Research & Sound

I'm a research fellow and PhD candidate at the KIM research group on critical artificial intelligence at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, where I conduct research about conflict prediction in the humanitarian sector as part of the research consortium AI Forensics (2022-25).

I'm the head of a new MFA at Sandberg Instituut titled Artificial Times, which invites students to critically engage with music, sound and AI. My classes are research-focused and result in exhibitions and publications. Last year, I've been teaching a module on AI and sound, and a seminar on infrastructure and rituals, both at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

I co-founded Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, a curatorial platform for contemporary art, critical music and sound. We explore the spaces that radio offers for artistic practice beyond sound art. We also commission sound pieces and host a podcast. In 2022, we started a residency programme.

I host music radio shows, have released dance music on local labels Nous'Klaer Audio and Flippen Disks, and I produce sound pieces for exhibitions and contemporary art performances. My latest piece samples machine learning training data that is meant to train models to detect broken machines in industrial settings.
