Statement
I am based in Bangkok and am a co-founder of Tentacles Art Space, a member of Freaklab in Thailand, as well as a member of metaPhorest in Japan.
For the last 8 years, I have explored various concepts related to life and simulation through the investigation of technology. These incorporate ideas around synthetic biology, mixed reality, brain stimulation, and artificial intelligence. I am interested in how life forms adapt to and negotiate with changing environmental conditions, including climate, geopolitics, and geoeconomics.
I use sleep as a prism to understand and investigate life, society, culture, and technology. I create installations, performances, songs, and architecture for people to rest and reimagine their perceptions through sleep and dreams.
In the past 5 years, I have collaborated with scientists, engineers, dancers, and perfumers to create performance, installation and participatory works.
• The Lunartic Dream Project (2021): This work investigates human interplanetary desires and ideology by combining mythology and advanced technology to materialize the human-non-human dream of spreading life to other planets.
• Young Eel project (2019): I combine lab-grown meat, brainwaves, sound, and light to reanimate sleepers and transfer consciousness and memories into cloned bodies. Through an exploration of sleep and dreams, I investigate aging society and environmental concerns for human and eel populations. Young Eel is the development from Anonymassage project and Song of Naga Cave
