A website is an act of demanding space for yourself and the people you love and constantly tending that space. It's a way of naming: to take on a URL and courageously ask to be witnessed, visited. I understand certain sites that I frequent as continuous labors of love, whether they're directed to a specific person or something broader. I see making websites and making in general as nothing more than a way of asking to be loved.

That reminds me of rituals again. What is the bread or the website as an artifact or a screenshot in the Wayback Machine alone? A website is not that. It’s not just a package of code, it’s a place where people gathered, it’s a place that was referenced by a network of other sites before its links rotted away. It was once a place where there was life. And when we pass down the ritual of gathering, that's a truer form of preserving. We can't expect for a piece of bread or the site to last forever. But the act of feeding and living onwards will continue to be the most important thing about it.

Web search promised to resolve questions. Instead, it's brought on a soft apocalypse of a truth that's reduced to trivia.

Love this from @chia – “It’s in specific, smaller scale communities that we get people to care for things deeply, truly feel connected with their technologies and communities, and subsequently put in the effort to invest in these spaces and put in the labor of maintenance.”

spoke with anna of usurpator for this lovely interview—"a website can be a poem / a poem can be a website"

for your reading / listening pleasure..!!

A made a 'non-memorial' for the 51st anniversary of martial law, and shared a bit about it with Rappler.

“I am most interested in commemoration as catalysts and interventions. [T]his is an exercise of collective memory more than the impossible act of replicating memory itself.”

snippets from guest lectures at usc, parsons, upenn, & cooper union the past months! 💓 very honored to have shared my practice & projects exploring a more poetic, ambient & intimate internet through creative code, toolmaking, archives, & more :~)
