Last Friday Series:
at SensUs Immersive Studio – Karlsruhe | XR Private Views
This Friday, 30.01.2026, 17:00–20:00, SensUs Immersive Studio in Karlsruhe opens for a Last Friday Showcase — a light open-studio visit and private-view evening, more like an artist salon than an event.

Free booking: RSVP: rasa@rixc.org or book a studio visit via Eventbrite:

The studio will be open to experience recent AR works on the SensUs Art platform (a NAIA & RIXC co-production), alongside immersive light-sensing explorations, including AI Herbarium (new here), Light Resonances (AR), and Solarceptors (VR), by artists Rasa Smite (who will be there to accompany visitors through the works) and Raitis Smits (joining online).

If you feel like going deeper, the artist is happy to share more about the artistic research, data analyses, remote sensing tools and other eco-technologies, and data translation in immersive technologies, and how collaborations with scientific researchers, creative programmers and other artists have evolved.

There are no presentations, no program, no pressure — only conversations if you wish. Time to look, experience, get together, and talk about art, science, data, climate, plants, ecology, natural and artificial intelligences, light, the electromagnetic spectrum, XR technologies, immersion, visualizations, aesthetics, and life.
