Anyone in #london tomorrow want to help out a struggling independent artist? My beautiful, queer show about finding out you're an alien is at Bread and Roses Theatre in Clapham. Only one person is coming. Even one other person would double our attendance!

I need a few friends in #london to help me spread the word about my interactive queer sci-fi show Assigned Earth at Birth, at Bread and Roses Theatre on 11th and 12th December.

We make this show with our own open-source software that allows the audience to […]

You should come and see this in-person performance of my interactive queer sci-fi play Assigned Earth at Birth, at Bread and Roses Theatre in London on 11th or 12th December: https://app.lineupnow.com/event/talos-v-science-fiction-theatre-festival-assigned-earth-at-birth

A hybrid performance of Assigned Earth at Birth is coming to London in December, as part of the TALOS V science fiction theatre festival! https://post.intrapology.com/news/talos-v-science-fiction-theatre-festival-assigned-earth-at-birth/

Some (groups of) parks, mapped with Marcelo Prates’s Prettymaps https://github.com/marceloprates/prettymaps
All using my custom preset that focuses on green spaces and leisure / culture. Do you recognise any of them? I love how each has its own characteristic shape.

Map of regions supported by the UK government’s Department for Culture Media and Sports (DCMS) Create Growth programme. A frustrating time to be running a creative business in South Yorkshire.

My workspace for the afternoon in Roscoff, France. Planning some queer tabletop games activities to explore young people's sense of place in Rotherham. Overheard the hotel reception worker talking about her journey from Ukraine to Portugal to here. "Habaita" by Fairouz is playing from a tinny radio.

Absolutely love being able to create a custom interface for every performance. This is one of those joys of creativity online that every artist should get to experience. I hope if we get to keep making the show we’ll be able to keep raising the bar on our digital set design. https://Intrapology.com

Some really wonderful responses to the Intrapology performance on Sunday 🥰 It’s taken so much work by so many people to get here, and I’m gratified that everyone’s efforts are showing through in the final result.

Final week before the Intrapology performance on Sunday! Absolutely gorgeous live interactive performance about alien anthropologists whose worlds have broken apart. Our biggest challenge is actually reaching audiences - please share!

I did that Open Psychometrics test

“So what are you working on at the moment?” you ask.
I take a deep breath…

[Testing compound emoji]

I just learned that my phone can combine emoji together into disturbing hybrid forms, e.g. here's a smile showing teeth and all the teeth are also smiling, with smaller teeth inside. Do you see this too?

Not pictured: I saw the David Hockney piece at Aviva Studios. It’s a video essay projected on four walls and the floor, and uses this format to argue for a way of seeing beyond single point perspective. A good example of immersive work that connects form with content!

Today Alexis Bushnell shared jaz-michael king’s https://mastodon-near.me, which arranges local Mastodon instances on a map. I feel some bittersweet validation, as no city or region in the North of England is represented - could addressing this gap help local […]

Yesterday was my graduation ceremony, a year after my Viva and just over ten years after I enrolled. I welled up a little when the Vice Chancellor said that a PhD means you have “done something that nobody else has ever done before”.

Why is nobody talking about this? Despite massive increase in incidences of "murdery", it is still not in the dictionary, even though it clearly has different connotations than "murderous". My first memory of its use is Buffy Season 6 (2001), but it is also […]
