Proof of Culture

Who controls the archive? What gets preserved? And who gets to decide what matters?

Proof of Culture began as a way to think through the questions that kept following me across art, technology and digital culture. It has since grown into a body of work spanning essays, conversations, oral histories and exhibitions.

The format changes. The questions don’t.

Commentary

essays + book

I write about art, technology, ownership, preservation and the systems that determine what enters the cultural record.

Conversations

podcast + oral histories

Long-form conversations with artists, collectors, curators and cultural workers about the work they made, the communities they built and what they witnessed along the way.

Curation

exhibitions + research

The same questions move into exhibition-making and research, bringing works together to document moments that are already becoming history.
