Personal profile
Research Interests
I lead the research theme of AI and Algorithmic Cultures at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures. My research is on natural and computational systems, which I explore through both theory and practice. This includes AI, computational and systems thinking, pervasive technologies, physical computing, temporality and environmental sustainability. These are investigated through software and hardware development, exhibitions, events and performances, as well as academic and creative writing, drawing on my background combining anthropology, art and technology.
Current projects include Performing AI.
Biography
Before joining Coventry I launched and ran the Information Experience Design MA programme at the Royal College of Art in London from 2012-2019, and the Information Environments MRes programme at University of the Arts London in 2011-2012. I was a researcher at London Knowledge Lab from 2004-2010, and I have maintained an active artistic practice since 2000, these days working mainly in sound, moving image and drawing.
