I am a designer and artist interested in how we conceive, visualise and (mis)understand complex systems. My primary research revolves around abstractions of real-world systems, and how system models affect the very behaviours and decision making processes they are simply intended to observe or predict.
In examining existing systems and revealing their hidden ideological biases and underlying irrationalities, I seek to link the implicit values of our current socio-political systems to the technologies used.
