OBJECTIVE
To work in an environment where I can contribute my ideas, energy and skill while being creatively engaged and intellectually stimulated.
As a video artist with a strong academic involvement I intend to maximize the synergy between the two often-divided worlds of academia
and artistic practice; I believe that teaching must be integrated with cutting-edge experimental work and research.
