Introduction Austin, just like several other southwestern American cities, is not built for walking. However, after several years of becoming familiar with its terrain (primarily through driving), I discovered discrete pockets up and down the superfluous city grid that run against this popular notion. I was fortunate enough to find a home in one of

There is a nascent movement among hardware founders to save us from graphic design. The screenless Humane Ai Pin, soon to market, proposes a fundamentally different computing paradigm to the total, can’t-look-away screens of the Apple Vision Pro. The Ai Pin’s only visual interface is a monochrome laser projector that presents graphics on its user’s

Let’s be real, the awkward thing about graphic design right now is that just as it’s having its moment — transcending its historical substrates, machine-learning its fiddly manoeuvres, building its incandescent worlds — the credibility of its whole project is collapsing. People don’t believe in it anymore. Nobody, not authoritarian states, not corp

… and graphic design became an evacuated landscape populated by disparate factions of practitioners. Post-sniffles, all sense of taste lost, these lands were hybrid physical-digital, fractured and irredeemable. The affordable desk space in a communal studio and the grant-funded, theory-oriented MFA programme were comforts of the past. Work from th

It reads Peradam, centred in viewfield. Cold white HyperZeit vectors overlay vagueness. Glyphs fade fast, picture plane sharpens and presents fixed first person perspective. Dazed, Person looks first to horizon. Iconic vertical of Europe city. Silver disc sent to sky, seen from far. Long time obsolete. No device remains that decodes its signal. Vie

The curious swarm navigates the labyrinth With this post, Folklore is seeding (and ceding) its graphic identity to its community. This identity consists of no approved assets, no brand guidelines, no official typefaces nor colours. In their place, Folklore offers the source material of these canonical objects: seeds, prompts, references, and an ope

Some personal news From the executive suite at Netmorf HQ, I’m thrilled to announce PNG in the EYE, a serial tech romcom debuting now at netmorf.mirror.xyz. PNG in the EYE is a permissionless fiction, set in an extended universe based on Simon Denny’s artwork Dotcom Seance, in particular its revival of early 00s mobile internet start-up Netmorf. N

The work documented here was done long before the discovery of the Tomb Index. At that time I operated in various headless squads, but I was — and remain — unaffiliated with any House or

Time to reshape the image Images reproduced in print and on screens are mediated images. Long ago, the domain of the mediated image witnessed an elemental format war from which the rectangular emerged victorious. Images. Are. Rectangular. Every contemporary imaging medium is optimised-up-to-the-eyeballs for the rectangular. Yes, despite the fundam

When I first set eyes on them our resemblance struck me as spectacular, bordering on the freakish. I had never supposed it possible that there could exist such a living duplicate. A pixel perfect likeness. As my gaze
