about

​

I am a visual artist with a research based practice, working critically across art and technology, in film and video, sculpture and sound, that often come together in multi-media installations. My work uses live data, game engines, Virtual Reality, CGI, and 3D model making to create environments in real life, in VR, and on-screen. I have an interest in the tensions to be found between code and language, with various textual productions coming of assemblages that often include humans, but also draw upon a broad ecology of different species, machine learning, AI and the planet, for inspiration and direction. My work is conceptually framed in ways that critique is articulated through it’s production, drawing out new behaviours emerging from human engagement with technology, through performative modes. Experimental writing/publishing methods and strategies, often drive the work, in both an on and offline context, as well as informing spoken word performance.

​

My work explores ways of living with complexity and uncertainty, drawing out interdependencies across finance, the environment, and ideological apparatus such as neoliberalism, from a critical xeno-feminist post-human position. I often explore and support collective modes of working with others from a de-centred human, multi-species perspective. I am interested in acknowledging, and thinking through the complexities of the subject emerging in synthesis with their environment, from a critical intersectional position. What that means is there is an emphasis on grasping something of the complexity of the multi-temporalities and scales, cross-species contaminations and alliances, necessary to confront the environmental challenges ahead - within an evolving awareness of power relations, which necessarily take into account colonial histories as well as neocolonial extractions of value.

I am also founder of Banner Repeater; a reading room with a public Archive of Artists’ Publishing and project space, opening up an experimental space for others, on a working train station platform at Hackney Downs station, London.  Ideas that come of publishing, distribution, and dissemination, that lead to a critical analysis of post-digital art production, are shared in my practice as an artist and inform the working remit of Banner Repeater. I developed the Digital Archive of Artists' Publishing (DAAP) with a team of people that gathered around Banner Repeater.

My work is included in Information edited by Sarah Cook (2016) - an art-historical reassessment of information-based art and exhibition curation, from 1960s conceptualism to current digital and network-based practices - Whitechapel Documents in Contemporary Art and MIT press series.  See here for more details: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/information.
