Biography

Ami is an interdisciplinary researcher, artist, and creative technologist based at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, where she works as a Specialist Technician in Machine Learning, Web Design, and Visual Programming. Her teaching supports undergraduate and postgraduate students across a range of courses including MA Fashion Media and Communication, MA Fashion Photography, MA Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming, and MA Fashion, Film and Digital Production, with a focus on the development of interactive installations, generative systems, and responsive interfaces.
Ami’s teaching methodology combines critical theory with technical fluency, guiding students in the use of creative tools and software, including TouchDesigner, Figma, Python-based programming, and wearable sensor technologies. She fosters curiosity-driven learning that encourages ethical and experimental approaches to technology, supporting students in embedding digital processes into narrative, performance, and visual communication.
She is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her research explores the intersection of performance art and the philosophy of technology, with a focus on the embodied, sensual, and affective dimensions of computation. Drawing on the writings of Gilles Deleuze, Karen Barad, and Anna Kornbluh, she examines how algorithms can function as ethical and temporal mediators, resisting dominant paradigms of acceleration and immediacy.
Her performative practice transforms intimate materials, such as personal letters and real-time biometric data, into poetic and durational encounters through AI generative systems. These works subvert extractive digital norms by centring endurance, care, and slow mediation.
Her research contributes to critical discourses on artificial intelligence, affect theory, trauma studies, and embodiment, reframing posthuman subjectivity through artistic practice and technological experimentation.
