December 2020 – January 10th 2021 My ways of seeing have been cultivated via this constant exercise of filming my environment. Or more so – choosing aspects of my environment to film. My stance on photography is inviting the audience to the mindspace behind your eyes, to see. Iteration I: I juxtaposed audios and videos together,… Continue reading Pre-laborate: a recap

Given that it is nearly impossible to be comprehended my human brains, I should focus on the unknown, and subsequent… Continue reading Formulate : on Choosing the Text

Having my practice developed relatively independent from the Reading List materials, I appropriated my inquisitive approach to the subject matter to Perec’s Species of Spaces.

Therefore I would stage the hypothetical hunt, instead of running it live. The hunt consists of 3 puzzles and 4 layers, each puzzle leads to the following layer. LAYER I… Continue reading Investigate : crafting the outcome

They are: A moving collage, made from my gov.uk browsing experiences Exploring objects that testify the physical presence of gov.uk’s digital authority Dismantle the familiar visuals of gov.uk, by translating the content into… Continue reading Investigate : 27/10
