I am an educator and art director working at the intersection of graphic design and digital arts. Exploring the fascinating interplay between book arts, multimedia, web design, and artificial intelligence (AI) allows me to investigate new ways to establish connections between these disciplines.
My primary focus in academic research revolves around the constant data collection process made possible through the presence of AI in our lives. In my recent exhibition, I used family portraiture in artist’s books and web design to explore this controversial topic, seeking ways to raise the awareness and to demand transparency about data harvesting.
