Boundary Objects
Amongst constant connectivity and a materialism that defines all things by its ability to store, process, and share information, I explore printed matter as a way to resolve how meaning is constructed. The printed page defines an active area, the edges of the page define the end of a logic that defines the information contained. Boundary objects; pages, websites, screens, walls, filter bubbles, all act to define, contain and give concreteness to synapses and can be designed and constructed in intentionally leading ways.

NeoSelf Issue 1
NeoSelf is a publication divulging into the act of digitization and reproduction as technologies become more affluent in our lives and advanced in their ability to record, document, analyze, understand, and ultimately reproduce us. This is not a seamless process and those who live with these emerging technologies take on behaviours and habits to help the technologies progress. Each issue of NeoSelf stands as a separate documentation of myself, translating my physical being and the informational traces I leave behind, into something archival and readable to new technologies.

5 Thoughts
A small zine of short texts structured by five terms that relate to my work; connectivity, mediality, radioactivity, materiality, and creativity. Each term is followed by a short text on my definition of them and my interest in each as areas of exploration for my work.

NeoSelf 3 (Alpha)
A booklet that acts as a proof-of-concept for an upcoming issue of the NeoSelf project. It looks at the technological and financial evolution of 3D-printing and currently emerging technologies to anticipate a time when printing genetic code and DNA strands, from purely computer code, will become commonplace. The proposal for Issue 3 is to sequence my whole genome to have available for free for tests and tinkering when such time occurs.

Skeuomorphic
A small zine designed for the two texts Precomposed and Decomposed. The zine is an illustration of how digital platforms become content-agnostic in order to best fit everything under its logic. In this way, digital platforms gloss over content, purposely removing it of context and grounding, to fit it within a their template and ideology.
