Web/graphic design, moving image, sound and artistic enquiry into hardware/software/code.
Code Based Work
Collaborative Projects
Oscar Cass-Darweish is a digital practitioner with skills in web/graphic design, video, sound and creative coding. Practice in these areas extends to artistic inquiry concerned with the struggle for autonomy at the limits of digital modes of representation. Aesthetic and critical methods from part of a Critical Technical Practice that aims to figure human-technical relationships in the space of hardware, software and code.
Opaque technical processes are deconstructed and re-presented to allow for alternative modes of understanding through performative engagement. Interaction with audiovisual aspects of surveillance related models that shape online/offline spaces can clarify some computational logics while highlighting the need for non-representational modes of critique for others.
