cats to visualize invisible ecological rhythms. Going beyond mere observation, it is a scientific yet poetic practice proposing better habitats for non-human beings.

Hardware / Community
Open Source Hardware

ARCRIX

Alchemy of sound in everyone's hands. A project exploring the essence of analog sound through open source and open hardware. ARCRIX is a technical sanctuary where anyone can sculpt their own audio instruments, and an auditory experiment unfolding on circuits.

Installation / Series
Everyday Physics Art

BARAM

A poetic experiment sublimating the physicality of the everyday into art. BARAM captures the potential of technology and art within ordinary objects. By assigning new context to familiar landscapes, it proves that our daily life is, in fact, the grandest canvas.

Social Design
AI & Eco-Architecture

The Reflex

A project that protects life by reinterpreting the city's 'Reflex'. AI predicts birds' flight paths and collision risks, and lets the glass send visual signals on its own. A technical solution and a work of social art in which transparent walls become interfaces that communicate with living things.

R&D / Installation
Bio-Interaction Research

WOSS/MOSS

A close observation project researching the coexistence of plants and humans. Expressing the microscopic world of moss and plants through scientific and artistic lenses.

Product / Education
Bio-Interaction Research

OpenFarm

An educational smart farm kit that follows the national standard for smart farm data. Learn future agricultural technology through an environment control platform identical to those used on real farms.
