Why AssistiveLab

AssistiveLab began as something deeply personal.

As a neuromuscular disease gradually reduced my motor abilities, I had to reinvent the material conditions of my intellectual and artistic work. What started as a pragmatic necessity — simply to keep writing, working, creating — slowly evolved into a space for experimentation and reflection.

AssistiveLab is a multifaceted project.

It is both the sharing of a lived, situated experience and a platform for documenting technical solutions and hands-on adaptations developed through daily practice. It is also a place for theoretical reflection.

Here, you will find prompt architectures, 3D modeling experiments, hardware setups, and digital workflows. But you will also encounter a broader inquiry into how technical infrastructures shape our capacity to act, think, and relate to others.

This site is built around transmission and collaborative refinement. The solutions presented here are documented so they can be discussed, adapted, and improved by others.
