I am an interactive media artist interested in the role of hybrid digital-physical systems in creating evocative experiences. My work shifts between fine arts and engineering, allowing them to blend together and inform each other. The conceptual framework of my artworks expresses the themes of anonymity, agency, complex systems, playfulness and curiosity. Using custom software, digital fabrication tools and processes, recorded and real-time video I aim to bridge the ever-increasing gap between the intangible digital and tactile physical objects.

However, simulating a realistic representation of a place is one of many ways to visualize it. I endeavor to find ways to create the essence of being in Roden Crater in a Virtual Reality. As such, I will be actively researching the following:
