Running Beyond Marx
Running Beyond MarxMost running gear begins with division.The rack splits into men’s and women’s.Cuts, colors, and campaigns reinforce a binary that extends beyond clothing. What looks like simple merchandising is in fact an echo of class structures: bodies segmented, identities predefined, performance dictated before it begins.This logic belongs to Marxian socialism and its inherited structures—where class is constructed and reinforced, where belonging is organized through separation. In run...

The Becoming of: Quantified Runner Self
Running is repetition.The same route, the same body, the same ritual—until it is not.Change hides inside the repetition. Stride by stride, the runner is no longer who they were the day before. This is iteration. Not sudden transformation, but quiet evolution. The body learns. The mind sharpens. The future self emerges, one adjustment at a time. To understand this process, four principles matter: Optimization, Transparency, Feedback, and Biohacking. They are not technologies, but ways of think...

The Body as Interface: Internal and External Dimensions of Self
When I think about the phrase “diverse meanings of the body,” I realize it is not just a physical vessel—it is a landscape of experiences, identities, and responses. The body carries multiple layers of meaning, both internal and external, and understanding these layers is crucial if we hope to map the self in motion, particularly in spaces like running or performance. -- From an internal perspective, the body is deeply personal. Gender shapes how we inhabit space and perceive ourselves. Physi...

The Dual Conduits of Identity: From Self to Wearable
Identity, at its core, is shaped through interaction—both with the world around us and the data that mirrors our behaviors. I see two primary conduits for understanding the self: the Non-digital conduit and the Digital conduit. -- The Non-digital conduit is the traditional pathway. It asks us to engage physically with our surroundings, to reflect, to make judgments that emerge from introspection. Our identity is forged in these interactions, grounded in tangible experiences and sensory feedba...
