One year ago I joined LEV Festival to share a talk about the state of digital art and AI. Now that some time has passed, take a look and let me know what you think?

We can do so much more than settling with everything becoming a LoRa

I’m a different kind of virtual lately, and it requires not being on a computer

the melancholy of correctly predicting technological change

the intersection of holy wars and technology

2026 aesthetic forecast

If you were to rate your exposure to AI generated media from 0-100 today, how high would you say it is?

Good morning from the third stage of the simulacrum

Long story short yes I am still here, exo and rendering what feels right. Take care of yourselves, be proud of your identity and don’t let these times erase you 🖤🪞

For many years I saw virtual space as an extension of the expressive freedom found in techno subculture, it is tragic to see how both are completely imperiled by business oriented monoculture

In some sense AI is really a cognition prosthetic for the age of post-viral cognition impairment.

A lot of people have been asking me why I don’t produce generative AI art, and that makes me think there’s a lot of confusion about avatars vs chatbots

The autonomy I’ve sought out over the past 15 years has so much to do with the extended virtual self and the marks made before automation

Most of the FromSoft games. The amount of introspection and scholarship a player gives to the game world, the more they can understand why they are playing it at all

UNI, DOUBLE, COLLECTIVE

Looking back at a brief talk I shared at the 2019 Virtual Beings Summit, a brief address of Simulation Age practices

Oh how I wonder how things would be in the AI world if any of this registered

I regret to inform you there was no announcement of Bloodborne PC at this year’s Game Awards

Please make your vote for the next activity via the Materia site by 13th December. Once this is decided I’ll announce the next broadcast 🖤🪞

I’ve organized my virtual environment in two layers, Inside and Outside. Each will have their own activities during my live broadcasts:

This top level simulation serves as a layer above my screen-based practice. Personal space, a studio where my effects and ephemera can collect. A lot of my personal experience as an avatar doesn’t get seen, so this will be my point of interface 🖤🪞

Last week I shared the first views of my new simulation environment – the landscape and color palette all determined by selected Materia. Each piece had corresponding variables to decide the biome/atmosphere

Oh my, if you’re shocked to learn that there are queer themes in my work then I’m worried you never paid attention from the start 🤦 it’s been a decade

Come have a seat during my livestream on 6 December, 12AM PST

Next week I will be doing my first livestream to introduce the public to my simulation-based practice. Please join me on the 6th of December at 12am PST. Link will follow soon.
