I’m an artist and researcher working primarily with sound across music and art contexts. That is, I produce records, installations and play gigs. Over the last 10 years there has been a focus on sonifying data produced by surveillance tech and in general I’m interested in sound’s potential to engage with contemporary political contexts.
I’m also someone who feels conflicted about using social media - on the one hand I would happily not engage with it whatsoever but as an artist feel it’s necessary to have some visibility in these spaces. I tend to sporadically post about upcoming gigs or exhibitions and occasionally will share an article, usually about something happening in the tech space that I find particularly worrisome. In general I’m critical towards solutionism and feel won’t save us. However I am curious and hopeful for the potential of de-centralised platforms such as this and am extremely grateful to all the people whose energies go into developing alternatives to Big Tech and their increasingly centralised power and over-reach. Finally if you’ve got this far, thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts both based in research and from the heart. I look forward to following you back. <3
