Disrupting the status quo and opening space for new visions

shows in the fall, beta testers, partnerships, and starting a team

Since the start of the year, I’ve been working on and off on we were online, an online multiplayer world that turns the entire internet into a living, shared space.

on positive visions for the future and cultivating a culture of dreaming

on building free public infrastructure for enjoyment

disposable software, scrap vs trash, being honest and sharing it

arbitrage, playing the meta game, and the nature of water

"light apps" and a separate internet only for phones

China's perfected capitalism, the abundance of creation, and the invisible humans who keep it running

pushing bounds, making studies, and becoming nature

[TI-23] being seen through experience and personal mantras

why the bots will never win and just hanging out online

an ode to a departing piece of art

notes on curation, seeing, and tuning to new forms of perception

the web of fateful encounters behind reality

on communal websites in sculptures, the title of this newsletter, and perpetual energy

making something with feeling

[TI-19] examining our devices as subjects & objects rather than foils

on believing in yourself, operating in an adversarial system, and fear as a direction for change

[TI-18] an interlude on what I care about by detailing it's opposite, or the kind of technology i find so wrong

returning to basics, embracing entanglement, invite me to be your creative-in-residence

returning to basics, embracing entanglement, invite me to be your creative-in-residence

a belated gift guide & how my opinion changed on gifts

[TI-17] a world of computation all around us and infinite possibility

[TI-16] fine arts agency, interventions & subversions, the punctuated pause between every whirlwind

deciding to just do things, accruing the universe's energy, and living the life I yearned for

[TI-15] on museums, public art, and other environments that offer us a new normal

on the burden of freedom and the institution of dreaming

[TI-14] a reflection on in(ter)dependence, asking for help, and acknowledgements

[TI-13] webstones, mobile apps, and intimate handheld computing experiences

what has passed, what's to come, and an ask for help

what has passed, what's to come, and an ask for help

[TI-12] on carrying my website around, tangible computing, and computing shrines

First, a warm welcome to new members :) I suspect many of you found your way here from my guest post in Elan Ullendorff’s newsletter: Be Specific.

the things we make for the people and things we care for

my growing internet toolshed

"...everything we do is at some level research for the next poem"

learning to hear your voice & listen to your instinct for taste

I like newsletters that feel more like dispatches than editorialized posts.

finding paths to move forward

towards environments that empower us to invent new ways of expressing to each other

(spoilers alert) who am I?

the software i've made for me and my friends

or how to bring great ideas to the world

weird web stuff, halt and catch fire, believing in dreaming

"id like to give myself the permission to fill my time with attending to the things and people i love"

less intellectual and more spiritual, less arguing for and more sitting with a particular feeling

if we are to hallucinate, let us choose the kind of vision we picture
