As a boy growing up in the mentally repressing trenches of sprawling Canadian suburbia, I spent most of my time playing outside. Later,I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - I had long hair and surely lost any moral agency, already.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. | As a boy growing up in the mentally repressing trenches of sprawling Canadian suburbia, I spent most of my time playing outside.

Laurier Rochon I like networks, euphemisms, maps and CSS. Some time ago I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - it was fun. 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.
