Selected as one of 5 international artists, I participated in LOOP Art Critique’s artist in residency with guest curator, Katherine Hintz. Five artists included myself worked for seven weeks putting together separate VR experiences all under the theme of digital identity, the digital body and connection through 3D environments. We helped curate the show, Corporeal Gestalt where we all performed in real time to an audience in virtual space. My piece being titled Corporeal Gestalt, I explored my own body in the safety of online space and it’s implacations outside of sexual context.

You, Watching Me, Watching You, Watching Us is a party about the edges of what it means to be sensed, measured and quantified by machines. Sensing machines are everywhere. As we move through the day, electronic sensors and computers adjust our thermostats, count our steps, change the orientation of an image when we rotate our phones there are more sensors in the world than there are people: in 2020, thirty to fifty billion of them (compared with 7.8 billion people), with more than a trillion expected in the next decade. What are the affordances and limitations of these trajectories when we add in the element of consent-based surveillance or slippery identity play.  


The Party Brief is a yearly grad level project in the Narrative Environments program at Central Saint Martins. Visiting fellows lecture and workshop with the students for two weeks in order to help produce this party, giving them a prompt, guidelines and guidance based on their expertise.

2071 is a speculative design piece meant to present a possible future of our society in which disease control and sustainable agriculture are emphasized in everyday life. This piece is comprised of three parts. The first being a narrative short film meant to act as propoganda for the world, a projection mapped dining table and a codec that showcases a family living in this world and their health ratings.

AI was a collaborator for the making of the narrative short film; A Meal for the Rest of your Life.” It was using as a previsualization tool and used to generated a narrator’s voice throughout the film.

Spur Time is a short film acting as an experimentation with transit time and hyper reality. With the very recent release of Apple’s Vision Pro at the time, I believe that we unlocked a new epoch that could lead to augmented reality being an integrated part of everyday life. This film was made during the Johnny Carson Center’s 72 Hour film festival hosted at ILM London. Spur Time came in at first place after showing to a panel of three judges; all who of which are innovators in the world of speculative design at Central Saint Martins.
