Research

I research psycho/socio/political effects of digital technologies. My initial research in iconics evaluated deconstruction of their design architecture for 'target' media and audiences. Analyses disclosed how iconic media clips are structured, what inherent rhetorics are employed and deployed across the cybernetwork, and where responsibilities lie for iconic media creation, choreography, and distribution. Beneath such critique was the gnawing concern over why global threats to balances of power and people exist, and, how those threats might be leveraged against ubiquitous use and persistence of iconics in the present world war. Deeper study moves my iconics research into autopoiesis, allopoiesis, and the cognitive field of new artificial intelligence with aLife.
