Searching for Justice Revisiting some writing I did for a rough experimental bit of group work a couple of months ago, I felt there was more to learn from it so I'm going to extract, rephrase and abridge some of the justification I put together for it at

We're back! ~1500 words you never asked for! But first a reminder that I'm exhibiting work in London this weekend (4th - 6th May) at Brompton Cemetery Chapel. Opening afternoon is on Saturday the 4th til 6pm, I've heard that there will be tea

Important notes about Small Alterations Small Alterations exhibits some unanswered questions which could lead to ethical complications if unresolved. The work is perhaps best expressed as an interactive installation piece rather than as openly distributed software. There are concerns in enabling a user to mechanically rewrite news articles; even though

In this email I'm just sending you what I wrote up recently for a work I made called Small Alterations. I hope it makes sense, if it doesn't and you're interested in the work just let me know and I'll try to

Happy new year! I switched my entire mind off for over three weeks. I began writing the below item in October but I've bumped it from every email since then because it was a mess. I need to move on to the things I should actually be studying
