About
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 Later,I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - I had long hair and surely lost any moral agency, already.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.
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.

- Co-founded CEASE, a non-profit in Montreal, which has a blog, ROBOT LIBRE!.
- I am usually very doubtful of things, clean at all times and keep an eye out for apartment leaks in Montreal.
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.
