Studio Above&Below is an award-winning art and technology practice founded by Daria Jelonek (DE) and Perry-James Sugden (UK) after graduating from the Royal College of Art. Grounded in research-based methodologies, their work bridges the gaps between humans, machines, and our umwelt, exploring how media art can foster more meditative, healing, and sustainable interactions with our surroundings.
Since its founding in 2018, the duo has specialised in creating immersive artworks that combine Mixed Realities (XR), digital art, and data systems to make invisible phenomena tangible, challenging predetermined technological structures. Their large-scale public artworks integrate advanced technologies, such as real-time environmental data and meditative scenography, to give our umwelt a voice and reveal the unseen.
