I’m an Associate Professor at TU Delft, working in human-algorithm interaction - exploring the messy terrain between people, data and things through a combination of making and thinking. My work centres on entangled interactions: the new ground of design and HCI as pervasive intelligence reshapes what it means to interact with technology, as interactions are now networked rather than person-to-person, fluid rather than bounded, and increasingly conceptual and epistemic, mediated through metaphors, imaginaries and the encoded knowledge of foundation models. I work to define this space, develop methods for designing within it, and ensure the resulting systems make room for human agency, meaning and justice. I am a synthesist, working across computer science, design, social science, speculation and theory.

The core of my practice is relational prototyping: a synthesis of design, computer science and socio-technical thought that surfaces existing relations, speculates about future possibilities, and materialises those speculations into things that can be examined, tested and lived with. Through the AI Futures Lab I apply this in high-stakes contexts — supporting victims of sexual violence, exploring the workplace implications of foundation models and shaping the future of physical work. Conceptually, I develop new foundations for these spaces: meaning-making with epistemic technologies, meaningful transparency as a relational, design-led approach to Civic AI, metaphor as a primitive in AI design. I collaborate on power-aware design practices, build experiential, speculative and role-played methods, trace how theories, values and practices shape technologies, and explore how embodied creative practice can form a counterpart to technical explanation.

In my creative practice I engage with interactions between people and technology. I make music using computers and controllers, and our laptop trio Raw Green Rust has played in many interesting places. I create artworks that explore technological and social phenomena and have been shown internationally (ZKM, Creativity and Cognition, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Talbot Rice Gallery) and have won multiple awards (Lumen Prize, New Technology Art Award).
