I work with Sculpture painting, video installation, and computer graphics. My installations and video pieces explore subjective experiences in relation to representations of organicity often with the use of technology. I’ve recently been researching the intertwining connections between technology, biology and mythology by forming hybrid objects, integrating artificial intelligence into sculptures or paintings or with immersive virtual spaces.

LIMBAL TUBES 2019, Interactive Installation, plaster, silicone 

This interactive piece follows a medieval Gryllus monster through a living world organism. As he ventures forward, he is made more and more aware of his bonds with the surrounding environment. The shapes and dialogues are inspired by medieval superstition and object oriented ontology, inviting the viewer to perceive the space as an autonomous obscure being.

SCHEMATA

This series consists of representations of various diagrams manually translated into virtual organic models, they are then textured to reveal their original forms. The resulting shapes are laid out as a divinatory haruspicy, a potential container for new meanings. 


I am interested in the ways we can create these liminal beings turning towards technologies as Mystical devices and the consequences on our relation to them.
