About Me

I am an artist, technologist, and storyteller working at the threshold between worlds—between the physical and the virtual, the subconscious and the systematized, the sacred and the speculative. My practice explores emerging forms of altered reality: virtual, augmented, immersive, and communal. At its core, my work is a search for meaning and memory in an age defined by simulation, signal, and surveillance.

I believe in technology not as a tool, but as a collaborator. Much of my work lives in conversation with machines—not to mimic human creativity, but to extend it. I’ve built systems that collect and remix human dreams (Dream Collection Agency), visualized four-dimensional tesseracts in virtual space (Quantum Tesseract), and helped develop emotionally responsive AI metaverses (Common-AI-Verse). I’ve used blockchain to archive grief (Memento Mori), volumetric capture to preserve performance (ODogg), and XR to amplify forgotten histories and imagined futures.

My current work investigates the concept of the posthuman ritual—how memory, mourning, joy, and embodiment are evolving as we merge with our machines. I see art as a prototype for society: a place to rehearse the impossible, to give form to grief, to model new worlds before they exist.
