About
Welcome to my online portfolio. This website showcases a timeline and trajectory of the projects that have shaped my current practice:
Research and Practice
As an artist, my work focuses on creating new music instruments which have been integrally design from the ground up to generate new perceptions towards our ability to create, new educational experiences, new forms of cross-culture communication and also a new reflection into our cybernetic condition.
In more detail, I aim to instrument a new conception of music that evolves around the potential of public and collective instrumentation:
1. Public instrumentation design is the practice of directly instructing society with new perceptions towards emerging technologies. By designing instruments that freely and easily allow participants into the fundamental building blocks of these technologies, people can thus truly understand the potential and involving responsibilities of these.
2. Collective instrumentation refers to creating instruments designed to enable multiple participants a distributed control over the creative process, enabling them to practice a new conception of creation as an open and collective system where cooperation and adaptation take center stage.
That is the essential use of an instru-ment; to instruct ‘instruere’ the mind ‘mentis’ into a new state of perception.
Parallel to my artistic practice, I follow this premise on a prefessional level as an Innovation design engineer: I combine a strong knowledge of technological applications, as well as design and fast-prototyping methodologies, in order to implement solutions to important problems, specializing in healthtech and education tech.
In my free time, I like to compose music, DJ, climb mountains and play football.
