Remaining creative in code and design feels like a mess currently. As artists compete for the attention of a public that fails to make sense of what they consider art, programming thrives on a safe distance to the ones it impacts the most. Draw pictures to throw away. Write code that doesn't run.

A pixelated bee flying over a field of yellow marigold flowers. At the bottom, a stylized caption reads "pollen," while an overlaid text box contains a block of pseudo-code resembling a programming snippet. The code appears to simulate a bee collecting pollen, iterating through flowers in a patch while the bee has energy, and storing the gathered pollen.

I was honored to be the artist behind this amazing team's portraits. Even though my time in Vienna was brief, I am thankful to leave a bit of myself with people who shaped my research goals. Please consider following their amazing work as I finish the last drawing! www.instagram.com/accesstech.h...

I'm not very good at writing witty posts, so here's an illustration where I tried to make sense of something something baudrillard something something simulacra

A humanoid figure crouches on an unrolling, scroll with a map and people on it. The figure's body is a blend of stone and smoke, with a cracked, fragmented texture and wispy curls of black smoke emanating from its head. Its feet are composed of pink, brain-like structures resting on skulls.
