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.”

wip site.. to me, it's important to make your visitors watch all your links wistfully float across the screen until they softly disappear—testing patience as you wait until the clouds drift by once again

I’ll be giving an online Screen Walk next Wednesday, 12/13 at 10AM PT/6PM UK—a durational desktop performance of popups, feedback loops, & browser histories... I've been thinking about 'hypertext' as a mode performance as it is a medium.

new york! doing my most ambitious performance ever on october 18th – a durational desktop performance about faith, containers, and femininity

on the erasure of palestinian life & death under a digital occupation, by mara cavallaro

"...we, and our words, are part of a narrative war; that language is a tool, to be used for revolutionary ends; and that one of those ends must be a free Palestine"

For the Arena x Naive Yearly annual, I expanded on my talk 'Domain Naming' – a study of how "naming is placemaking", with identity & DNS alike embroiled with questions of language, control, imperialism, and territory...

ᝰ https://ambient.institute/domain-naming

For the past four years, I've been collecting YouTube comments left under love songs...

❤️ https://thesoundof.love is my collection of these – centering the love, loss, and longing by the stories we tell in the comments section.. now with 500+ comments + song recs curated by me

from my nyc performance last month at CultureHub, a devotion controlling 5 computers at once, dreaming of becoming a divine interface myself

In my first piece for WIRED's new software criticism column, I wrote about Google’s relentless pursuit of answering our questions and whether having our questions answered is what we really need.
