Statement
My work is about possibilities — about finding ways for things to behave differently, connect differently, or become something unexpected. I work with algorithms, networks, language, interfaces and everyday systems, translating them into paintings, installations, sound works and participatory situations. I use rules and computational processes as materials, but also as starting points. I introduce chance, error, movement and human intervention, allowing a system to produce results that cannot be fully predicted. Language, data and physical space often become ingredients in these processes. A street name can trigger a text, a movement can become a composition, or a set of instructions can create a shared experience. I am interested in what happens when familiar systems are slightly shifted. My works invite people to enter these situations, take part in them and discover possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen.
