Multimedia Artist

Artist Bio

I am an experimental multimedia artist and creative technologist currently based in New Haven, CT. My practice incorporates electronic media, from analog video and synthesizers to digital systems and code, as well as drawing, print, and liquids. I am especially interested in feedback loops, recursion, self-organizing and emergent structures, and patterns in nature.

I received an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts at Alfred University in 2020, and a BS in Visual Arts and Computer Science from Purchase College in 2014. I have shown work and performed at spaces and events such as Ambient Church (NYC), Eastern Bloc (Montréal), and Ann Arbor Film Festival (Michigan). I have done visiting artist talks and workshops at universities such as CalArts, NYU, and SAIC.

Available for Work

I'm currently in search of a new position in software development, IT, AV, and/or education. I'm based in New Haven, and I'm also often in NYC. Feel free to take a look at my resumé and get in touch!

Move Slow and Fix Things

As a practitioner of tech and electronic media, I try to counterbalance the cultural push towards compulsive productivity. I believe that technology should be used to enrich people's lives. Dopamine-draining corporate social media networks, invasive data harvesting, and short-sighted tech bubbles such as cryptocurrency and "artificial intelligence" all serve interests contrary to the long-term well-being of humans and our planet.

DIY websites, decentralized networks, and creative communities inspire me to seek another path. A path that moves at a human speed, with space to breathe. One that values careful cultivation over explosive growth, thoughtfulness over conformity.
