Where do I exist?

Where Do I Exist? unfolds as a virtual room where neon signage, dense floral walls and an ambiguous humanoid form meet in saturated pink and purple light. The welcome text WELCOME TO PARADISE hangs above a threshold while organic surfaces and an almost-sculptural figure occupy the space, their textures and reflections dissolving boundaries between skin and material. The composition uses color and form to stage an environment that feels both intimate and artificially constructed.
This interactive installation is realised as a real-time 3D environment. Generative geometry and shader-driven surfaces produce foliage-like structures and mutable textures, while lighting becomes a material that sculpts presence. Human presence appears either as a mirrored or transformed avatar within the scene or as remote contributions fed into the piece. Participation is hybrid: visitors present in the venue can recognise themselves inside the virtual composition, and anyone online can join by posting the hashtag #immaterial on Twitter, which functions as a connective thread between physical visitors and dispersed participants.
The project emerges from pandemic-era social behaviour and the increasing mediation of life through social platforms. It asks whether freedom from the body might mean freedom from the expectations tied to gender identity, from the meaning of touch, or from the finality of death. Created by Sousana Romanidou with input and supervision by Konstantinos Tiligadis as a postgraduate diploma work during 2020-2021, the installation operates as both a visual experiment and a reflective prompt about what it means to exist when existence can be rendered as code.
