Artists who work with technology often develop their own tools as part of the articulation of an aesthetic language. My research starts from the comparison of this process with the mutual transformations of devices, procedures, concepts and scientists that take place in a scientific lab. I am investigating the mutual construction of tools and artist, as a way to take a conceptual and practical step in my work and position it more explicitly relative to recent developments in the exact sciences. Central to formulating such a position will be to reflect on the dialogue between humans and technology, focusing on the point where concepts and materials interact. By engaging in a dialogue with devices and the cultures they are part of, I want to open a space of alternative technical possibilities. These are musical, poetic as well as utopian, and form a critique of a purely functional approach to technology. | Artists who work with technology often develop their own tools as part of the articulation of an aesthetic language.

Having technology as the other side in a dialogue implies that it has some degree of autonomy. To articulate my thoughts about this, I am looking into concepts relating to surprises caused by human inventions and artefacts.\\ | Having technology as the other side in a dialogue implies that it has some degree of autonomy.

Practical work in this research project has started from the historic technologies of analog computing and electronic modeling. The medium-term goal of this is to build an analog computer optimized for the synthesis of HD video signals (a project of several years that is now nearing completion) and to make a series of moving-image works with it that give a voice to the physicality of the systems that produced them.\\ | Practical work in this research project has started from the historic technologies of analog computing and electronic modeling.
