A Trip to the Amazon
Train Theatre Festival, 2022, JLM, IL
A 2-channel sound installation for kids (and their parents) by Yifeat Ziv.
A listening journey in repose. Jump into the mesmerizing soundscapes of the Amazon rainforest. Spectacular choruses of exotic birds, roars of howler monkeys and ear-tickling hums of cicadas - are just some of what you will hear there. You can also affect the future of the Amazon rainforest by helping more rain to fall - all you need to do is lie on your back, close your eyes, open your ears as wide as you can and...sing a special rain song!

the platform enabled the user to set the following parameters to customize their furniture piece:
Length, Width, Height, Adding shelves, 3D Orbiting and order execution.

'Singing of Ascents'
An Audio-Visual Site-Specific Ceremony at the Planetarium
Eretz Israel Museum | 2017, TLV, IL
The Brody Synagogue, Odessa, 1910.
Every Saturday, a large and diverse crowd filled the sanctuary of the elegant Brody synagogue – observant and secular Jews, and even their non-Jewish neighbours - to hear the beautiful singing of the synagogue choir led by Cantors Pinchas Minkowski and Yossele Rosenblatt and organist David Novakowski.
The Sabbath performance is the highlight of the week for the assembled. A moment when dreams are dreamed, intentions are clarified, desires become clear and the yearning for the return to Zion feels more tangible and lasting than ever. A moment in which music, emotion and spirituality merge into one place and time.
"Singing of Ascents" is an original composition, an audio-visual site-specific work, inspired by that moment.
For one evening, the Eretz-Israel Museum Planetarium was transformed from a place of interstellar exploration into a sacred sanctuary, a new galaxy where audiences embarked on a personal journey to examine faith, yearning and wonder.

'The Human Parameter'
By Ionatan Lazovsky
ZEZEZE Gallery | 2015, TLV, IL
The exhibition 'The human parameter' is designed to examine the current state of architecture and parametric design in Israel, focusing on a series of works by Israeli architects working in Israel, alongside the works of Israeli architects working abroad.
The exhibition tries to present the subject of parametric design in all its forms and manifestations in the local and global context of the fields of architecture and design, in a variety of layers, ranging from the way Israeli architects cope with and integrate this thinking and medium into their work alongside "Israeli" examples from abroad.
