Vita
In my artistic research, I work in the space between digital and analog, organic and plastic. I am interested in how these worlds mix, and how technology is growing so fast that it starts to feel like part of our nature. I learned most of my skills from the internet: programming, 3D tools, and building things by watching DIY videos. There is almost a tutorial for everything online. This way of learning shaped how I work. I do not separate thinking from making. I try, fail, fix, and try again. Being an artist today, especially working with new media, feels like a constant process of DIY expressions. We build our own tools, teach ourselves, and adapt as we go. For me, these DIY expressions reflect the time we live in and the way art is made today.
