His research spans Contemporary Art, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision, Representations of War in Lens-Based Media, Visual Cultures of the Anthropocene, Environmental Humanities, Animal Studies, Petrocultures of the Middle East, and Digital Heritage. His 2018 monograph Posthumous Images: Contemporary Art and Memory Politics in Post-Civil War Lebanon (Duke University Press) examines memorialization through contemporary art, while his current book project analyzes artists' critical engagements with AI systems and automated visual perception.
Recent publications demonstrate thematic consistency across ecological concerns, conflict documentation, and cross-species relations, with works appearing in Visual Anthropology, American Art, and Burlington Contemporary.
