I am an artist-researcher guided by convoluted movements through music, art and architecture. The interaction between space and sound in cities with a history/ present of conflict has been a recurring theme in my multi-media work. My doctoral thesis explores the state-altering effects of waveform transmissions of sound, light, space and movement from the Russian Avant-Garde to today's clubs and raves. I'm one half of a collaborative practice with the amazing artist-researcher and film-maker Henrietta Williams. Another ongoing project of which I am artistic director and co-founder is Sonic Sphere; a re-imagining and evolution of the seminal 1970 Kugelauditorium by Karlheinz Stockhausen. We've showcased Sonic Sphere at Burning Man in 2022, and The Shed in NYC in 2023, and we are currently working on a permanent sphere in Miami
