sharing knowledge

Teaching

I teach VR Art and Storytelling as a guest lecturer at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences & Arts and mentor students as they create their own immersive narratives.

Talks & Panels

I've spoken about my work, and more broadly VR & New Media art, at events such as the Venice International Film Festival, Art*VR, and the Symposium on the 9th Art.

Events

I enjoy sharing the joy of VR art at events and fairs with people of all ages, both by doing live-painting sessions and by accompanying them as they try VR painting for themselves.

I’ve worked on a variety of VR pieces in collaboration with clients such as Meta and Atlantic Productions, and am also teaching VR art and storytelling as a guest lecturer at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, from which I graduated in 2019. My directorial debut, Perennials, premiered 2023 at the Venice International Film Festival.
