I am a digital artist and researcher based in Manchester. My artistic practice looks at the behaviour of machines, particularly the behaviour machines manifest with one another. I’m interested in the way we perceive how they act and the meaning we attribute to them, both consciously and unconsciously. My intention is for my work to stimulate discussions surrounding emergent behaviour and the nature of consciousness in artificial systems.

My work spans across sculpture, robotics and installation. Viewer participation is key to my work, and viewers are often encouraged to engage directly with the machines, influencing their behaviour and making the participant an active element of the system. My artistic practice is characterised by an emphasis on physical experiment. Much of the time I don’t know how a machine will act, instead simply creating the conditions for behaviour to emerge.
