Since 2021, I have been expanding my practice into creative technology, focusing on live visuals, interactive installations, and immersive environments. My work blends art, technology, and human perception, utilizing tools like Touchdesigner, generative design, and real-time audiovisual systems to create dynamic, interactive experiences. Passionate about emergent systems and collective intelligence, I seek to develop projects that merge aesthetics with meaningful interaction, pushing the boundaries of digital expression.
