Describe your artistic style in three words.
(a)symmetric, (des)articulated, (un)sophisticated
What's inspiring you right now?
The mutualist character of neoliberal expansionism and the integration of the technosphere.
What do you do when you're feeling uninspired?
I read.
Tell us something unique about your process.
As a research-based artist, I always try to have leaks in my process. Usually, they operate as guiding channels to what comes next.
What advice do you have for other artists?
Whenever you think a work is done, start a process of integral deconstruction till it gets to a minimal state. Then build it again.
Anything else you'd like to share?
