Artist Statement:
We exist within an environment that can be characterized by the ubiquity of digital technologies. I look for moments where breaking and broken technological systems blur the boundary between the real and virtual. In those moments there is potential to experience and lose oneself somewhere between the machine and the human. As I lose myself, I become a movement system of data dancing.
