HELLMALWARE

VISUAL ARTIST · VJ · CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST

Always looking beyond the present.

I build visual systems for artists, brands and projects that don't want to look like everything else. I explore the intersection between new and obsolete technologies, humanity and artificial intelligence, retro imaginaries and possible futures.
