Thanks! I'm thinking of giving it a try here to see if I can get into a groove again.

I miss the days when I used to post weird philosophical things on Twitter, mostly about XR and multiple realities. For me at least, the X algorithm is not optimized for sharing and community building anymore. How is this site? Should I start posting "liminal" thoughts again?

If you are attending AWE Europe in December, come to the most potentially-totally-out-there presentation I'm preparing with my partner in crime, Belgian artist Peter Vander Auwera. We'll introduce you to the ARG we've been working on for some time.

And I have similar feelings about cool, fancy or hipster looking interiors. Yes, interior design does have an impact on mood. But the obvious thing is that you can be the most misserable person in an office that looks like a Vitra showroom & the happiest in a shed.

I love this concept. The increasing use of technology in architecture has, at this point, reached such monstrous proportions and consequences that I feel inclined to start a movement where drawings are hand traced and 3D models are built out of clay... (have used clay before for massing👌)

Here's the most important take away, in the words of digital culture historian Kevin Kelly: "Our most important thinking machines will not be machines that can think what we think faster, better, but those that think what we can’t think."

Like the moment to moment gameplay of: talk to character -> quest -> go to place -> kill some dudes -> get a bunch of loot -> sell most of that loot -> repeat Just doesn't do anything for me as a short to medium game loop anymore. I'd just rather watch that game in Youtube as background noise now.

I write narrative instead of fixing engine bugs. Maybe we can trade.

@andreeavr.bsky.social is one of my favourite thinkers in this space. Only her can wave philosophy, architecture, design, computer science and more so gracefully. A great and humbling talk on perspectives of perceived reality

Is there a human and a beyond-human reality? This video outlines the mental models I use to think about these things. I call it an "operational framework" because it comes in handy when developing concepts for immersive tech. From a DigitalFUTURES workshop earlier this year. youtu.be/kyLxmIuwFng

Anyone I know or you know familiar with using Unreal for VFX that can be added to real footage?

The concept of mysterious underwater currents that, now and then, shore up valuable ideas immediately rings true for creatives. Here's how reading Jung has turned my doodles into narratives I've been using for work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCb...

First time seeing Jung's archetypes in the form of a spatial diagram. Compared to the traditional wheel, this is vastly more effective. It's also a beautiful example of spatial affordances used to communicate A LOT of abstract ideas on a single page (something comics know all about).

There's something missing in XR storyboarding. I wish we had something more abstract, like a notation for spatial experience. It shouldn't show you things, but help you play them in your head instead. Still working on it, but here's a look at music, dance and poetry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixpu...

@andreeavr.bsky.social is smart and interesting and always up to fascinating projects. If you don’t believe me look up any of the interviews she did with @kentbye.com on his Voices of VR podcast 😺

The mark of a true thinking tool: if you don't save, not much is lost. The tool (whether VR or a sheet of paper) was operating directly on your mind.

The "new" medium is not AR or VR. It's space. It's been around for a long time, and many disciplines, like dance & architecture, have well established methods for turning it into powerful experiences. It's computing that just figured out how to access it. That's what's new.

Hello, Bluesky! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. If we followed each other over there, give me a shout. Looking forward to old and new faces!
