I am an artist and ruliologist. My work explores computation through rule-based material systems, weaving, sculpture, and philosophical inquiry.

I am interested in the foundational role of difference, in symmetry as an affordance, and in the catalytic role of constraint.

I make art for robots and humans to enjoy together.

For over thirty years, I have explored the limits of what data, subjective knowledge, and computation can indicate about our uncertain future.

In the mid-90s, I was a research assistant to Ron Howard at Stanford University, where I was a doctoral candidate in Decision Analysis and Ethics. At Smith College, I studied Philosophy and Logic with Tom Tymoczko. While still in high school, I took computer science and math classes at Princeton University.

I taught Forecasting at Columbia Business School. Now, I am actively involved with the Wolfram Institute and the Active Inference Institute.

Currently, I am working on projects related to computational rule-following.

I’m thinking about how transitions can be managed with the simplest possible rules, applied over an expanding set of bead quality permutations. The surfaces that emerge from my work offer so many little visual puzzles: they ask rigorous aesthetic questions that the system eventually answers. These woven worlds are really beautiful to see and inhabit.

I am also advocating for a structured approach to thinking about art for robots and other non-human intelligences.

Works on paper accompany the research, using drawing to study structure, attention, and visual inference.

After all, why should computers have all the fun?
