log / 260506-competitive-suffering

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.

log / 251201-attribution

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

log / 251011-less-is-more

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.

log / 250624-arc

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…

“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,…

log / 241220-underselling

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,…

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…
