🔵 Thrilled to announce that ‘Homecoming’ will have it’s premiere installation at @nieuweinstituut as part of the 2026 International Film Festival Rotterdam @iffr opening January 29th. This project has been a true labor of love—and easily the most complex production I’ve taken on to date.

Homecoming emerged through the collective effort of many collaborators and supporters including animators, ecologists, musicians, voice actors, and sound engineers. I am deeply grateful to everyone involved who has helped along the way, as well as to @iffr and @nieuweinstituut for their belief in the project and its vision. I very much look forward to sharing Homecoming with more audiences in the years ahead. More on that soon—

✈️ See you in Rotterdam.

“‘arp angels’ is the collapse of difference between simulation and reality. a place where the physical and digital architectures declare presence and assert agency. along with the architecture, the camera itself asserts its presence”

director mark dorf (@mrkdrf) on the conceptual framework behind his video for @discoveryz0ne’s “arp angels” 🪽

for “arp angels,” dorf adopted a handheld first person point of view to evoke a bodily experience of place within a world stripped of reliable logic. while constructing the video’s environments, dorf hand-animated every element without the use of ai-generated production tools, a “deliberate choice to embody the craft of a world in a time when reality’s logic is increasingly fleeting”

above, an extended look at “arp angels” for your simulated viewing pleasure 🌳🪨

‘Homecoming’ is screening with @aksiomaorg at Slovenian Cinametheque next week as a part of ‘Becoming Image’, an exhibition and screening program curated by the wonderful Marco de Mutiis.

The program investigates how computational photography, machine vision, CGI and generative AI have fundamentally altered the ontological status of the image. Hugely thankful to Marco and the folks at Aksioma Institute for Contemporary Art for placing my work in this critical dialog.

What really counts as nature in an age of technological acceleration? 

@mrkdrf “New Nature” developed over a decade of fieldwork in the Colorado mountains treats photography like ecological data, assembling a world that feels real but can never fully be. 

@saraludy approaches that same boundary from the inside out, refusing to pin nature down at all. Their work asks what it means to sense, simulate, and reimagine nature when the tools we use to see it are also rewriting it.

Featuring work by Stewart Bird, Mark Dorf, Allen-Golder Carpenter, Will Freudenheim, Frank Heath, Gary Hill, Kunning Huang, Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman, Maggie Lee, Kristin Lucas, Maya Man, Emmanuel Massillon, Takeshi Murata, Karyn Nakamura, Alix Pearlstein, Ben Shirken, Stan VanDerBeek and Nick Vyssotsky.

“At 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, a counter began. Unix time measures reality in non-leap seconds, accumulating without pause, a technical infrastructure that functions as our closest approximation of a universal now: a shared coordinate system where human perception and computational logic converge.

Yet convergence does not constitute equivalence.

The works assembled in this exhibition are computational, generative, or occupy both positions. Some execute continuously, producing output that exceeds any individual viewer’s capacity for reception. Others investigate the ontological gap between what machines can generate and what humans can meaningfully attend to. All operate within the productive tension between infinite generativity and finite attention.”

A new section is live on my site: a reference archive. It is a growing index of the texts that have most directly shaped the ideas, questions, and orientations at the core of my practice. Drawing from ecological theory, media criticism, feminist and posthumanist philosophy, political economy, and the history of art and technology, these works reflect an ongoing commitment to situating creative practice within broader intellectual, cultural, and environmental conversations. This is not a bibliography of influences per se, but rather a map of research over time.

The texts gathered in the list are not all of equal weight or relevance. Some are foundational works I return to repeatedly that I have built a close relationship with over time. Others are more peripheral, useful for a particular interest or context without being central to my thinking as a whole. A number of entries are included precisely because they present positions I do not hold, or hold only partially. 

Ultimately, this is an effort to mobilize information and knowledge and to put ideas into relation with one another. It is neither exhaustive nor fixed, and entries will continue to be added over time. I hope that this list is as helpful for others as it has been for me.

Please note: This section is still taking shape and will grow over time. It is not yet complete nor will it ever be.
