The Oracle: Ritual for the Future (Experiment #3) became a huge success at Ars Electronica 2025.

‘Dimensions of Experience’: Victorine Van Alphen develops artistic method to analyze and create experiences at Lectoraat of The Netherlands Filmacademy/ Greenhouse Stipendium 2023/2024.
In and through artistic practice and experiment with diverse audiences and arts-students worldwide, a fluid model of ingredients or 'dimensions' of experience was conceived to better analyze and create experiences.
