The cost of having an interesting life is spending Sunday in a panic trying to explain it in paperwork to the bureaucracies of multiple countries I’ve lived in.

The pain when you love something you wrote but you have to delete it anyway bc you changed your mind about what you wanted to say.

I don’t know why but it’s impossible for my brain to accept that it’s 2025. I know it was 2024 last year but I still keep thinking we’re in 2026. 🫠

I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.

Come here me talk about what hand painting orchids has to do with robotics and AI. Beyond the hype, what are the strengths and limitations of the technological creative tools?
CLB Galerie, Berlin, this Saturday 1.2 from 1pm, part of the EACVA conference.

Anyone in Berlin next Wednesday? Hope to see you at the opening of You & Me, a group show at FWR Galerie in Mitte. I was invited by one of my favourite painters Dennis Rudolph and will be showing an embroidered painting, Primordium 3 (2022).

My media art digital thinkers #StarterPack is full! This is a joy, because it means Bluesky is now bursting with the kind of people I want to share a community with. But it's also sad, because there are plenty more people I would love to add. We need 150+++ starterpacks please @bsky.app
