Petagogy, Criticism, and Invited Lecturing.
PAACADEMY Content

Starting in 2023, I presented my AUTOMATA Lightshow at CDNEXT15, and this then led to a fruitful relationship with the platform over the last few years. The first large-scale project I completed with them was my Environment-Reactive Computation (With Ladybug) workshop in March 2024.

After this, I was invited to contribute to their book, Future[Tectonics], where I critiqued AI tools for their asymmetrical understanding of cultural elements. Plus, I investigated their lack of morality, leading to imperceptible biases becoming embedded in these systems. Next, I created the Grasshopper Plugins 101 series, included in the PAACADEMY Beginners Bundle.

In August 2025, I was invited to lecture at Parametric Architecture's Design Tech Talk 6.0 on my Sentient Environment Engine developed for the Wicked Puppies Daycare. I explained the Observe, Calibrate, Simulate workflow and the basic structure for how these three steps come together to create synthetic behavior analogs.
