What the site is going to be is always dependent on the relational states of matter and thought that bring its content into an event-based state that constantly shifts. Hence, the attempt is to enable a wider network of relations felt and experienced in dialogue with the ecologies I move through.

As a spring-board of my own thoughts on the ideas and materialities I create bonds with, I am going to build a molecule of this enterprise as a fold that opens to the outside. Refraining from representation this is less about my personality, my whatsoever achievements or academic career, but essentially about the motion felt in thought. I am aiming at making this motion felt. Based on my own experience this motion has not always been with me but found in a moment of crystallization once I engaged myself with cultures of electronic music (see MA Thesis abstract here). The lineage that has been developing since then will be part of another story in another place. What is of relevance here is the sensational movement felt in motion and thought in the relational or transversal ecologies of becoming that we are part of.

Such transversal ecologies guide my research through various assemblages of collective becoming through thought in motion and research creation (please see my PhD Thesis abstract here).
