Statement
My research focuses on the art and science interaction with a critical discourse in the creation of artifacts. I am especially interested in physics as a way of perceiving the invisible universe that surrounds us, and in mathematics as a means for designing and computing technological artifacts. Through artistic experiments in field of electronic textiles, I seek to create sensory extensions of the human body to examine it as an interface of control and resistance, to engage with crafting and the revitalization of tradition as a methodology of hacking existing norms about technical objects, and to apply DIY (Do It Yourself) and DIWO (Do It With Others) techniques as educational models for diffusing knowledge.
