It examines the ways in which technological opacity or abstraction has been exploited by capitalists and hucksters to elevate human labour into a speculative asset, before harvesting this surplus value to consolidate their power and devalue the labour upon which they are built (and often … Read More

Disorientation is a love letter to my years as a ceramic teacher at summer camp. I spent time interviewing past coworkers and collecting their stories from their years as counselors and as campers, and combined them into a leisurely choose-your-own-adventure narrative experience, where you wander aimlessly for three days, listen to nostalgic ramblings, uncover camp scandals, and make a mosaic … Read More

My third major project, Stone Moons, circa 1996-1999, was declared dead at Cybermountain 1999. I had overrun the buffers of Storyspace with multiple n-ary links (one word, many destinations), names in the links, images for navigation, and so on. Well, with 491 nodes and 6,000 links, what do you expect? WSUV students have now delved into the old computer Storyspace … Read More

This work repurposes code used in Taper #11: Parallels, for my work ‘Wan Wan’ (previously long listed for the NMWP). Here I have looked at young men arguing on the internet and decided upon some cliché phrases used in an attempt to cause insult.

A Year Measured in Walks is an interactive digital non-fiction story based on my own lived experience. I wrote this story first as a personal narrative, but redesigned it in Figma so it could be experienced rather than simply read. The work uses scrolling, pacing, pauses, and minimal visual elements to slow the reader down and mirror how grief, care, … Read More

This major expansion and revision of “At the Guggenheim” uses CapCut (an AI video generator) to bring the paintings in the Guggenheim Museum to life and tell the unspoken (and secret) story of the tour guide. Normally, the word “text” refers to standard text on a page (either online or off), but in this digital narrative, “text” can also be … Read More

Woven with illustration, text, music, and soundscapes, this work explores the complex dynamics of human connection—specifically the nuances found in relationships with parents, friends, lovers, and even random people who bring unexpected warmth. As an … Read More
