Side Projects
Began in 2021 as short fiction and now experimenting with using version control via GitHub as a tool for editing a longer literary work. The idea behind this is also in progress...
(i.e. is using GitHub here just a tool for me as a writer? is the point of making it public more of a personal goal to overcome perfectionism but I don't expect an audience, or can I explore what "open source" could mean in an art context?)
Co-organized weekly meetups and virtual studio sessions with an international group of multimedia artists and writers
