I'm a creative technologist and designer working at the intersection of art, science, and emerging technologies. I create immersive experiences—through interactive installations, generative design, and bioart—that invite audiences to engage with the unseen and reimagine how they perceive the world around them.

The Void

Year: 2025
Role: Direction and Technical Development
Medium: Interactive Installation (real-time webcam manipulation, openFrameworks)
Exhibition: Showcased at Grace Exhibition Space for Cult of Consumption: Salvation with PixelMouth Collective.

Overview
An interactive exploration of digital identity and revealing how constant self-curation distorts authenticity, exposing a feedback loop where identity becomes shaped by the systems mediating it.

Labels like “Soul Decay” and “Hollow Salvation” critique consumerism's parasitic nature, suggesting that while we surrender our souls, we remain trapped in a self-perpetuating cycle that we eagerly return to.

How do digital environments distort our sense of self, and what does it mean to curate identity in a world shaped by constant technological mediation?

Technical Execution
Built using openFrameworks, the piece manipulates real-time webcam input to distort the viewer’s reflection. As participants engage, their image degrades into layered afterimages, symbolizing the recursive cycle of self-curation and reinvention.
