Most of my creative output centres around our symbiotic relationship with technology, particularly communications and information technology, and how in the words of Father John Culkin “we shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”.

My YouTube series Deify Error uses the 1980s Satanic Panic as both a humorous and terrifying lens through which to view the post-war cultural and technological changes wrought by the communications satellite, the television and the atom bomb.

My mixed media series Into the Maelstrom dives deep into both the psychological, cultural and spiritual impact of the internet and social media, and poses questions about the nature of mind and sentience in regards the growth of networked computational systems. This has an accompanying article, published here in Aero magazine, as well as a small book of essays that can also be found on my blog.

The World Mind Awakens: Tonal Experiment

Made using Midjourney and Runway ML Gen-2 to experiment with a look and feel for my forthcoming video essay “The World Mind Awakens: Electric Media from Telegraph to Television”.

Growing up in the golden age of home movies, the medium of VHS imprinted itself deep on my psyche. Not just the movies which I surreptitiously watched, but the accompanying box art itself with their dumb taglines and hyperbolic blurbs. Between the ages of around 10 and 14, when made up stories with toys I would draw VHS covers for them. These stories were pastiches of hits and schlock of the era refracted through the prism of my adolescent mind. True to the creative process itself, I stole and recombined ideas, plagiarised and remixed, to the point of producing ideas and stories that were almost new. In late 2022 I decided to try and reinvent them with Generative AI as a way to learn what was possible with the technology.

Garden of Dionysus

A series based on a quote by feminist art historian Camille Paglia.

Understanding Media

I've been taking part in the Understanding Media course run by the McLuhan Institute. These were made in homage to McLuhan's old design collaborator Quentin Fiore.

Knowledge Workers

To decorate our office at the Inviqa HQ, I generated hundreds of images to try and depict what it is like working in UX and technology in the early 21st century.

This series explores the relationship between myth, technology, memory and the self and our need to seek pattern and impose order on the restless flux and chaos of world. It is about the convolution of information technologies and human consciousness, and the unfolding of extropic structure against the winds of entropy. 

I am a core member of The Tunnel are a diverse collective of artists, musicians, filmmakers, thinkers and chancers based in London. Every few months, we host themed events in and around the city to explore the role of the artist in this increasingly demented world. Our last show, The Zone, focuses on the philosophical, intellectual and spiritual reaction to late capitalism's impact on the environment. The title is taken from Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker (1979).

Our latest print Anthology: Hunger: Dispatches from the Edge of the Anthropocene, is now available on Blurb.
