Centring on a physical still life, the artist's traditional gymnasium, this installation exposes the absurdity of generative AI. Triggered by a button, the system captures reality but refuses to see it, replacing the objects with "perfect" statistical fabrications that immediately melt into digital entropy. As the image degrades, the system attempts to make sense of the noise, searching the Flickr archive for human memories that match its own distorted visions.

A poem based sculpture, drawn unease when struggling to remember something, as is often the case, and couldn't, as I had no signal. I had instinctively reached for access to the cloud, with the realisation that all my memories are stored online, on data centres I'll never see, physically owned by someone else is an unnerving feeling of loss. Knowing these memories I struggle to recall, are amalgamating into reasoning models, is there's a fraction of yourself in them? Elements of the poem will creep in but are purposefully obscured instead, focusing on the mental imagery.

i potato self-portrait is a durational generative portrait of a potato. The fidelity of the portrait is controlled by the health and charge of a large potato battery array. It runs a custom image diffusion model trained on a dataset of 10,117 images of healthy, and diseased potatoes. The voltage of this potato battery controls the health of the generated potatoes. As the potatoes dry up and lose the ability to generate power, so does the health of the potato in the portrait. Eventually, i potato self-portrait will no longer be able to produce an image of a healthy potato.

Window activates a global architecture to forge a hole through a wall. Utilising Apple's Facetime video call infrastructure, Window employs a connection between two devices spaced 30cm apart made by passing data to the Wifi router, over copper cables to a local exchange, fibre optics to the Internet Service Provider's core network, onto the London Internet Exchange, to Apple Edge Servers in a London datacentre, and all the way back again. In cutting a virtual hole in the wall, Window stretches the interior space of the gallery around a city.

Precipitation Network is an installation that materialises network infrastructure through live environmental signals and renders network activity as a dynamic physical condition. The system measures local network activity, including Wi-Fi traffic, device presence and ambient signal activity, and maps these variables to physical outputs such as light, mist, and motion. Viewers and their devices continuously influence the system, modulating its behaviour in real time and foregrounding their participation in normally imperceptible infrastructures.

Joy converts gallery visitors into search queries for intimate content. Computer vision tracks bodies as they move through space, encoding these behaviors into semantic vectors that match fragments of jerk-off instruction videos. A neural network learns which clips engage visitors most, adapting its selections to maximize attention.

recursive_wait is a computational performance in which client-server communication becomes a metaphor for persistence without resolution. A minimal network-one browser client, one server-loops endlessly. The client sends requests; the server never delivers. Each failure returns an error carrying a single poetic line. Over time, these fragments accumulate in the browser's developer console, forming a poem that is never identical and never complete. On screen, a cockroach circles a white plate like a loading spinner-an homage to Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice. Around the monitor, tangled network cables form a nest of connectivity that leads nowhere. The work offers no interaction. Meaning does not arrive as an answer, but slowly assembles through waiting.
