My work IS SHAPED BY the urban environment of Leicester and its mashup of cultural, technological and social histories; by THE patterns and decorative techniques OF my South Asian heritage; and by the hazy, bassy vibes of Leicester’s underground clubs at the turn of the millennium.
I use a cut+paste approach across images, processes and locations. I think a lot about actions of sampling, remixing, quoting and transposing - across cultural/social contexts and across past/present.
My recent work has explored AI-generated image-making, live coding, augmented reality, remote collaboration, problematic archives, electronic sound art, generative art-making and the history of early computer art in Leicester.
Currently I’m taking part in the UK x HK Digital Residency Programme, led by FACT, Liverpool; Platform Asia & Sudden Beams; Videotage, Hong Kong; and Near Now/Broadway, Nottingham. The programme EXPLORES world-building, XR, game engines for art-making, creative uses of AI, non-linear storytelling and wider screen culture.
