• I try to make complicated things simpler with art. Some ways I have done this are by designing alternative sensory experiences for information, like turning social media data into perfume with artificial intelligence, and using minute-to-minute molecular changes in air quality to compose slow music. I hope that prompting interaction with synthesised data–embodied in familiar forms–might make digital technology more accessible and help promote agency in an increasingly complex world.
