An Audio Visual piece that explores racial bias, and white supremacy through computer vision. It’s “Dumb Bitch Computer Vision” because we don’t know if we, the subject are dumb, or is the white capitalist patriarchal gaze that keeps watching us dumb. Technology like most other aspects of present-day life is upheld by white supremacy and when mass surveillance is part of policing society it can become a dangerous concoction of prejudice and misconceptions. Rather than succumbing to the gaze, I'm exploring a playful way to hack the system.

Art Direction, Editing, & Modelling
in collaboration with Cold Archive I worked to promote their Gummo inspired knits. Cold Archive focuses on platforming youth sub-cultures across the globe.
My role in this project was to conceptualise the video idea, model during the shoot. I also worked on the post production, editing both audio and visuals.

Genderless; it is from an alternate dimension. It's my minds creation therefore elements of my emotions and past experiences are prevalent. The body is its acrylic build on the outside, the organs are its physical computing boards with circuits generating energy for the robot to move and beat its heart. The code is its mind where the algorithms of its mindset are programmed. The instance between watching it from afar and not understanding it, as it screeches its claws against the wall, to coming closer to it and interacting with its touch screen beating heart, is the internal shift from lack of knowledge and fear of the unknown to that of emotional and logical understanding.
Deep Dreaming AI, & Premiere Pro
An audio visual piece using deep dreaming artificial intelligence to explore a distant re-imagined memory of my Bangladeshi heritage. The melodic sounds of the Bengali language sounds foreign hearing it come out of my own mouth. The distance and inability to reach the motherland is accentuated for the diaspora by the forever looping lockdown. I ask myself “who am I ?” layered in various waves and animal sounds adding to the deep dream journey.
