This visual essay examines the parallel organisational frameworks of extractivism as applied to material resources, data, and biometric information.
The visual component, created using image-to-image translation models, analyzes the subtle connections between language and imagery, revealing inherent biases and flaws within these tools.
In collaboration with visual artist Arianna Iodice

Teaming up with the Autonomy Institute, I contributed to a research project on cloud kitchens, culminating in a short film ๐ and a comprehensive report. The report delves into the transformative potential of cloud kitchensโor 'dark kitchens'โin redefining urban food systems and labour dynamics.

In March 2023 G.I.T launched its first film project: Montanha Invertida [Inverted Mountain]. We made it to support the struggle against the planned open-pit lithium mine in Covas de Barroso, Northern Portugal. Through 3D modelling and cartographic analysis, we reveal some of the destruction this mine would bring, to the region and further afield. Made in collaboration with people living and working in the region, we visualise some of the oversights and risks buried in the environmental impact assessments and mining plans.

Nรฃo ร s MINAS no BARROSO is a movement in defense of the natural, social and cultural heritage of the municipality of Montalegre.
The community is currently fighting against the interests of mining, which insists on taking the natural, social and cultural values of the re- gion (and the country), opposing any type of interest that is not its preservation, defense and protection.
We supported the community of Barroso in drafting an envioromental assessment to be distributed in the form of a leaflet for the forthcoming protest and events organised for the coming months.
This is a leaflet showing the potential impact of lithium mining in Covas do Barroso, visualising the plans submitted by Savannah Resources. The research and visualisations were produced by a team consisting of Godofredo Pereira, Jacob Bolton, MingXin Li and myself in collaboration with local organisations and activists Unidos Em Defesa de Covas do Barroso, Minas Nรฃo, PNB - Povo e Natureza do Barroso Unidos pela Natureza Associacao Ambiental, Extinction Rebellion Portugal which planned the recent protests rally in Boticas.
The text was written by the local organisations. The design of the leaflet is by Dayana Lucas.

For generations, indigenous communities in northern Chile have faced challenges stemming from land loss to mining operations and political frameworks rooted in the Pinochet-era constitution. An analysis of media sources and dialogues with residents of the Atacama Desert highlights the socio-political and environmental pressures affecting indigenous livelihoods. Government policies have exacerbated conflicts, often resulting in displacement as communities seek improved living conditions.
This study underscores the marginalization of indigenous knowledge systems and territorial sovereignty, which are frequently sacrificed in favor of industrial interests and conservative political agendas. The concept of "performed territoriality," as articulated by Gabrielฤ Grigorjevaitฤ in her thesis Territorial Disputes and the Neo-Extractivist Paradigm, provides a critical framework for understanding how territory, resources, infrastructure, and knowledge form an interconnected ecology of life in the Atacama region.
