Hello!

I am an artist and professor of Creative Technologies at Virginia Tech. In my work, I focus on the ways technologies of visualization and control intersect with and threaten #trans lives.

I work in #creativecode, #sculpture, #writing, #artistbooks, and more. Lately I have been doing a lot of #webdev for my projects and in my teaching.

Earlier this year, I combined my #HTML / #CSS / #JavaScript teaching resources into a single (free and open) site that I am really proud of:

I am also interested in #horror, #scifi, #solarpunk, #retrocomputing, #historyoftechnology, #transstudies, #maps, #zines, and #ttrpgs.

Hello, and thanks to all my followers! Moved here from another instance (which was announced to be closed). In research, my interests have been #architecture & #urbanism #AlvarAalto & #historyOfTechnology but I can see many other interesting people and topics here. I still have my X/Twitter account as well but, as we all know, things and times are changing... #introduction

I'm about 2/3 of the way through #WarAndPeace, just finished the section on the battle of #Borodino, and every once in a while during the battle scenes I have to pinch myself to remember the telegraph hadn't been invented yet. Maybe you could use semaphores or other signaling, but mostly if you wanted to send a message you'd actually have to get face-to-face.
