Spent a large part of last week scrolling in a 900 year old monastery in Belgium. That is, going through centuries of poetic scrolls written at the moment women stepped into religious life. At the end, I felt a crushing dismay at how, across time, so many individuals collapsed into one: the same language, the same narrative, the same prescribed identity. To read one of the poems is to have read them all. We often speak about AI and algorithms as flattening complexity, but history has been doing this for much longer: stripping individuals—particularly women—of their unique voices, reducing them to roles dictated by expectation, sacrifice and devotion. Something very special is coming to the city of Leuven, and I'm honored to form part...more soon.

just had the most meaningful meeting of my entire life at the Biblioteca Nacional de España. brought them a project I've presented multiple occasions over the past 3 years, getting turned down at every turn. until today, when the (reading) tables turned.

One thousand days later, time has made them different. Form followed value. And value... changed.

thoughts on how AI is (and isn't) changing creative practices 🙇‍♀️ ☔️
