The images in The Dream Life of Data (2024–26) are composite—photography in the expanded field, or perhaps not photography at all but something photo-adjacent.

The components were generated using AI applications. By feeding improbable word combinations to these mechanic systems, I generated offbeat, unanticipated imagery. Guided by surprise, recognition, and intuition, I assembled these figments into dreamlike scenarios.

I work in a state of productive uncertainty and I let the material lead—my unconscious meets the unconscious internet. The Dream Life of Data inhabits a space where the familiar and the uncanny coexist. These images gesture toward something difficult to name—something otherworldly, elusive, and ineffable.
