Our species continuously remakes its environment, leaving altered landforms in its wake, even long after it has moved on. My work skirts the edges of the human and post-human city, tracing the phantom contours of this penultimate decade.
Based in Brooklyn. Neuroscience background, recent graduate of the Integrated Media Arts MFA at Hunter College. Operated a lab, documented the DIY music scene, curated multiple film festivals. Recent work has shown at Ji.hlava, Alchemy, Antimatter [media art], Prismatic Ground, Cosmic Rays, DocNYC, Brainwash, Rockaway Film Festival, Copenhagen Architecture Festival, and Imagine Science. Installations have been presented with the Queens Museum, the Staten Island Museum, Old Stone House, the Seaport Museum, Flux Factory, Works on Water, and Radiator Gallery.
