I am a visual technologist, academic, and filmmaker who works with traditional, experimental, and emerging video technologies in new media, documentary, journalism, ethnography, animation, live video performance, and photography.

My approach is rooted in a painterly, as well a poetic format to distill a type of phenomenological reportage: a way to illustrate and distill the nuances of culture through the lens of personal experience. My work aims to highlight how we commune with our social and physical geographies, how we contextualize ourselves within their influence, and how we can transfigure our understanding of them through expansive visual language.

My artwork, research, and industry work trajectory, spanning almost two decades, incorporates elements of portraiture, abstraction, interactivity, dream logic, chance operations, journalism, and immersive frameworks. Specific research topics include correlating ancient Chinese and Japanese non-linear poetry frameworks, and police data collection technology to AI driven interactive video narratives and display systems, VR ethnography and art, journalism and animation, and utilizing analogue film technology and methodology to digital production platforms. Showcased work includes the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA), in Montreal, Canada, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Taipei, Taiwan, and a solo exhibition at the Taitung Living Arts Museum in Taitung, Taiwan. My camerawork and journalism have been featured in the award-winning Taiwan PTS documentary on Rohingya refugee women in Bangladesh entitled The Most Vulnerable. Further industry contributions include working as a creative director and production designer on documentaries featured at the Sundance Film Festival, and SXSW.

I am currently a video ethnography researcher for the National Chengchi University Asia-Pacific Spatio Temporal Institute (ApSTi) in Taipei, Taiwan having recently taught as an assistant professor of Experimental Film, Cinematography, and Television Production at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University in Suzhou, China.
