Freelance X Collaborations

I often work as a freelance, collaborating with and developing for different international artists and researchers. I often take on a role of translating technical models, concepts and algorithms into accessible creative dialogues through artistic methods.

Examples include (but not limited to):

SMUC Kitchen

Working with Victor Bedo at the IXDM, I developed the web app that enabled the community to train their own food distribution system. I also helped to run workshops with the community and iterate it with their feedback from field tests.

Sentinel Self

Working with Sissle Marie Tonn on their S.T.A.R.T.S. funded project to developed the agent system for their artistic simulation. These agents movements based on the Kuramoto model used as a clustering system, and their behaviours emerged through an artificial immune (AI) system. Both of these systems were developed from interviews and references given by collaborating scientist and technical experts.

Mad Mans Laughter

Working With Alaa Mansour on their project to assist them in feeling out ML and generative AI algorithms and how they represent and materialise the figure of the "Arab".

ISCRI

Working with Orphan Drift to research into and developed AI and RL systems inspired by and wanting to get in touch with octopus intelligence.
