My research-oriented practice investigates contemporary ecologies through digital technology. I collaborate with scientists and researchers to stage eco-sensitive sonic performances, multimedia installations, and compositions with non-human subjects, such as plants, trees, molds, and bacteria. I seek to discover and present alternative modes of relating to the world around us- acoustically, visually, and ontologically. I work through the notion that by subverting technology and turning it against dominant capitalistic subjectivities- I can generate mutant modes of being and becoming, attuned for our contemporary, environmentally crumbling world, a task that I argue is absolutely vital in reestablishing balance between humanity and the natural world.
