About

As a boy growing up in the mentally repressing trenches of sprawling Canadian suburbia, I spent most of my time playing outside. I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - I had long hair and surely lost any moral agency, already. I survived and moved on to art school, this time using conspicuously vague arguments to justify my work. Currently in Rotterdam, I am hoping to simultaneously learn new binary tricks and restore my faith in humanity.

Part of / working on

  • This is a repository of art/cultural/personal work, collabs with other artists and clients. Includes shows/conferences as well as other things I enjoy.
  • I have been board director/web guru at this company since 2005. <3 industry.

Reading notes

I need to take notes on things I read, otherwise my mind forgets. And then it's like I never read it at all.
