Studio / Current Work

Current studio routes: instruments, rooms, image systems, sound work, fabrication, and care as material.

Learning / Teaching

Courses, workshop structures, and teaching systems where tool literacy and documentation are part of the practice.

Systems / Distribution

Publishing, machine care, documentation, classroom infrastructure, and maintenance as public structure.

Atlas / Maps

The orbital map: tools, scenes, learning, methods, and proof relationships without the full manual on the landing page.

Archive / Research Nodes

Earlier photographs, rooms, objects, and records remain active research nodes feeding the current practice.

Archive note

Archive is research, not aftermath

The earlier work stays visible because it is still doing work: feeding current questions about memory, threshold, consent, maintenance, and shared structure. Start with lineage notes or the research notebook.
