MFA Arts Practice in Digital Art; Art and Art History Department

sound design, but my projects often include interactivity across the audiovisual spectrum, particularly relating to our experience as digitally augmented selves –part body, part cloud. I’m curious about utilizing technology as a restorative practice and all the complexity that inevitably follows that curiosity. I enjoy the collaborative process of bringing these ideas to life and crafting speculative worlds with other artists and creators. Reach out when you need help with the spatial and interactive audio or projection-mapping capabilities of B2.

Find me in B2 on Tuesdays from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm.

Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance PhD

Interfacing motion capture with spatial sound, video projection, visualization, and intelligent lighting. The concept of sympoiesis or “making-with.” How to employ compromise and submission as active modes of collaboration with human and non-human actors to “plate” artistic work in the Black Box. How movement functions as materiality that generates complexity, creativity, and cognition.
