Audiovisual and Media artist with an interdisciplinary practice.


Currently based in South London, working with digital and analogue media, animation, music/sound design, video, photography and sometimes celluloid film. I develop projects in film-making, AV performance, installations, new media and video art.

I am working more and more with creating and manipulating data or working with ready made and found data sources. The manipulation, bias and control of data is a recurring theme in my work.

I have an exploratory process of connections, disappearing identities and contemporary concerns surrounding the merging of people and data in systems, filtered through emerging technologies. At the juncture of cinema, design and new media. As a media artist my work incorporates generative algorithms in real-time or rendered processes. The works can involve themes such as Climate change, chaos and disorder, AI, evolution and promotes critical thinking as a way of living.

I'm actively developing projects in "expanded cinema" which combines narrative abstractions of cinematic imagery and live performance. Recent works include Residencies and Audiovisual installations in Brno/Czechia, Chemnitz/Germany and Krakow at the 360 Gallery.

My practice continues to evolve with themes of impermanence, a collective experience of perpetual uncertainty and increasing anomalies from chaotic systems as a by-product of intersecting social technologies.
