Research and collaborations

Technology as subject, system, and creative partner.

My research connects surveillance, propaganda, machine vision, generative media, and human-machine co-authorship. It develops through physical installations, traditional studio practice, moving image, software, sound, and browser-based works rather than through one medium or one project alone.

Research lenses
01

Synthetic archives and parafiction

How can institutional tone, documentary form, and material evidence make invented histories temporarily believable?

02

Machine vision and operational images

What changes when images are produced for systems that detect, classify, target, and act?

03

Propaganda and psychological influence

How do technologies presented as safety, convenience, or communication normalize surveillance and behavioural control?

04

Human-machine collaboration

How do authorship, embodiment, responsibility, and creative agency change when human intention meets probabilistic systems?

Methods

Practice-based inquiry across art, theory, and technical construction.

Research takes form through objects, installations, writing, software prototypes, moving image, sound, and sustained collaboration.

The theoretical field includes parafiction, simulation, propaganda studies, psychological warfare, machine vision, media archaeology, automatism, and posthuman accounts of collaborative agency.
