Speaking

2023
Copenhagen, DK

An experimental talk + performance sharing fragments on 'Domain Naming' for Kristoffer Tjalve's Naive Yearly.

'Domain naming' explores naming as placemaking. Domain names extend questions of identity, territory, & colonialism onto digital space.

As language is world-shaping, names draw borders, territories, and relations. Online, this is literally so: names identify domains of control..

2023
Toronto, CA

On narrative, power, and the inherent role of technologists as mythmakers. This experimental talk opened up Causal Islands, a conference about the 'future of computing', weaving threads about toolmaking, authorship, distribution, and the capture of culture through technology.

Isn't story the original technology?
