Current Research and Creative Interests

Research in image processing using convolutional neural networks. This approach has been used on still images, on video and on 360 video.  It has been used to explore themes related to the surveillance society, spirituality, temporality and community responsiveness to threats. 

A principle theme of the creative and conceptual work have involved fire in a number of different contexts. Fire as a performative and temporal medium, fire and performance as a way of revealing what is hidden through algorithmic processing and immersive video as a way of community outreach in bush fire prone areas.
