In a world where technology is always evolving towards perfecting reality-- faster speeds, thinner displays, higher pixel count, and complete immersion, in my practice I strive to embrace technology for its ability to create meaningful experiences regardless of its efficiency or supposed technical worth. Still, I have always been fascinated with the intersection of the digital and real world, so instead of reproducing reality in my work, I choose to bend it and stretch it to add underlying and overlying, often surreal, narratives to otherwise familiar scenes. On the other hand, I also have a penchant for recreating the fictional and digital in reality. So, similarly to the projects I have worked on in the past several years--spanning board game design and video game development to interactive physical computing-based installations, my current focus is now on warping reality through mixed reality and virtual reality technologies.
