WHAT AM I DOING?
Questions surrounding how we act together lie at the core of my practice. I aim to design structures for reflexive navigation of how and why we conform to systems and what the possibilities of breaking with patterns might offer. I am involved in ongoing practical research into the potential for critical distance in augmented reality and the brandscape.

In 2010 I founded the Samsonov Film and Theatre Cooperative, a collective of performers, cinematographers, sound designers and editors, experimenting with approaches to film making. The project culminated in a feature film, "The Inspection House (training for the family in how to act)"

I studied Graphic Design in Bristol, Painting at the Royal College of Art, and Cinematography at the Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz; I was also a member of the Lux Associate Artists 2011. I am currently experimenting with wireless trasnception and remote communication.
