Describe the room you are working in right now.

I’m in my room in Sunset Park, which is the front curved room on the top floor of a three-story Brownstone. It’s hot up here, and I don’t have an AC. The windows are open. Plants in all three of the windows. Glasses of water on all of the tables.

Any predictions for the future of the internet or networked technology?

On social media, increasingly smaller micro-accounts. Posting there without obsessing over engagement or validation.

More disappearing acts, like Snapchat and Instagram stories. Impermanent content.

Frumpy websites, less Squarespace. More young people making Apps and websites.

I lost my phone recently and was without one for three days, and it feels almost boring to have a phone again. Trying to figure out how to navigate a desire for disengagement, but without that disengagement feeling pompous or disingenuous to my habits.

If you could curate your dream show what artists would you choose and what would be the setting?

I have a dream of hosting a drawing show at my apartment where I would ask five or so artists to draw very large, elaborate narrative pieces that I would hang in specific spaces throughout the apartment: above my desk, above my bed, on an open wall in the kitchen, in the hallway by the stairs. I imagine the drawings to be like tapestries. Dream list would include Perry Trollope, Bug bus piano, emamouse, KeitaroTamura, Quintessa Matranga.

%3 — From November 2014 to November 2016, I kept a rolling log of everything I owned. I entered this data into an HTML table, which was hosted in CPanel via GoDaddy. On November 16, 2016, I organized a one-day performance of these objects called The things I own, in 3D at my home gallery Refresh. The day before the performance, the last 200 or so cells of the log disappeared, and a ‘%’ sign appeared at the top of the table. As I was setting up the show, I re-logged all of my objects. On the day of the show, many cells were again erased, but this time a ‘%3’ appeared at the top of the table. After the performance, I stopped logging my objects. I posted a question about the bug to some help forums, the answers of which you can see here. These wardrobe inventories are an homage to the erased log, and the bug that infiltrated it.
