Thomas is an experimental audiovisual artist whose work explores computational ecologies through a range of digital and physical media. With a background in cinematic and performing arts, Thomas uses code, computation and sound design to create expansive performative experiences, using custom software and hardware instruments to develop bespoke performance methodologies.
His work is formed by a collage of hacked electronics, computing, live-coded synesthesia and hand built instruments. Examining the role of technology upon contemporary consciousness, his work traverses site-specific performance, lighting, moving image and speculative fiction.
He is interested in the ecologies of computing and digital technologies and his work is rooted in research around digital collectivism and human computer interaction in interactive art. Thomas designs creative tools to enact collective social change through making, play and performance. Guided by research into permacomputing and network communication protocols, he uses salvaged components and obsolete technologies to synthesise new tools and instruments.
