Cyborg ART, Bio Art, psychogeography

Skin modifications and cyborg features including NFC implants and a magnet, used for non-verbal communication interfaces and research in accessibility (specially autism), for composing music, video and games, and innovation in future tech, power shifts and diversity.
Psychogeography, architectural systems and transforming body movement, navigation and my sense of the ground by jumprunning in kangoo jump shoes for several years, also creating patterns unknown to automated cars and surveillance tech, similar to my face brandings and tattoos, and mask series that are unreadable for facial recognition software. I also direct stage shows and labs/hackathons where those innovations are used live. Videos available here.

Drone mapping during a residency with the Finnish BioArt Society, and Microneurography recordings for my audio works.

Film

I am mainly a film director but I also have experience and education in script writing, story architecture for transmedia, producing, costume design, set design, photography, stunts, location scouting, casting, scientific consultation, marketing and community management, as well as R&D, design and consulting for immersive media and new technologies. My work spans from art house and experimental, to music videos, projection mapping, interactive documentaries and installations, and TV including LARP and live features intertwining with broadcasting. It is also influenced by my work in the game industry, and I have a focus on new and diverse narratives. I am the first director to implant a video link in my own body, and I have made soundtracks through biodata like heart beats and nerve signals. The last 7 years I have also been lecturing at universities and speaking at conferences, mainly about design fiction, transmedia and game design and digital culture. I have a Master degree in film curation and a couple of awards, all listed at www.isdrake.com
I have several projects in the pipeline and look for producers and funding, email for collaborations.
