Trebuchet featured Alex May in an audio interview published on 4 January 2020. Framed through references to Algorithmic Photography and Flow State, the piece introduced listeners to a practice that uses digital processes not simply to produce images, but to test how time, movement, and perception can be reorganised through technology.

The interview matters because it presents that work in an accessible editorial context rather than an exhibition or conference setting. Instead of isolating one project, it offers a broader account of how May moves between still and moving image, code-based systems, and spatial experience. That makes it a useful record of how the practice was being discussed publicly at the start of 2020, when questions around digital mediation and lived experience were becoming more urgent.

For May, those concerns are continuous across the work. Whether a piece unfolds through projection, virtual space, algorithmic image-making, or interactive systems, the underlying interest remains the same: how technology changes what we notice, what we remember, and how reality is framed. The Trebuchet interview captures that wider position in a concise audio format.
