Research Interests

Stephen's research is located at the intersections of philosophy, architectural theory, contemporary visual art and experimental digital practice; in particular on the relationships between architecture, urbanism and the citizenship of place. He has published on relations between language, affect and life; image and the machinic as part of a biophilosophy of the contemporary subject; alternative ethico-aesthetic and ecological models for human action including relations to non-human ontologies; ecological citizenship; and the indeterminacy of experimental digital thinking.
