This User Longs for User Generated Internet
I’ve written before about Riot Grrrl culture being a big influence on the way I think about and relate to the internet. Riot Grrrl and the World Wide Web happened around the same moment in the 1990s when DIY self-publishing was big in the Zeitgeist with zine culture and desktop/hypermedia publishing. Decades later, onchain technologies, as an evolution of open internet ideals, have provided even more democratized and decentralized tools for DIY production,¹ making creation, reproduction, and ...

Process Notes: Very Internet Person x Gallery
When Gallery asked if I wanted to make a Very Internet Person special edition piece for them to gift to users for the holidays, I, of course, said yes. I love Gallery because of the focus on displaying, discovering, and posting art, which is an underserved area in blockchain related media as most of the tools are focused on trading. Gallery is sort the social art sharing platform I've wished for since I got into the space (hopefully, one day, I'll also be able to display my Goool wo...

I'm Just Trying to Save the Internet (Year Two)
I made i through another year of making internet blockchain art or whatever this is. I’m not going to lie, this second year was rough. Not because of the obvious reason of the whole space crashing in valuation – I’ve spent my life as a NEET in creative fields where I’m accustomed to living in minimalist squalor anyways so my practice wasn’t really too disrupted by the market conditions¹ – no, the tough part was seeing so many people and projects around me drop off and disappear as soon as the...

VIP on Baton+Caviar: Final Farm Report
The Very Internet Person farm season on Baton has concluded! Four Miladys have been successfully emitted and distributed to farmers. Thank you to everyone that participated in this three month long farming experiment to take my Miladys away (๑˃ᴗ˂๑) and thanks to Caviar and Baton for inviting me to try out the platform. Now, I want to write a little review on how things went; the goals, the results, the surprises. As a more art focused "project", I had never done much with NFTfi. Even though I...

Very Internet Poster #2: sources cited
I've been enjoying Sprite's Bonkler breakdowns and Pixelady's wiki entries so I thought I’d do a little guided tour of this Very Internet Poster.I drew from memories of my battle station as a young VIP & injected anachronisms to make something nostalgic but present. A pixelated mirror to an alternate irl. There's a VIP edit of the infamous Milady meme and a goool drawing citing Sailor Moon (ref VIP Sailor Mercury visor.)On top of the computer there's a Bonkler Gunpla ...
