I HAVE DETAINED YOUR ATTENTION
My practice begins where systems break. In the noise of the glitch, in the unfinished code, in the loops that never resolve, I find a language for resistance. I use creative coding and interactivity to build ecologies of play, spaces where attention can wander, and new forms of connection can emerge.
Rooted in social constructivism and cognitive development techniques, I see interactivity as a pedagogical approach that fosters critical engagement and reclamation of digital spaces. I draw from Jenny Odell’s writing on attention and Legacy Russell’s ideas on glitch feminism, which identify refusal and resistance through awareness. For me, interactivity is a form of social constructivism: when audiences participate, they construct meaning together. That’s why the works rely on participation, movement, and reflection. Each interaction becomes an act of care, a rehearsal for autonomy within technological space and a reminder that attention itself can be an act of resistance.
My outputs, interactive media, video, sound, websites, and curated works create environments that transform digital errors and algorithmic processes into spaces for collective reflection. My research investigates how art can foster autonomy, empathy, and critical thought in response to a data-driven culture. The works are temporary architectures for attention, asking what it might mean to use technology not to extract, but to repair and connect.
