As an artist I like my work to visually represent how I process the world. Taking in various forms of information and looking for physical points to hold onto. I am a photographer who makes information art. Working at the intersection of data, information, and imagery, my work explores the evolving relationship between identity and technology in the digital age. Photography, for me, transcends mere visual documentation; it is a narrative of personal encounters, a reflection of how each experience reshapes our sense of self. In today’s hyper-connected world, the information we absorb and interact with becomes a vital part of our identity, altering our perception and leaving an indelible virtual imprint—a digital DNA.
My artistic process involves embedding various forms of data directly into the code of a photograph, transforming it into a living canvas that reflects the inherent distortions of our existence. This technique, known as "glitching," is a manifestation of the physical and conceptual corruption of data, where the image becomes a tangible representation of the chaotic, unpredictable nature of our interaction with technology. By merging sound, text, and visual data, I create a layered narrative that challenges the viewer to reconsider the authenticity and stability of the digital images that saturate our lives.
I am drawn to this process because of its inherent unpredictability. Much like abstract painters who surrender control to the flow of paint, I relinquish a degree of authority to technology, allowing it to dictate the final outcome. This collaboration between artist and machine generates a visual language that is both personal and universal, mirroring the fragmented and dynamic way we experience the world through screens. I seek to provoke reflection on how technology shapes our identity, perception, and the very nature of reality in a constantly shifting digital landscape. I enjoy the process of photography and working with the language of information because to me it makes sense, visualising the structure of how the code works together and when it doesn’t fit it just won’t work, bringing together predictability and beauty through art.
