My artistic practice focuses on exploring the intersection of art, music, and technology using emergent mediums like media art, AR/VR, and more.
Side Projects
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to affect the world, an audio series called Qstories aims to document the lives of people who have been directly or indirectly affected by the pandemic. The series seeks to collect audio files from people all over the world who are under quarantine, and share their day-to-day experiences. This project is an initiative by producer Nganji Kimonyo (Kigali, Rwanda) and visual designer Kirubel Mehari (Montreal, Canada), who have come together to contribute to the documentation of this global crisis.
Exhibitions
In Heart and Life and Longing is an exhibition stemming from a public engagement project developed by Andrew Jackson
