Artistic research
Towards Atmospheric Care
A long-term collaborative project, exploring air as a naturalcultural phenomenon situated at the nexus of media, science, and technological mediation. Using installation, audiovisual essays, lecture-performances, and writing, the project examines the overlapping boundaries between the aesthetic, scientific, and political dimensions of air and atmosphere at a time when technoscience and digital technologies shape our environmental sensibilities.

Teaching
Current courses
Workshops that approach the environment as a necessary (though unevenly produced) condition of social reproduction, and that use artistic and queer-feminist pedagogies to exlore how ecological relations are organised, maintained, devalued, or reimagined.
About me
I am an interdisciplinary researcher based in Tallinn, Estonia. I work across artistic practice, research, and pedagogy, developing projects through situated fieldwork, residencies, and long-term collaborations. My work focuses on how science, technological infrastructures, and everyday practices of maintenance and care condition ecological sensibilities and imaginaries.
