I design for places words can’t reach, and build the instruments that can.

Research and concept, image making and motion, visual systems and code, assembled into things that work. Still learning. Full of potential.

Exhibitions, tools, films, and the code underneath.

01 Solving problems by composition האמנם — ?

A poem you can take apart. And put back differently.

A poem everyone here grew up with, taken apart into seventy words.

Around 700 images, placed one at a time by judgement, never by keyword.

The piece asks whether an image can carry what a word carries. Visitors answered by choosing.

02 Making images that make an impact האמנם — ?

380 people came in. 81% changed the poem.

Made for strangers’ hands, and printed as a 700-page book with an exposed spine.

What the data said back
  1. 01The word won. 30.7% of all cells.
  2. 02Abstract beat literal, three to one.
  3. 03It held.
What I changed because of it
  1. 01Measured from night one. Logging went in on the opening night.
  2. 02Two fixes shipped on night two.
  3. 03Then the verdict I didn't want. 1,710 dead taps.
  4. 04So this site has a visible affordance for every control.

03 Researching new solutions האמנם — ?

From paper, to a system, to tools I had to build.

  1. 01
    Torn paper swatches, one per word, held with paperclips.

    On paper first

    Seventy words, seventy torn swatches, arranged by hand.

  2. 02
    The colour system: every word of the poem carrying its own researched colour.

    Then a colour system

    The board became data: a colour per word, and a tool to test them.

  3. 03
    The index: 700 archive images sorted against the poem's words.

    Then the index

    Software I wrote to index 700 images against 70 words across ten archives.

04 Exploring human interaction with AI sensitiveinjection

Injecting vulnerability into a system.

sensitiveinjection is the outcome of speculative research: what happens when you inject sensitivity, vulnerability, into a system.

Mid-film, its status line reads System error: is the user disappointed in me?

It’s running here, live. Ask it for something, and it will answer you with vulnerability.

05 Designing a better world צער בני אנוש

I design because I want a better world. So I show a worse one.

צער בני אנוש: a speculative future in which people live in shelters, waiting to be adopted.

בואו לקחת חבר לחיים, ולהציל חיים.

I research the world through design.

I don't know what the end of the road looks like, only that it holds good things we'll make together. Sound like you? Get in touch.
