Entwined Paths explores the extension of the human body through technology, transforming the technological body into an active participant in shaping dynamic environments. By merging movement with environmental responsiveness, the installation creates a feedback loop where human presence and interaction drive structural transformations. The result is an evolving interplay between body, space, and technology through structural deformation, blurring the boundaries between participant and environment to craft adaptive, living experiences.
