| A longer-running project will be to explore the sculptural and generative use of semiconducting materials other than silicon. A number of historical experiments that relate to precursors of our present-day solid-state electronic technology will be re-enacted, with the aim to develop new devices that speculate on how our technology could have been and can still be different. | A longer-running project will be to explore the sculptural and generative use of semiconducting materials other than silicon.

| Theoretical investigations take Lambros Malafouris' material engagement theory and Karen Barad's agential realism as a starting point. Currently I am reading about the philosophical and cultural history of chemistry (Isabelle Stengers, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Hélène Metzger, Esther Leslie) and about ways to apply Whitehead to thinking about technology (Anne Fairchild Pomeroy, Mark Hansen). | Theoretical investigations take Lambros Malafouris' material engagement theory and Karen Barad's agential realism as a starting point.
