This archive brings together work I have produced across public writing, publishing, artistic research, teaching, and research leadership since 2010. Its forms have changed, as have its audiences and settings. The questions running through it have remained remarkably persistent: who has the power to classify people and their experiences; how institutions turn those classifications into knowledge and policy; and what happens to bodies, relationships, and political possibilities when systems treat their own categories as neutral.
My early networked feminist and anti-racist writing addressed racial classification, Islamophobia, bodily autonomy, the authority claimed by public voices, and the political limits of liberal and corporate feminism. These texts appeared in blogs, online magazines, and other public forums. They were written for circulation and argument, often in response to events as they unfolded. The archived essays from 2010 onward preserve that work in its original public setting and make its development across venues and years visible.
In the following years, I extended these concerns through writing on borders, nationalism, institutional violence, food and bodily administration, surveillance, and the political uses of emotion. The work gathered in the 2016–2019 Big Data, Community Surveillance, and Aggregated Emotions deposit examines the relationship between older regimes of colonial taxonomy and newer systems of data collection, prediction, and algorithmic governance. It also asks whose fear, vulnerability, and refusal can be recognized as politically meaningful, and whose are dismissed or converted into data to be managed.
From 2018 onward, a substantial part of this research has taken place at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut. I began as a research fellow, became a senior researcher, and later a lector. Alongside those roles, I have worked as a tutor and lecturer and supervised doctoral programmes. This has meant developing research questions with others, teaching them across disciplines, shaping programmes and public conversations, and supporting work whose eventual form may be a text, an artwork, a lecture, a course, or a doctoral project. That sustained institutional and pedagogical practice is part of the trajectory represented here.
The Artifice of Intelligence / Beauty and the Machine archive documents one phase of that work through research texts, lectures, programme materials, audiovisual contributions, and teaching. Questions about classification and power move there into machine vision, borders, artificial intelligence, aesthetics, consent, and the conditions under which an algorithm is taught to see. The archive records research as something carried through public programmes and pedagogy as well as authored publications.
My more recent work develops these investigations through affective logistics, algorithmic haunting, latency, sonification, and artistic form. Latent Mournings: Notes on Algorithmic Haunting brings a long period of thinking into book form. The dispatches collected in This Haunted Inbox Where I Archive show research while it is still being made: concepts tested, projects developed, connections drawn, and work brought into public view. Their dates and sequence matter because they show thought unfolding over time.
The Zenodo deposits were assembled in 2026, but the works they preserve retain their original publication dates, venues, and contexts. They are selected archives of a practice that has moved across formats and institutions for more than sixteen years. Read together with the books, chapters, teaching, and research leadership, they make visible both the volume of that work and its continuity: a sustained inquiry into how power organizes knowledge, bodies, feeling, and value, pursued through the forms each stage of the inquiry required.
