monome is twenty. we put together a photo collection. part how it happened, part work-art-life entanglement, part disbelief. monome.org/twenty
a friend i hadn't seen for awhile warned me about their affliction, to avoid surprise or judgement, the disease being synthesizer module accumulation, and upon inspection i was relieved, declaring you're ok, i've seen so much worse, yet i sensed my diagnosis was deflating, as if at play was some sort of competitive suffering
seneca said, we suffer more often in imagination than in reality. seneca was born in the year 4 BC, some time before the invention of the Internet.

added scores to hypervisibility
selections from last year now live at drawings
a threshold was crossed. hypervisibility is a new collection of music.
it has occurred to me that, when writing down an idea, i should be also be recording where it came from, as frequently ideas form while walking on a mountain or through a forest i've gotten to know, so that i might give attribution and appreciation for the gift
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw (maybe↗)
to witness someone correcting their bad attitude with the phrase "life is full of mystery"
in order to create (or perhaps simply think or breathe) we require space. and to make space we remove, eliminate, destroy, quit, abandon. and so the unmaking gradually gets associated with the making, and perhaps we lose track of when to switch, that we might go too far in one direction or the other. but also maybe it's all the same.

time passed. three months ago we finished a new revision of the arc. it's a one hundred percent redesign, but the new aspects are not overt. so instead of trying to hype and spotlight the new, we made art. four slowly phasing arpeggios, playing an old beloved synthesizer into analog tape feedback. the projection started as ring juggling captured by jay gilligan, which i then projected onto the…

"wabi tek sabi is way of seeing and living with human craft and technology. like the japanese idea of wabi sabi it has much to do with aesthetics and pleasure, but it is mainly a way to look at, work with, and live with, technology." tom jennings, [wabi tek sabi] , 2011
“Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have.) Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as…

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory’”, Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t — till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’” “But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The…

so at some point you think you know how to do things, that things will go a certain way because you did it before and it was a disaster so you did it again and it was a different disaster but this time you've thought of all of the past and potential disasters, but then also the rules just totally change and all sorts of things can happen that seemed inconceivable, both disasters but also miracles,…

after describing izzzzi to a friend as "barely an idea" i recognized my longstanding disposition towards what might be called the hyperbolic undersell . from the very beginning almost two decades ago the unrehearsed hot sentence from an early monome interview was something like "it doesn't do anything by itself. isn't that wonderful?" this is likely just schizmogenesis in its natural habitat,…
in november i made a lot of drawings. i feel them leaading to something else, but for now you can see some of them here . they'll likely vanish at some point, however.
i finally wrote something about a weird project we've been enjoying with friends for the last six months. it's now open invitation. "it's become a sort of collaborative daily newspaper written by friends. on the surface the parameters feel antithetical: it's ephemeral, it only changes daily, hardly anyone sees it. this is precisely what makes it interesting." [izzzzi] we've been running now for…

"All of this public funding and community involvement has had an enormously beneficial albeit unacknowledged and uncosted effect on the development of Silicon Valley and other hi tech industries. Capitalist entrepreneurs often have an inflated sense of their own resourcefulness in developing new ideas and give little recognition to the contributions made by either the state, their own labour force…
1ST GENT. Our deeds are fetters that we forge ourselves. 2ND GENT. Ay, truly: but I think it is the world That brings the iron. george eliot, middlemarch (1871)
