I work as a design practitioner and editor across different fields of visual cultures and technologies.
Design Practice as feedback loops of using and making, transforming requirements into prereqisites and back again. Technologies not as instruments for streamlined production, but as creative matter to engage with. Maybe in a spirit of artisanal nostalgia. Definitely towards questions of literacy in relation to contemporary ideas of convenience.
As a user and maker of digital infrastructures I have a particular interest in free/libre/open source methodologies, both theory and practice.
