Teaching + Research
“Consciousness itself can arise and become a viable fact only in the material embodiment of signs”
My research interests span two fields:
The use of Signs for Politics in Social Movements and Social Networks.
Under this umbrella I’m interested in Graphics, Photomontage and Collage, ‘Dialogical Discourse’ and Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language, Communicative Capitalism and the idea of Cultural Commons, Technology, Urban Space and Everyday Life, Creativity and Education, Democracy and Collective Production, Large Scale Public Artworks, Projections, Spectacles, Supergraphics and the Design of Protest.
As part of this practice I also collect and collate memes and online graphic forms of resistance at memerevolt.net. I also collect the times where Advertising references Revolution at adrevolt.net
My second interest is:
Graphics for Music.
Under this umbrella I experiment as Effekts studio with hacked analogue and coded digital filtering and projection tools to make music videos for clients as well as perform VJ visuals live for music..
I currently teach classes on:
Online Flexible Graphic Visual Identity Systems.
Experimental Typography and Emojis
Semiotics, Collage, Montage and Making Meaning of Memes.
Political Augmented Reality.
Music Video VFX.
Neo-Liberalism and Contemporary Visual Culture.
