My work is concerned with fantasies of technology and cross-cultural representation as they are manifested across the landscape of computer and popular culture. I'm particularly interested in investigating the connections between a fantasized medieval Europe and the current historical moment The task of understanding and exploring this question is one of the central projects of my work and research. I believe the process of understanding the functions of fantasy in relation to new technologies is rooted in the psychological and physical nuances of virtuality, immersion and identification. Fve approached these issues mostly though works that experiment with variations and modifications of structures familiar from film, computer games and consumer culture - working in the boundaries between documentary film and video game, real and virtual bodies, functionality and fantasy.
