About Me

I am an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working at the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. My practice explores how computational systems, data, and machine learning can expand artistic expression while fostering new forms of public engagement and participation.

My research focuses on AI-driven public art, interactive installations, and data-based artistic experiences, with particular attention to their role in shaping sustainable, inclusive, and culturally responsive urban environments. Through both scholarly research and creative practice, I investigate how artificial intelligence can transform public spaces into dynamic platforms for communication, collective expression, and civic interaction.

Drawing from backgrounds in fine arts, creative coding, and digital technologies, I develop projects that integrate generative systems, real-time data, computer vision, and interactive media. My work seeks to bridge artistic experimentation and technological innovation, creating experiences that encourage audiences to actively engage with their surroundings and with one another.

My long-term goal is to contribute to the development of meaningful human-centered technologies and public art practices that strengthen connections between people, places, and emerging forms of intelligence.

Demo Reel & Artist Introduction

(2026)

Hello! Below you’ll find my demo reel showcasing selected works in Data-driven art.

The reel captures fragments of my journey — experiments in motion, emotion, code, and light. Each piece was born from curiosity and shaped by the tension between data and feeling.
