Winter is a William Golding Junior Research Fellow in the Arts & Humanities at Brasenose College, University of Oxford, and holds a postdoctoral research position in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. He holds a BA from the University of Southern California (USC), an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), and a DPhil from the University of Oxford (Oxon). His research focuses on intersections between contemporary art, experimental music, and international cinema, with a particular emphasis on narrative theory and practice-based research.

Current projects include Underdetermined: The Art of Welcomed Misregard, a book examining tactical uses of disregarded techniques across art forms, and Åra, a fiction film set in the Stockholm Archipelago. Recent publications span film criticism, collaborative art projects, and experimental music recordings. Winter has held visiting roles at institutions like The Royal College of Art and has contributed to interdisciplinary projects such as the vinyl recording The Black Sections. His work often bridges theory and practice, engaging with Deleuzian concepts and post-avant-garde methodologies.

Winter's research interests include the terrane-image (a Deleuze-inspired concept), geographic storytelling, and the relationship between art and ideology. He actively collaborates with artists and scholars across disciplines, as seen in his co-authored works with Anders Edström and contributions to journals like Balthazar—tidsskrift for filmkritik. His projects frequently interrogate historical undercurrents in art, music, and film, emphasizing overlooked techniques and their cultural implications.
