Associate Professor & Researcher
Technical and organisational systems of collective creation.
I study how technologies and production organisations enable and shape collective creation in animation, visual effects and video games.
01 / RESEARCH
Understanding the systems behind collective creation.
My research examines the technical and organisational conditions that make collective creation possible, constrain it and transform it.
Production pipelines
Workflows, dataflows, production tools and the coordination of creative work.
Technological change
Real-time production, automation and generative AI in image industries.
Methods and models
Studio fieldwork, technical analysis, mapping and transferable models.
02 / SELECTED WORK
Research in practice.
Selected investigations, experiments and collaborative projects.
Pipeline Studies
Technical and organisational systems in animation, VFX and video game production.

03 / CREATION
Games, gestures and shared experiences.
Experimental video games, interactive installations, performances and digital images: an individual and collective artistic practice.
04 / RESPONSIBILITIES
Research, education and knowledge transfer.
Research valorisation
Institutional strategy, partnerships and the diverse ways research can benefit society.
Teaching and programme leadership
Developing programmes that connect digital creation, research and professional practice.
05 / BACKGROUND
Artistic practice, research and collective creation.
My background spans experimental video games, artistic collectives, research and teaching. The archive preserves these different periods without treating every work as a precursor to my current research.
