My work explores empirical approaches to evolutionary aesthetics. I am interested in the evolution of art as a social and cultural practice with biological roots, as well as empirical approaches to philosophical questions. In my work, I makes use of cross-cultural, phylogenetic, statistical, and machine-learning approaches. As an artist, I am deeply concerned with the limits of reductionism as it relates to empirical approaches to aesthetics.
