We create imaginaries of the present and future through digital narratives. Occupying the liminal realm between physical and digital, we seek to combine technological advancements with sensual qualities to activate a digital sensuousness.

*Award: Winner of the Biennale Award 2023. The Biennale prize is considered the biggest recognition of current Danish craft & design.
Step into The Liminal Eatery, a mixed reality installation. It explores the digital shift of our sensory encounters, as activities like dining, writing, and socialising evolve into online routines. Every element - from table to cutlery, seating to lamp - is made by 3D printing techniques. This fusion of additive manufacturing and multisensory elements prompts contemplation. How might we harmonise physicality and the digital? Can our surroundings and digital engagements truly enliven our senses? Take a seat, engage with a digital lifeform and spark a dialogue on the intersection of our senses, social existence, and technology.


Digital Indulgence





Year: 2023
Technique & Material: Quartz sand, paint, PLA, LCD Screen
Dimensions: 330 x 338 x 180 mm (blue), 254 x 256 x 284 mm (beige)
The centerpieces explores the relationship between our senses and technology. The 3D printed cake stands represents the tangible world. The plate is topped with digital cakes, representing the (in)tangible pleasure and abundance that technology promises. The piece invites viewers to consider how technology can be integrated to enhance, rather than replace, our sensory experiences. Digital Indulgence emphasizes the importance of our human senses in the digital age.

A 2022 census of ants puts the total population at twenty quadrillion – a twenty with fifteen zeros. That’s around two and a half million, give or take, for every human. These biomes, like cities, are networks of incredible sophistication.

A royal chamber, the prime cell of an ant colony in which a queen expends a life in continual creation, advocates for the notion of home as something more than four walls and a roof. Homes can be understood at manifold scales; they are around and within us. Our bodies, microbiomes of viruses, proteins, bacteria, archaea, and fungi, are one scale. The data-driven networks that we embed ourselves in and are dependent on, another. Earth is a home of a scale too challenging to comprehend in its rich and intertwined fullness. Between the visceral present, clear as mud, and the future – often clearer than we give it credit for – this project unfolds the idea of home as a multifaceted ecosystem.



If the cocoon of the caddisfly larva, the mound of an ant colony, and the beaver’s lodge are each a creation of creatures who modify their surroundings by design, then the aeroplane, the clock, and the internet are creations that similarly modify our surroundings in turn. From the simplest objects to the most sophisticated in our world, all technology – made by humanity or otherwise – is a part of nature. By way of sculpture, interactive installation, and visual media, Wang & Söderström investigate our relationship to digital and environmental development through an assembly of five works. Together they describe an entanglement of shifting power structures and perspectives in a rapidly changing ‘phygital’ world.

The ecology of technology, perhaps the most powerful force on our planet, calls for speculative perspectives that revaluate our role as custodians of something infinitely more intricate than ourselves. Royal Chambers posits an expanded idea of home, of care and connection from micro to macro, to shine light on a more integrated, nuanced notion of life and living.
