My research and art-practice turn experiences of fear and defeat into generators of pleasure and vision: I use performing arts, films, social media and storytelling – to explore and construct worlds of erotic, professional and social disaster. I read criminals, queers and artists through the prism of media, queer and aesthetic disciplines. My transmedia work/performance lecture ‘’How to Use Gay Nazis in Job Interviews’’ was presented in performance, film and art festivals but also in academic conferences, symposiums and online communities. My current project Transmedia Labs of Storytelling focuses on social-media aesthetics, queer pleasure and wild styles of exposure: I am interested in new ways of making, understanding and launching art – against the discomforts of precarious and vulnerable styles of life.
