Hi :)

I am an artist, writer, organizer and coder. I make work that centers technology, ecology and community power. My work is driven by a deep seated belief in the political power of being present, in dissolving the universal and categorical. What keeps me up at night: what it means to live in an age of technological anxiety, action and ways of being beyond Enlightenment era structures. Some core values: research, design and knowledge building are constant, collaborative processes that require spaces that can hold conflict.

I try to cultivate and nourish community through stewarding spaces, public art, workshops, data visualization and making collaborative tools. I’ve spent the past 6 years as Creative Director at Logic Magazine and now spend much of my time as lead steward of Logic School. In 2020 I published a book, Blockchain Chicken Farm (a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice), finished a web art residency with Akademie Schloss Solitude/ZKM and wrote about place + desire for transmediale. More recently: thinking through automated censorship, language and publics as part of The Future of Memory, being a Civic Media Fellow in 2021 at USC Annenberg, and currently a research fellow at the Center on Race and Digital Justice. If you’re interested in receiving support on organizing and culture building, I am part of Collective Action in Tech’s Embedded Organizers community. I also work part time at Processing Foundation leading the Fellowship program, at the intersection of open source, art and social justice.

Some of the prior projects I've built have been a finalist for the Index Design Awards, featured on CNN, IEEE, Method Science Quarterly, WIRED and The New York Times. I’ve given talks at IAM Weekend in Barcelona, The Conference in Malmö, SFMOMA, Asian Art Museum SF, TED, Harvard University, University of California San Diego Design Lab, Cornell University and more. I've been fortunate enough to be in residency at places like Headlands Center for the Arts and Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Finland. I’ve learned a lot throughout the past decade by working at Meedan, Situ Research and Mapbox.
