Data-Masks: Biometric Surveillance Masks Evolving in the Gaze of the Technological Other
A Master's Thesis addressing biometric surveillance technology, and the 'Technological Other', a global super-organism of all technology. This research has resulted in 3D printed face masks that were algorithmically evolved to satisfy facial recognition algorithms, titled "Data-masks".

CHARON: The Self and the Technological-Other
A Master's Thesis addressing technical considerations, and philosophical reflections on the use of autonomous robotic agents in art, society, and warfare. Specifically, this paper addresses the use of an autonomous quadrocopter in a CAVE-like immersive virtual reality environment with motion tracking capabilities. Also described are several approaches for preparing highly non-conformal generative geometries for rapid prototyping and 3D printing..
