I am a photographer, media artist and educator who works at the intersection of image-based 3D reconstruction and digital fabrication, exploring how emerging technologies influence the production and preservation of form.
My work combines artistic research into digital heritage with a praxis-based investigation of art-making in post-human and automated systems. Using photography, rapid-prototyping and algorithmic processes, I examine how memory, material, and authorship are redefined through synthetic workflows.
I currently work at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar as a lecturer and artistic research associate.
