I am a transmedia artist with a research-based practice.
I have a background in journalism and marketing. Informed by this ambiguous background -attempting to render reality through information on the one hand, and manipulating reality through information on the other hand-, my practice is centered on the critical exploration of the concept of media, and on the investigation of media’s content and form. Since I'm interested in “media” (from Latin medium "the middle, interval,") and mediation, my practice is fundamentally focused on in-betweeness and connectivity.
More specifically, I am interested in investigating the connection between reality and imagination to challenge their binary conception and the hierarchy commonly attributed to them.
To conduct this investigation, I misuse a marketing and entertainment methodology called "transmedia storytelling" which consists of connecting non-linear narrative strands spread across media within one universe to create a coordinated experience.
As a prolongation of my transmedia practice, I am also conducting research on experimental sensory mediation supports, mediating vision through smells and audition through haptics.
