His most recent work is focused in large scale interactive public art installations and displays. His artistic research practice explores the relationships between technology, user experience, and architectural space to uncover new embodied perceptions and meaning. Constantly inspired by the tensions between physical and virtual space his works could be defined as architectural prosthetics which aim to bridge these two spaces. He works through experiments with interactive technologies, custom fabrication techniques, projection mapping, and performance art to test, critique and question our relationship to technology and the impacts it has on human existence and notions of the self.
