Autography
Autography is an interactive artwork, in the form of a software application, that automatically generates evolving 3D graphic characters that resemble human hand-writing. The intention is to create a form of automatic writing made by a machine (instead of by a human). Automatic writing is commonly understood to be a form of unconscious expression, where a human in a fugue or similar state writes automatically. The writing often resembles hand-writing but tends to look more like scribble. The perceived value of automatic writing is dependent on the apprehension that human beings possess a subconscious (or unconscious) that can be interpreted through the act of automatic writing. The technique was popular amongst early 20th Century aficionados of theosophy and early psychology. Surrealist artists such as Andre Masson used the technique to develop semi-abstract artworks, whilst later authors and artists, such as Henri Michaux and Cy Twombly, employed the technique to develop highly sophisticated paintings and 'writings' that questioned both the authenticity of the artist's mark-making and the semiotic potential of writing.

The Trajectory Cabinet (Digital Version)
This is a covid, no touching, rethinking of the digital version of the Trajectory Cabinet, which, in physical form, transforms the 32 drawers/key presses of a library card catalogue into an interactive artwork. Pulling the drawers open and pushing them closed is how the work is read and each drawer connects to a place on a map of Brisbane, triggering poetic elements. Overall, the Trajectory Cabinet tells the story of environmental destruction and consequences in Brisbane, Australia. There are 32 drawers/key presses total, each with their own poetic/artwork element. There are also ten hidden artworks, each generated by secret combinations of drawers.
