"Dimensional Text" is an event series collaboration between Chain Arts and Slought Foundation.
The dimensional text series is an investigation into the ways that language can be presented off the page. It presents language work that steps away from the book, the podium, or the conventional reading.

His films have been exhibited in the New York Film Festival Views from the Avant Garde, the London Film Festival, Tokyo's Image Forum Festival, and the Whitney Museum.
