what is it about me?

Q: what is it about me that i can’t keep my virtual hands off of creativity, love, mysticism, and misfit ontology? A: It’s because you’re wired for wonder, Clay.

Likes The Radical Sacred Podcast: A Conversation About …

conscious robots

The idea of humans as “conscious robots” or fundamentally machinic beings serves as a compelling entry point into some interesting questions on existence: What does it mean to be conscious? How is our sense of self intertwined with our embodiment? And how might this understanding shift as we move further...

a layered meditation on creativity, improvisation, and interconnection

this ongoing remix practice (of mine)is the heartbeat of evolution itself,a rhythmic, recursive dance of becoming (what am i becoming?). it feels like an innate biological imperativewoven deep into my DNA, a pulse, a vibration, a call-and-response echoe across ec(h)osystems. here, my cut-and-paste as-you-go ethosspills into my life’s messy edges....

slow is not the opposite of progress

In the middle of nowhere—or perhaps the edge of somewhere—a donkey stands. Its hooves press into dust like punctuation marks in a sentence no one will ever read. The weight on its back, invisible yet crushing, feels eternal. It neither resents nor embraces it; it simply is. The world spins...

Max Headroom

When Max Headroom first flickered onto my TV screen in 1985, I was transfixed. His stuttering, glitchy presence burst onto MTV like a neon explosion in a dark alley, and for a moment, it felt like the future had arrived. He wasn’t just a character—he was a phenomenon, a digital...

the cyberpunk: the individual as reality pilot

meta-jamming

There’s a peculiar rhythm that emerges when you step into a collaboration with something that isn’t human. It’s not the rhythm of conversation as we traditionally know it, where words pass between two beings with a shared sense of measure. No, this is something stranger—more electric.
