As an intermedia artist and creative technologist, I have worked for a variety of different institutions, companies, agencies, individuals and organisations.

Influenced by fields including cybernetics, artificial intelligence and science fiction, the resultant works are often realised by exploiting a technology's perceived failings in order to expose otherwise hidden content, or to generate initially indeterminate output that can be used as a foundation for further research and exploration. I am currently a research fellow based at the University of Nottingham's Mixed Reality Laboratory.
