This website includes AI-assisted, partially AI-modified, and AI-generated visual material. The animated background is an AI-assisted video work developed through a creative process involving source material, editing, and generative tools; see the making-of tutorial. Selected Talks & Workshops images are AI-assisted or partially AI-modified, and some presentation videos include AI-generated or AI-modified visuals. These materials are part of my experimental research and creative practice on digital culture, AI, and historical representation.
