The start of this year has been very “when it rains it pours” for me. I planned to take a class with @genramirez at @typeelectives, and even though I was only able to go to the first class, I really leaned on hand lettering as a source of comfort and outlet over the past few months. Working on this typeface now in @p5xjs based on some pixel-inspired letters I did with marker this spring!

I have two prints available in @sfpc_nyc ‘s winter Community Fundraiser! These are images I took during a residency with @roundtableresidency last year. I took them with a document scanner in my backyard. The prints are 8.5” x 12”, the same size as the scanner bed— so they are a true to size map of a passing moment in fall 2021. Links in bio!

These are high quality inkjet prints (thanks to print visionary @stefanpelikan !) and they are selling for $80 in SFPC’s community fundraiser. 100% of what you buy from the fundraiser goes to supporting rigorous and liberatory opportunities to study code, art, poetry, critical histories and futures of computation… I believe really deeply in this place and the community that coalesces around it, and if you have the means to make a donation I would love for you to walk away with one of these prints for your wall!

The last time I did a live performance was in 2013... I’ll be risking one as part of @roundtableresidency next Tuesday, October 5, at 7pm. Live on twitch from my backyard, weather permitting! Tune in tune in twitch.tv/galenmac, and link in bio 🦗

This is something I am really proud to announce (a few weeks late, but still wonderful) — I’ve been working with a group of friends/peers/role models to launch new classes at the School for Poetic Computation, and they are here! The group of collaborators co-leading this school are so intent and persistent on making this a place to learn computation where computation isn’t the point, a place to unlearn how to be “good at computers”. A place where code is inseparable from the history that brought us these tools, the geographies that they produce, the many hands they pass through, and the liberatory futures that we can have a hand in bringing about. I am really confused thinking about how I came to be so fascinated with making art and poetry through and with machines, sometimes I don’t know why it’s important to me, or I lose track of purpose by getting sucked into a spiral of “good engineering”... I’m thankful for @mchapoarchive, @rojakgirl, @melanieh0ff, @beatsbyzai, @ivorytower_headass, @toddwords, @doodybrains, and so many other friends for being so persistent in divining ways to study and share these questions together. I’ve been reading John Ashbury: be sure it is to take place in the matrix of our everyday thoughts and fantasies, our wonderment at how we got from there to here. Follow the link in my bio to check out our beautiful website— plus, there are still three classes with open applications! Thank you also to @miluandashou for serendipitously sending me a picture of a Urodid Moth cocoon (slide two) and giving me the motivation to finally make this post 🙃and slide three is the tiniest baby grasshopper on my cucumber plant 🌱

This week I introduced my relay crickets to 20 workshop participants in Toronto and Austin! We talked about the history of the Relay from Telegraphy to machine learning and speculated about artificial intelligence as invasive species. Plus, we released 20 of these little darkness-loving bugs into the wide wild world. Many many thanks to @onesandzerosca, @fancyfancystudios, and @magic_the_gallery to hosting, @megan.maclaurin for the cricket taming skills in the first video, and everyone who came out to be curious with me. More to come! If you want to run this workshop in your town, let me know!
