Here are some highlights from the various projects and programmes that I have initiated and led over the years:
In 2010, I co-founded a platform for cultural initiatives, Izolyatsia, in Donesk, Ukraine. I shaped the mission of the organisation and its initial programme of research-oriented and site-specific art projects with emerging and internationally acclaimed artists such as Cai Guo-Qiang, Daniel Buren and Kader Attia.
In 2015, I worked on innovating Tate Modern’s approach to public programming as part of the Tate Exchange initiative.
Since 2018, I have been working with Serpentine, leading on the design and operationalisation of an unprecedented creative research & development programme.
With earlier experiences in the human rights and civic domains (Reprieve, European Commission and MSc Human Rights from the LSE), I am particularly interested in designing research and running experiments that test new interactions between law, culture and technology. My recent collaboration with RadicalxChange on a stewardship model for art that leverages blockchain systems (PCOArt), and the Data Trust Experiment that I ran together with colleagues from Turing Institute, AWO Agency, BRAID Fellowship and the Centre for Data Futures at King’s College, push the envolope on data rights and IP, offering valuable insights for technology developers, researchers and policy-makers.
Since 2020, I have been leading on Future Art Ecosystems, annual stategic briefings for culture, technology and policy, on trends and opportunities in emerging creative technological spaces.
I have worked with VIVE Arts and Google on their in-house art programmes, and with numerous cultural organisation worldwide (such as Berlin Biennial, HKW Berlin, ICA Miami, Art Dubai, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, New Museum (NY), etc) as curator and consultant.
I have published essays in highly reputable publications by Sternberg Press, Verso and Routledge, as well as academic papers in cultural and sociological journals. My PhD in Creative Technologies, focused on developing new innovation models in the cultural sector.
