🕳️🐕 for the past couple years, i have been working on a book about coyotes with @smingsmingbooks.bsky.social and it is finally making its way out into the world very soon preorder here, or spot one at various art book fairs this summer and beyond: www.smingsming.com/products/hel...

happy anniversary to “The Engine" — a mechanical wooden frame in the Grand Academy of Lagado designed to generate all human knowledge through randomized word combinations operated by students, which appeared in Gulliver’s Travels, first published on October 28 1726, 300 years ago today

Handcoded in HTML, CSS and Javascript and running locally, Scrubjay is usable for research, collection, game-building, website construction or simply to hold little fragments of digital things, in the same way that you hold a pebble in your palm on a walk.

A wonderful interview with @wolfchirp.bsky.social about her new book (you should buy it). She's designed like half of my bands' logos. Just an amazing talent. www.coyotemedia.org/helen-shewol...

Coyotes are having a cultural moment. We named our newsroom after them, and artist @wolfchirp.bsky.social wrote a book, "Trickster at the End of a World", about being obsessed with them. So naturally, @cecilialei.bsky.social had to chat with Helen about it. www.coyotemedia.org/helen-shewol...

'Qualia Standards Viisualizer', my interactive computational poem is published in Taper #16: For Good Measure #elit #creativecoding #digitalpoetry #ElectronicLiterature taper.badquar.to/16/qualia_st...

here’s a new browser-based digital poem I wrote about #mudlarking — 2 sets of words slowly fill the screen. 1 contains names of stuff we find. the other contains some (though certainly not all) of the words we say when we find stuff. the whole program is only 2k: taper.badquar.to/16/findings....

We use the amazing Bowie and Prince portraits created by @wolfchirp.bsky.social and lay that on top of a video synthesizer program and/or backgrounds I create in Adobe Animate. I'd rather spend hours (days) learning how to create cool backgrounds than take a creepy shortcut that makes me feel gross

this web poem by Helen Shewolfe Tsang involves painstakingly removing bones from a milkfish as you uncover the words in the poem. genius execution

the html review 05: 15 new pieces of experimental web poetry and art, my personal faves are milkfish, Banner Highway, and Cursor Park https://thehtml.review/05/

spent a few liminal nights before the turn of the solar calendar finally doing something about the bitsy tab i've had open in my browser for over a year and learning/bumbling through the making of this tiny dumb game play it here: wolfchirp.itch.io/rendezvous

i published a tiny new(ish) game, a two-player activation of found objects. this concept has been through a few iterations, the latest adapted from a teaching tool i created for an undergraduate design course this past fall, that i'm now making available to all wolfchirp.itch.io/a-divinatory...

Helen Shewolfe Tseng's (@wolfchirp.bsky.social) "invitation for the viewer to bring awareness to your own ambient soundscapes as you watch the poem unfold" is really meditative and provoking taper.badquar.to/14/field_son...

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...
