Material-Discursive Tesseract

Practice-as-Research · New Materialism · Posthumanism · Material-Discursivity

My doctoral research explores how artistic practice becomes a site of knowledge-making through the entanglements of human and more-than-human agencies.

Drawing on new materialist and posthumanist thinking, I experiment with material, technological and narrative processes to investigate how knowledge emerges through practice rather than preceding it.
