His research is situated within futurist discourses surrounding the Smart City, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Everything (IoE).

He is a project leader of Future Projections, a funded initiative for the Creative Arts Research Institute (CARI) at Griffith University. This work involves conceiving, designing, producing, post-producing, and documenting non-traditional creative research projects in collaboration with various academic disciplines and city stakeholders.

Nina Rajcic is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and developer exploring new possibilities of human-machine relationships. Her doctoral thesis focused on unpacking the links between language and the self, exploring the role of narrative in the synthesizing of meaning and the constructing of identity. Her broader research investigates the nature of human-machine relationships in an increasingly posthuman world, ultimately seeking to offer new rituals that produce shared meaning in the human and non-human assemblages of today. Nina’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Tretyakov Gallery Moscow and ZKM Karlsruhe. In 2022 she was a finalist in the Women in AI awards for her contributions to research in generative AI.
