I am an artistāresearcher working at the intersection of aesthetics and computation, exploring themes of memory, play, cuteness, and ritual. My practice moves in two directions across the boundary between human and machine.
In my performances, I translates the body into machine-readable form. Using motion capture and biometric data, I record movement, interaction, and bodily response, asking what is preserved (and what is lost) when embodied experience is rendered as data.
In my sculptures, that exchange reverses: animatronic objects (a grain of rice, a shrimp, a tooth, a doll) are built to perform vulnerability, violence, and intimacy without a human body driving them, staging what could be called object performance.
Together, these two bodies of work treat "the human" as something that can be extracted into, or conjured out of, a machine: this instability investigates memory (personal and intergenerational) through narratives that interweave the virtual and physical.
