u can make a web site too! it’s not difficult, it’s fun, and it helps you enjoy the internet again without all the numbers and ads.

i learnt how to make mine by using ‘right click+inspect element’ and stealing little snippets of HTML and CSS from other cool hand made web sites. please feel free to do the same on orf dot place!

Some things I’m passionate about…

Learning and creating in the open!

in the open.

I started an artist collective based around this very important practice! Feel free to shoot me an email to ask about it :]

Radical Accessibility!

Accessibility in art can transcend just being functional and convey the subjective experiences in ways unique to people with disabilities and neurodiversities. One of my favourite examples is alt text poetry (https://alt-text-as-poetry.net/).

Games as art, games for change.

Games can be transformative experiences, but they can also be exploitative money making machines. The latter is what makes up most of the ‘games industry’, and one unfortunate side effect of that is that most people aren’t interested in artistic games.

I want to help change that narrative!

Reclaiming the means of computation!
