I’m a PhD Candidate and a critical design researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, focusing on sustainability and ethics of Creative AI/AI arts with a background in Human-Computer Interaction and Design for Change. My recent research work has included more-than-human and feminist environmental post-humanities inquiries on AI arts, as well as studies on culture, materiality, and imaginaries of environmental sustainability in the context of AI arts. For example, my recent studies have focused on using speculative methods in studying imaginaries, aiming to understand the values that get embedded into the design of these technologies. I have also examined Creative-AI technologies from perspectives of feminist, more-than-human care, and studied AI-enabled visual cultures from feminist media studies and designerly perspectives. Current research interest lies in critically examining the ethical underpinnings of AI art technologies and diversifying the values engaged in constructing their technological-material-cultural futures.
