Cloud Tower is an immersive XR work that transforms an octagonal ancient tower into a cognitive ascent. Visitors spiral from its base to its summit, with each step corresponding to a layer in the understanding of a visual-geometric neural-network model. The journey takes place within a complete, finely rendered point-cloud city: a technical black box becomes an embodied path of exploration.

Rather than requiring specialised tools or prior technical knowledge, the work invites visitors to approach the logic of contemporary computational art through walking, looking, and moving upward through space. The tower frames technical understanding as something that can be encountered bodily and intuitively, lowering the distance between audiences and emerging artistic technologies.
