About works / performance

My work encompasses sculptural installation, video projection, interactive art, light works, urban art and still images. Trained as a designer and practising as an artist, I have moved across media in works involving digital games, generative systems, artificial life, computer animation, installation, interactive media, synthetic images and sound.

Comment

My practice explores the connections between artificial systems such as language and natural processes abundant in life. My works use a model of digital media poetics to generate forms of human-computer expression often with a focus on nonverbal or audiovisual modes of communication.
