Awarded the Pete Townshend Endowed Senior Lectureship in Performative Technoetics (2022-2024), the core of her explorations is the interest in cross-scale information and communication dynamics that impact and shape macro-scale emergent phenomena. In her recent projects, she explores the metaphysics of information visualization in subversive morphogenetic strategies and the macroscale impacts of molecular, atomic, and subatomic trades in the design of a series of transobjects and ‘relational systems’ welcoming the animistic to navigate ecologies as cosmologies.
