Current research investigates the translation, classification, and reconstruction of visual information through photography, sound, machine vision, and artificial intelligence.
Untitled #310, 2020 - Ongoing
Using an artificial intelligence neural network trained on the Google AudioSet, this work detects the sound of a gunshot and instantly takes a photograph of the sky at that moment. Although the photographs will largely not capture any event, their index is a response to the instantaneousness of gun violence which has characterized the past four decades.

Translation Systems. Ongoing inquiry where still and moving images are converted into sound. Rather than preserving the image, these works test what new knowledge is understood when visual information is translated into another form.

Synthetic Histories, 2025 - Ongoing
Synthetic Histories extends an ongoing inquiry into collective memory and photographic evidence through the creation of machine-generated images that encode historical events without directly representing them. By replacing documentation with visual inference, the works examine how images communicate meaning and acquire historical authority.

Metropolis extends an ongoing series of film interventions through the reconstruction of Fritz Lang’s film without its human subjects. Developed using contemporary AI tools, the project connects historical anxieties surrounding automation, labor, and mechanization with current debates about artificial intelligence, machine vision, and the displacement of human agency.
