Experiments in art, connection, and technology
I'm many things, including an artist and cultural producer. Yes, it's hard to pin me down. I'd stop trying if I were you. These days, I express my creativity through words (poems, essays), pixels (photography), code (net art) or the making of meaning in public (resources and gatherings).
My practice is in constant transformation, and so is this page. I'd love to take it in more playful directions in the future. For the moment, it's an archive of creative projects and experiments I've run between 2015 and today.
If you are interested in an artistic collaboration, feel free to send me a quick message. I will never say no to sharing new ideas and meeting people who are passionate about what they do.
