Author Information

Daniel Binns is a tinkerer-theorist exploring technology's impact on storytelling and media cultures. A leading scholar on digital creativity and media transformation, Daniel has published on AI-generated media, Netflix documentary style, drones, game engines, and the evolution of media genres including the war film and superhero media. Rebecca Najdowski is an artist-researcher exploring how we visualise climate change through imaging technologies. Through experimental approaches to photographic media, Rebecca investigates the mediation of ecological systems and environmental transformation. Her creative research uses analog experimentation, 3D photogrammetry, and generative AI to build frameworks that question conventional representations of nature.
