Our contemporary world is saturated with feedback systems; in our workplaces, in our everyday lives and in our technology and media systems.
My artworks explore how they act as a form of control and how we interact with them, often unconsciously performing prescribed roles. Increasingly I use software, programming and emerging technology to explore these ideas. My artworks have also utilised methods of reconstruction, and restaging, focusing on historical moments, objects or events that have instructive parallels with the present.
Many artworks are collaborations with other writers, artists and technologists, including Tom McCarthy, Sarah Selby, Steve Ruston, Jamie Lamb and Nathan Semertzidis.
