Biography
Since I was a child, I had the need to understand how things worked, trying to understand the mechanisms and working principles that regulate them, breaking them up to the point of no return (needless to say, my parents weren't always happy with this curiosity of mine). Today, as a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Humanities and Creative Writing of the Hong Kong Baptist University, my work explores the development of visually 'intelligent' machines and their implications on what we know and think on the ways we see the world. My academic work has been published in several academic journals, including Leonardo (MIT Press), European Journal of Media Studies (Amsterdam University Press) and AI & Society (Springer).
