A Different Way of Seeing

Media archaeology offers a unique perspective on how we create, consume, and understand media technologies. Rather than viewing technological development as a straight line of progress, it excavates forgotten pathways, examines what might have been, and reveals hidden connections across time.

In my practice, I approach media not just as tools or content delivery systems, but as complex artifacts with their own histories, materialities, and untapped possibilities. I am particularly interested in the moments where different technological eras collide, creating unexpected dialogues and revealing insights about our relationship with technology.

Beyond Past and Future

While traditional archaeology digs into the physical past, media archaeology moves fluidly between different temporal zones. My work creates conversations between obsolete technologies and cutting-edge systems, revealing patterns that transcend simple chronology.

This approach allows me to explore "imaginary media" – technologies that might have existed but never materialized, or potential futures that reside within our present systems. By creating artifacts that exist outside conventional technological timelines, I invite viewers to question our assumptions about technological progress and consider alternative possibilities.

Machine-to-Machine Dialogues

A central element of my practice involves creating situations where different technological systems interact, transforming and interpreting each other's outputs. This process reveals how machines "see" and understand visual information, exposing the underlying assumptions built into our media systems.

In projects like LAPSES, I use AI systems to interpret abstract geometric animations, documenting how machine intelligence attempts to resolve impossible spatial relationships into photographic reality. These machine-to-machine dialogues serve as a form of active media archaeology, revealing not just how we use technology, but how technologies themselves process and transform information.
