Film as Fieldwork

Each film on this page serves as a living document—capturing not just images, but atmospheres, impressions, and emergent patterns. These works blur the boundary between research and art, offering glimpses into landscapes, phenomena, and processes that often escape traditional forms of recording. Through careful attention to light, movement, and sensation, each piece becomes a field note in motion: a study of place, energy, and transformation. Whether documenting expeditions, creative processes, or subtle interactions with the living world, these films invite viewers to experience research as a dynamic, embodied act.

  • Film: Research trip to Nuuk, Greenland
    In Nuuk, the threshold between land, water, and sky blurred into something both ancient and unfinished. This research trip was not about observation alone—it was about immersion. Every step through the shifting light, every encounter with ice and stone, was a negotiation with presence itself. Nuuk offered more than landscapes; it offered energetic signatures—fields of feeling waiting to be mapped. The camera became less an instrument of capture, and more a participant, tracing the subtle architectures of emergence that shaped the coastline, the city, and the air between.
  • Cellular Automata Video
    The Gray-Scott Simulator is a real-time rendering tool for a class of reaction-diffusion systems that model how chemical concentrations evolve and spread through space over time. This kind of system produces self-organizing patterns — from spirals and spots to waves and turbulence — which I’ve related to both the ABBA Equation and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) Reaction. Let’s break down how this simulation… Read more: Cellular Automata Video
