Electronic components used in robotics, kite string, live performance, video

I explore contracts between people, and enjoy collaborating, especially with unwitting participants. Through such collaborative experiments, I generate videos, performances, objects and situations that try to unravel what it means for people to be human, together. Lately, technology (from crude phones to synthetic biology) has challenged what it means to be human on a fundamental level. Somehow there is an element of ventriloquism or puppetry that occurs as we associate with this technology. I enjoy exaggerating this phenomenon, giving our external techno-social identities agency and voice, watching what happens when they get out of control.
