About my upcoming project
I began experimenting with livestreaming in April 2023, drawn to its ephemeral nature and immediacy. For me, it became a way to bring BerdsCarnival to the streets—not as a spectacle, but as a mode of attention, public engagement, and a means of exhibiting my work beyond the traditional boundaries of a physical space; instead, finding ways to activate the mundane spaces and crevices of Brooklyn that have yet to be explored.
This year, I will bring “3 Pointz Brooklyn” to fruition; Patrolling the perimeter of Brooklyn (a 16-hour live-walk) in one day.
Why livestream?
Livestream is a transient space that bridges two worlds: the street's grit and unpredictability, and the curated stillness of a physical exhibition space.
I’m currently using the medium as a field of study for an ongoing conceptual project I call BerdsCarnival. These “live-walks” are long, real-time journeys across Brooklyn, each starting from my studio in Dumbo and heading toward a culturally significant site in the borough. The walks aren’t just about movement—they’re a ritual, gathering fragments of place and time.
Each stream is a chance encounter. To catch the next one, [sign up for my mailing list].
