Biography

I am currently Senior Lecturer in Computational Arts & Technology. My research interests include digital art, appropriation-based art practices, emerging technologies in relation to contemporary art (specifically AI and blockchain), theories of cultural ownership and intellectual property, and various aspects of experimental video game culture.

I was co-curator of the Toronto-based Vector Festival from 2014 to 2020, and frequently collaborate with curators/artists/activists on curatorial projects.

After many years of living in Vienna, Toronto, and London, I'm glad to have landed in Dundee, with its exciting diversity of digital creative practitioners, and its beautiful surroundings perfect for cycling and hiking – two of my favorite things to do.

I also serve as external supervisor on several PhD projects at other universities. Email me with your inquiry if you'd like to draw on my expertise in this capacity.
