Jakub Bartos (artist name: LACIDRE) is a digital artist, music producer, and sound designer whose practice moves between immersive installations, sculptural forms, and electronic music. His work combines physical monuments and material experimentation with advanced technologies, weaving together sound, light, and interactive systems. Across projects he explores recurring themes such as digital identity, the dialogue between human and machine, sonification of data, and the limits of human perception. By merging sculptural presence with technological processes, Bartos creates poetic environments that invite audiences to reflect on the futures we imagine and the realities we inhabit.
What is this place? combines interactive technology, sound design and sculptural form to explore how machines mediate presence, identity and imagination. It reflects on ideas of techno-spirituality, digital dispersion and the boundaries between realities. The work positions technology not only as a tool, but as a ritualistic guide. A device that invites us to step between worlds.
