2024 — 2025 · daily memorial & data journalism
Requiem Diurnus
A daily memorial. An automated system searched news reports of femicide across some twenty-five countries
and transformed each verified report into image-text works — multilingual poems and symbolic images,
released under Creative Commons. Its images are symbolic compositions, never portraits of
victims. The machine kept the record no one else was keeping, day after day; the project holds
it as memory, not spectacle.

A peer-reviewed study in Texto Digital (2026) · analyzed by Claudia Kozak (2024) · prologue by Brenda Romero · central work of the Sacramento State Library exhibition Femicides: Shattering the Silence of Violence Against Women.
2025 · generative-ai short film
The Human Futures Market
An eighteen-minute film — made, in its own description, entirely with generative AI — in which seven
corporate AI traders price a woman's life from birth to death, and their predictions begin to shape the
life they price. The film is also its dataset: valuations, search histories and probabilities are part of
the argument. The traders need no malice — only to measure, predict, and profit from being right.

Principles for Cognitive & Pedagogical Sovereignty
The domain's closing argument in written form — a bilingual framework for AI in higher education, built on
two complementary perspectives, cognitive and pedagogical: the privacy of thought, the agency of the
learner, and the defense of academic labor. Authored as a position, offered as a framework.
