I am an artist and PHD candidate at the University of the West of England's Digital Culture Research Centre (DCRC), focused on engaging audiences in debate about the monetary, banking and financial system through participatory art. Recent works include: The Autonomous Teller Machine
(2018), a confused ATM activated through the insertion of a bank card
that quizzed audiences about the 2008 financial crisis via a receipt
printer; I-D coin (2018), a speculative design film short listed for the
Future of Money Award; and BankRUN (2017), a self-standing ATM from
which I dispensed 200 hand-printed banknotes creating a 'bank run'.
I am dedicated to creating avenues
for understanding money and finance through my creative practice. More
specifically, to drawing parallels between magic, myth and finance in
order to expose 'rational' economic thought for what it is: magical
thinking. PERFORMANCES 2020 - Breaking the Spell of Finance: on transaction data, Festival of Economics, Bristol (online).
