The 👃🏿📓 (NoseBook) site is a personal weblog for online research, articles, tutorials, notes and ideas. It a digital notebook of collected and constructed resources, code snippets, a personal collection of writing and links intended as an "always under construction" knowledge base.
Log This is a page for ongoing tiny updates on my projects and research, including technical notes, code, and screenshots of work in progress. You can subscribe to the RSS feed . 2026-08-14  Today I visited MOMA and saw the Duchamp retrospective. In the…
This summer I participated in my second artist-in-residency at the Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik / Center for Art and Urbanistics, affectionately called ZK/U, in the Moabit neighborhood of Berlin, Germany. I’m writing this up as self-reflection but also because I think it helps to show what I’m working on, my community / “scene”, and I enjoy reading these kinds of reflections and write-ups by…
This is an off the cuff review of Minutiae , which is a minimalist photo app of sorts, described as an anti-social media app, a place to save small moments from life, once a day, over a four year timespan. I spontaneously started writing it a couple minutes after one of the impromptu prompts popped up and I took a photo of my camping gear laid out and felt some calm in the chaos. I initially…
I began writing this post less than an hour after getting rejected for an arts fellowship I applied to. To avoid this being a gripe or rant I’ve captured my initial thoughts that were top of mind but then I’ve waited a couple hours before finishing writing this to make sure it’s tempered with more expansive and generous thoughts. In today’s case, like most things I apply to, the rejection email…
OR: Reinventing a (crappier) Vi(m) This is a post about my new text editing program yvi . I like reinventing wheels. At least I do when it comes to making things like art , craft, food, or code. It’s how I learn. And it’s how I can shape tools or work to fit my own mind. I think because my background is in art, and because I didn’t formally learn Computer Science, despite the fact that I teach it,…
L5 is a creative coding library in the family of Processing/p5 , aimed at artists and learners, and responding to principles of permacomputing . L5 is in alpha, and was initially released in December 2025. It is implemented in Lua and uses the LÖVE framework under the hood. It is free and open source and is developed by a growing community of contributors. This is a roundup blog post on recent…
You can listen to this album mix to accompany reading this post. ZK/U 1 by ExquisiteCorp, kuunsirpale and Ella Prokkola recorded live at ZK/U art residency, Berlin, DE 22 October 2025. ZK/U 1 by ExquisiteCorp, kuunsirpale and Ella Prokkola Later this year I’d like to put out a zine about No-Input Mixing Board Music. But I thought I could start with an introductory blog post! So here we are. In the…
I originally wrote this short post in August 2021 for another online space but am RE-PLANTING it here. I realized that lots of people have never worked in this mode of collectivity, and I thought it would be good to capture down some of what makes them work and how they function. This isn’t a prescriptive post about HOW to organize as an artist collective but just a simple description of how four…
Computational poetry showing stripes and text responding to ICE raids, code in L5 (animation has been shortened, excerpted, color reduced and compressed) I’m not sure if I’ll do a post every month on L5 , the creative coding library I initiated summer/fall 2025 and that is now out in an alpha version, but there’s enough activity happening that it seems like a good idea to capture work and ideas…
Manipulated duotone image of Interworld Media performing at Algorithmic Pattern Salon - Photo edited with didder (dithering, duotone) and imagemagick (file conversion). These are command line shell snippets for useful utilities, sometimes referred to as incantantions . In a way, they are a kind of magic spell. These incantations transform text, images, audio and video. If you’re not a command line…
