Autonomous Memory 

media artist / director / programmer 

The project explores the paradox of human–machine where comfort and control cannot coexist. A semi-autonomous system that supports the rebuilding of agency after trauma. A participant rides inside a car through fragments of memory in Los Angeles. The journey moves from urban noise and conversation toward a more internal space, where safety and listening are re-experienced through shifting landscapes.
