Digital technologies are increasingly mediating the relationship between us and the world. Value judgments aside, what are the implications of this? How will our tendencies shift? How will this amplify or blunt our experience? How will this empower us? How will this inhibit us? The lines of inquiry are innumerable. I want to analyze these lines at many different levels, from their very human manifestation in our daily life to their seemingly faceless manifestation in largescale patterns. This desire has pushed me to adopt a multi-method approach.

I also love hanging with crows, hiking, rock climbing, making silly music compositions, my pup and 19th-century philosophy.
