Institute of Contemporary Arts: Live
Two works using generative artificial intelligence text-to-image software which were created to announce two experimental club nights at the ICA
The text prompts used to generate these works juxtaposed concrete materials with biological descriptions to create sculptural yet organic forms

Multispecies Engagement Evaluation Program
Visual identity and printed materials for MEEP, a polytemporal initiative by the Department of Interbeing. MEEP were commissioned by the Australian Network for Art & Technology to develop and perform a durational, live art and speculative futures project for their symposium, ANAT SPECTRA: Multiplicity 2022, held at the Science Gallery Melbourne
MEEP attended the symposium as cultural attachés from the year 2082 sent through space-time to evaluate multi-species inclusion and participation at the symposium. Seen as a playful experiment in ‘ontological evaluation’, MEEP engaged human and nonhuman participants to identify points of interdependence and collaboration across species, temporalities, and scales

Zero: The Book
Between January 2017 and March 2020, Corsica Studios in South London was home to the midweek experimental arts and music night, Ø — pronunced ‘zero’. The night was host to artists which included Mark Fisher, John Akomfrah, Venus Ex Machina, Lawrence Lek, and The Otolith Group, and DJs and performers which included Arca, Nkisi, Cõvco, Mica Levi, and Crystallmess
This 120-page book is a time capsule of those 36 events, featuring full colour photographs of the installations, conceptual abstracts, artist bios, short additional texts and a flyer archive of the line-ups. Profits from sales of the book are donated to Latin Elephant, a charity advocating for the rights of migrant and ethnic groups in the area around the club
