I'm a writer, curator, and communications strategist based in Portland, Oregon. I think about attention, not mindfulness (although not not mindfulness), but the political economy of who gets to think what and the infrastructure that creates the container for those thoughts. I work at the intersection of media theory, narrative change, and governance-as-art, with a foot in grassroots organizing and a foot in speculative creative practice.

My active projects sit where these concerns converge. Peripheral Forms is a nomadic platform for digital art that I've run for years and am currently rebuilding as a collectively governed space, complete with a constitution drafted live as aesthetic intervention. The Artifact Institute Dispatches are a series of speculative transmissions drawing on the I Ching, antimemetic theory, and archaeological method, published through a fictional research institute that may or may not be having a breakdown.

I came to this work through nearly a decade of door-to-door fundraising and nonprofit communications, years of approaching strangers and believing in them. That canvasser's instinct still shapes everything: the conviction that people are worth the friction of democratic encounter, even when frictionlessness is the dominant aesthetic value of our time.

I'm pro-AI and anti-neoliberalism and the impulse to make everything into a market. I build my own tools. I write in the long tail of inference, where the edges define the center.
