During my residency at Mediamatic, I worked at the intersection of bio-design, textiles, and social scenography. As the lead assistant for the Inhuman Carnaval, I helped transition the project from a temporary concept into a permanent "Costume Lab." My role was multidisciplinary by design: I managed the physical build-out of the studio, authored technical guides for sewing and textile manipulation, and coordinated large-scale events like Neo-Futurist dinners and communal gardening projects.
This role required a balance of digital precision and "hands-on" grit. One day I would be researching how smell acts as a disguise in nature for a blog post; the next, I would be photographing local flora to create site-specific environmental graphics. This period solidified my commitment to accessible communication and "messy" experimentation principles that still drive my graphic design and art direction today.
