My first-ever journal article is now published!
It's about the Data Poets, a project I've worked on since 2019, and revisited in 2024 as an interactive website.

I recontextualise the project and discuss its implications, given the potential presence of AI in urban spaces.

The proceedings for @xcoax.org 2025 are now online!
I'll share my thoughts on the event later, but I felt it was a super inspiring event and I enjoyed the mix of creatives/academics/tech folk.

Proceedings: doi.org/10.34626/202...
Some writing about the artwork I exhibited: doi.org/10.34626/202...

Some recent and slightly corny watercolour studies.

First time ever presenting at an academic symposium in French!

In Metz, I took part in the "performance oraculaire" study day, where I presented reflections on my thesis and practice interventions.

Merci à Marie-Aimée Lebreton et Eugénie Péron-Douté pour avoir organisé cette journée d'étude !

I just updated my 2023 fortune-telling experiment with OpenAI's newly released "voices", which you can prompt with "stage directions" - they are much more accurate (I think), although very American sounding. Going to a symposium on voice soon so would appreciate opinions!

Last summer, I began work on a commission with AIxDESIGN.
Today, I'm keen to release BIRD: Bird Informed Remote Divination. BIRD explores collaborative meaning-making and practices of knowledge generation. 🪶🔮🪿
