Laurier Rochon I like networks, euphemisms, maps, CSS and steak. Some time ago I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - survived and moved on to art school, this time using conspicuously vague arguments to justify my work.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.
