acts of reciprocal augmentation.

weekend tension studies — the promise of expanded consciousness and capabilities, met with anxieties about forbidden knowledge and the dissolution of human exceptionalism.

rituals of recursive resistance.

can we live in a world where cognitive dissonance triggers curiosity and growth, instead of fear and compartmentalization? asking for a friend.

bodhisattva, silicon sinews, and the dance of a thousand hands. dreaming of future epochs, wondering if evolution itself could become an act of compassion toward future beings instead of a darwinian hunger game.

do electric sheep dream of organic pastures?

Speculations on a time after humanity, after AI and computing, in a world terraformed by algorithmic dictates and littered with the artifacts of memory.

IN THE FUTURE WE WILL HOLD WITH REVERENCE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR COMPUTERS CAME FROM THE GROUND.

like many others in our artistic sphere, thinking a lot about memory these days. is memory a sequence of events or how we were thinking as events were happening?

jam sessions, brute force methods. analog sketches for a soundtrack. #wip

‘But our thoughts do not travel to what we cannot see. The unseen for us does not exist.’ — Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS weekends along the fringes of existence. on micro and macro, and all the light we cannot see.

A few more days left to visit the AURORAE exhibition at Art Otel London. It’s been a lovely thing to present a scene from XENOGENESIS adapted for multi-channel, immersive scale. Thank you to CapitArtX x Prompt Magazine for the opportunity, space, and vision. xX

to assume infinite growth in a world of finite resources is the foundational fallacy of manifest destiny (and the american dream, at that). the paradigm of value and value distribution begs for a shift. @jessedamiani never disappoints👇

the sun hangs unnaturally still. i’ve walked for what feels like hours, yet its position remains fixed. perhaps time works differently here... or perhaps time is working perfectly, and i am what's different. _____ wip after light, after hours.

i don’t print often, but when i do i go heavy metal(lic paper).

meditations on manicured memories, landscapes of loss, and the residue of resistance. wip, march mood.

‘Dawn Chorus’ on view at kanvas Dubai until March 21, as part of AiVERSE. Many thanks to curators Esra Özkan, Isil Ezgi Celik, İrem Çoban of @CapitArt for the invitation. A single extruded moment in the creation of one future. An AI defragmentation of the fragmented memories in a posthuman world.

i swipe left, i swipe right, thinking i have a choice in the matter. but still, i wonder — who swipes me? ____ HANDLE WITH CARE | Right of Refusal | 2025 On view @hek_basel (virtual.hek.ch) as part of The Second Guess: Body Anxiety in the Age of AI.

Truly elated to release editions of my new video triptych, HANDLE WITH CARE, into the world this week. Have been heartened by the reception and am proud to be acquired by HeK Basel, the Medici Collection, and so many of the artists and collectors I love and admire. Verklempt. And all the things.

A delight to see my ‘Dawn Chorus’ sing to life in the gorgeous space at kanvas Dubai. Stop by the AiVERSE if you’re in town! Now until 21 MAR 🤍 Bringing together works created with the possibilities of AI, the exhibition presents multiple visions of the future while mirroring the curious present.

My art makes a stop at Aurorae — an immersive art exhibition — at Art’Otel London Hoxton next month with CapitArtX. Alongside Studio Above&Below, Lena Biresch, Beryl Bilici + more. Opening reception kicks off on 13 MAR. Drop by, London friends! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1251043989...

In the studio, getting ready to sign some limited edition art prints. Releasing exclusively at Glass Rice Gallery x Strip Mall in SF in March 🤍

HANDLE WITH CARE intimates the embodied language of cursory gesture on a touch screen interface, as seen through the eyes of AI. The video triptych interrogates the nature of how we interface with technology against the care with which AI systems process our bodily presence. On view at HeK Basel.
