My practice explores walking, modes of seeing, and narrative, with a particular focus on how AI-generated narratives mediate our understanding of images, space, and reality. Through installation, moving image, text, and participatory structures, I investigate seeing not as a passive act of reception, but as a process continuously shaped by technology, language, and memory.

I approach artificial intelligence as a narrative device rather than simply a creative tool. By incorporating prediction, misinterpretation, and generative processes, my work examines how meaning is constructed and how people make sense of uncertainty. In recent projects, I have drawn upon pseudoscientific discourses surrounding “visual fatigue” to mimic the production and circulation of authoritative knowledge, questioning why seemingly plausible yet unsubstantiated explanations can be so readily accepted, and how images, texts, and technologies collectively influence perception and judgement.

Working across installation, moving image, sound, and text, I seek to create connections between embodied experience and technological mediation, exploring the relationships between perception, memory, ecology, and everyday space.
