Artistic Research: Probing Inner & Outer Worlds
(Image: a compelling visual from Brain, Innards, or Brainstorm here)
Opening:
My artistic practice is driven by a process I call Artistic Alchemy: exploring how we can weave together technology, nature, and our inner selves to find deeper connection in a mediated world. This research aims to delve further into art's unique power to transmute technologically-derived data – from MRI scans to satellite views – into resonant, embodied experiences.
A Glimpse into the Process: Exploring Medical Imagery (Workshop Example)
A key thread in my work involves engaging with biological data. An online workshop I led in 2020, connected with Vasulka Kitchen Brno, served as a hands-on lab for exploring the creative potential within medical imagery, particularly MRI scans.

Instead of viewing MRI data solely through a clinical lens, we explored it as a landscape. How can we, as artists:
Listen to the patterns within the data?
Translate its digital structure into light, form, and movement?
Find poetic truths and affective qualities hidden in the scans?
Connect these intimate biological views back to a felt sense of self and body?
Discussions also touched on adjacent imaging methods – from analog scan processing to electron microscopy – not as distractions, but as ways to understand the broader history and language of how technology shapes our perception.

The Alchemy:
This process of engaging intuitively and critically with technological 'seeing' – whether it's an MRI, a satellite feed, or a generative algorithm – is central to my proposed MA research. It's about finding the human resonance within the signal, transforming complex or abstract data into pathways for reflection, wonder, and connection.
