My practice is a conjuration of my own identity (white /AMAB/ Nb-trans). My reflection revolves around queerness/non-binariness/transness in regard to technology, body signal sensors and translation into a coding environment. “A productive ambivalence about enlightenment conceptions of selfhood and deconstructs of the body/mind binary at its core”*¹.
My work is mostly inspired by black and non-black feminist and/or transgender science-fiction authors like Octavia Butler, Pamela Sargent and Bogi Takács.
I do locate my projects in a future queer heritage in which ideas of planetary exode, (soft) controlling devices, living-spaceship, become vessel for emancipation, mental health care and collective healing.
