︎Statement
Digital connectivity has been challenging the supremacy of physical space in explaining how we use and transform the urban and natural landscape. Entirely new modes of building and experiencing place are emerging within the social fabric. I work with public and private institutions to reveal and unacknowledge the new commons by:︎ Exploring cities through contemporary media to unearth non-commodified values and champion the commons in transforming environments.
︎ Mapping relationsbetween the visible and the intangible forms of the city through cultural analytics and collective experiences.
︎ Bridging gapsbetween academic modalities of knowledge production and the information needed to reimagine the social contract.
