Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
To increase understanding between human and machine, I place myself and my viewer within an experience of machine perception. Using data and algorithm, I amplify the machine’s inner experience and position my imagery in contexts that heighten awareness of seeing itself — windows, mirrors, photos, and video.
A recurring motif in my work is the visual primitive — a scientific term for the powerful visual building blocks I first investigated as a computational neuroscience researcher. These universal patterns shape a shared visual grammar across humans, animals, and machine intelligences. They are foundational to image-based technologies, from security cameras to image generation systems. They also have primal roots in biological vision, evolution, and nature. As they are generally hidden, I excavate visual primitives from landmark open-source machine vision models, and in so doing capture pivotal moments in the history of machine perception.
In this moment of uncertainty between nature, humanity, and machine, I’m grounded by the understanding that this visual language is both timely and timeless — and by the sense of wholeness that comes from weaving my scientific research into my artistic practice.
