I'm a Polish researcher, educator, architect, consultant, and media artist based in Berlin. My practice is focused on a critical study of digital cultures, developments in information infrastructures, and their relationship with a built environment, exploring the potential for new typologies and practices. I program and prototype spaces, strategies, and world-building methodologies for collective knowledge production and trans-local collaborations through 3D media narratives, events, installations, video/game production, and publishing. As an educator, I work with situated peer-to-peer learning formats, game engines, storytelling, writing, and publishing to discuss ongoing trends in media-urbanism through speculative architectural scenarios.
I recently worked as a digital programmer for Sharjah Architectural Triennial Research Initiative in UAE. I built new formats for hybrid exhibitions, broadcasting, open digital archives, workshop toolkits, and focus groups' digital infrastructure. I'm a designer for Hosting Lands, working on visual strategies, graphic narratives, and hybrid participation methodologies for a slow-growing, 3-year-long decentral international exhibition movement in Denmark. I co-founded You Said You Like Dancing and Monitor Lizard House in Bangkok to explore new open formats for alternative pedagogies and collective joy.

Living Continuity, is a collective inquiry into the challenges, urgency, and potential of working towards spatially just neighborhoods. In current urban policy debates, the neighborhood has emerged as an important scalar construct to understand the systems and processes that shape communities and ecosystems, Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2022

PĒC / After / is a failed competition entry for the Latvian pavilion at the forthcoming Venice Biennale, developed together with @livadudareva and @animali_domestici . The proposal consisted of a fictional speculation on a possible Latvian post-humanist future in 6 chapters, rooting its plausibility around the legacy of the Green Awakening environmental movements that gained particular importance in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Each chapter was meant to set the framework for a workshop/collaboration with a selection of relevant partners from different backgrounds, specifically related to the 6 proposed topics, being architects, artists, and students, but also environmental activists, contractors, and forest managers, to speculate critically, strategically, performatively, and materially on how such a future might look and feel. The initial speculative narrative, proposed as a starting draft, would therefore be challenged, amended and expanded through the 6 workshops.
