Mochu works with video and text arranged as installations, lectures and publications. Technoscientific fictions feature prominently in his practice, often modulated with anxiety, futurity and weird selfhoods, and interspersed with cameos from art history and philosophy. Recent projects have explored cyberpunk nostalgia, corporate horror, mad geologies and psychedelic subcultures.
Mochu is the author of the books Bezoar Delinqxenz (Edith-Russ-Haus + Sternberg Press, 2023), and Nervous Fossils: Syndromes of the Synthetic Nether (Reliable Copy + KNMA, 2022). He is a recipient of fellowships from Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst, Ashkal Alwan, India Foundation for the Arts and The Sarai Programme, with exhibitions at HKW, Whitechapel Gallery, 9th Asia-Pacific Triennial, Sharjah Biennial 13, 4th Kochi-Muziris Biennale and transmediale:BWPWAP.
