My work eludes single descriptors. Video artist, film maker, visual and sound designer, I work at the intersection of electronic media and the use of digital technologies to explore alternative inter relations of visual cultures, digital realities, myth and fiction. I work with emerging technologies and new media exploring miscellaneous themes via experimental and narrative cinema, installation and various territories in deconstructed ambient and experimental electronic music. My work engages with technology both as a medium and theme, challenging and addressing materiality, immateriality, artificial reality and post-production, addressing expressions of the unreal as an emerging reality.
