What is Pending Xenophora?
Pending Xenophora is a mixed-reality artwork situated inside an inflatable structure designed in collaboration with snails. The installation consists of multiple components which can be altered, reassembled, broken up into single artworks, or simplified. Currently installed at Mediamatic in Sluisdeurenlood, it is open for visitors to explore and visit by booking a slot. More information about the project is available on this page.
