Adventures in drone evolution, as explored through an unconventional volumetric format. Designed and coded by the author, and developed collaboratively with the team affiliated with the Cambridge Centre…
Nephoscope is an up-coming digital work that meditates on the intersection of AI technologies, the infrastructural and metaphorical clouds behind them, and the more-than-human forces shaping our contemporary…
Can the act of gliding also perform as an act of writing? The sweeping movements of a glider aircraft through the sky already create circular traces in GPS…
Beware Blue Skies is a short film, originally featured in an installation at the Imperial War Museum, London, seeking to curate an immersive experience that thoughtfully interrogates the…
Agentia is a work of navigable, generative poetry, examining the unfolding of the world through the encounters of animals, plants, and even objects. It is part walking-simulator, part-hypertext…
Algorithmic Light emerged from an enquiry into how technologies of artificial intelligence (defined broadly to encompass many diverse systems, including machine vision) can be deployed creatively, and critically,…
Waveform is a speculative instance of ‘drone generated poetry’, meditating on the role of digital sensors in contemporary environmental monitoring. In this project, coastal shorelines are imaged using…
Signals is a collection of algebraic poems written in Lincos, the mathematical language designed for communicating with extra-terrestrial intelligences. Each poem is accompanied by exoplanet search imagery derived…
Mindshadow is a meditation on the nature of communication, meaning, and storytelling after the passing of humanity. It takes the form of a message from one alien AI…
This text is a catalogue of outputs derived from a speculative investigation into machine vision systems. In this investigation, an image synthesising AI (Stable Diffusion V2) was used…
Swarming Media is a generative codework that has been produced by simulating a fleet of airborne utility drones, navigating a generic urban environment, and performing myriad “dull, dirty,…
Orbital Reveries is an artistic project in which terrestrial satellite imagery is processed using computer vision algorithms to generate topological, lexical poems— characterised as ‘textscapes’. In parsing technoscientific…
The Aftermath Atlas is presented as a “publishers preview” of a future book written in 2075. It details the startling discovery, made in the early 2070s, that Landsats…
This collection explores the results of asking a text-based Large Language Model (LLM) to generate ASCII pictures in response to a range of simple prompts. In subverting their…
Emergent Typography is an experiment that involves imprinting a conventional 26 character Latin alphabet onto a rule-driven matrix characteristic of cellular automata. The system is then allowed to…
Swipe is a meditation on how so-called ‘swipe’ typing represents a mode of contemporary calligraphy. In this mode, the defined letterforms of print are converted into flowing glyphs—evoking…
FLOWPATH is a graphical, emergent programming language, inspired by 10 PRINT algorithms, cellular automata, and liquid computing architectures. It has been developed in light of the long history…
This Bitsy art game invites you to spend a couple of minutes in a garden that changes with the time of day and the passing seasons, reading generative haikus drawn from the…
This Bitsy art game invites you to join a team of human operators in a city-wide automated control centre, scanning through a synthetic map of ‘tasks’ generated by the system,…
This Bitsy art game depicts life as an automated flying delivery drone, as seen from the standpoint of the machine itself. It is a codework, revealing the city, from the drone’s…
This Bitsy art game is a whimsical remake of the famous short story by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. Explore the divergent paths of the labyrinthine garden, while leafing through cut up…
