I have a wide set of extensive interests and expertise that I apply in the realms of art, journalism, politics, and technology. Some of the projects I have in motion are:

Together with artists and friends, I lead the creation of an art journal (
The Act ) and an art non-profit (
The Performance Project ) in New York City in the 80's and 90's.
These were wily efforts to produce ethical art of our own and share that work as ethically as we could.
With the help of fellow artists and friends, and with some money from a variety of prestigious institutions and foundations, we did just that.
You can learn about the journal and actually read it online:
The Act. There you can also find out about my efforts to preserve it online and keep it available for use, study, and reflection.

Music
I play the piano, keyboards, and west African drums. I enjoy playing and making music inspired by modern classical composers, carnatic traditions, west african traditions, jazz and others.
Lately, I'm spending a lot of time decomposing Terry Riley's performances from the mid-70's and 80's, his solo keyboard performances, which I've heard live and in recording. I'm also working on music that uses west african rhythms and improvisational ideas.
This work is entirely solo, improvised, and private. But when I'm 'ready' I'll put up some recordings with the hope of finding folks to play with and to perform larger scale music together.

Fixing the News
I am very interested in trying to "Fix the News". Journalism and new distribution is broken in man way. So I see myself as an artist &, and technologist who can help push towards technology that supports truth making & and that better anchors journalist practice in truth. I have written some on this and given a couple of talks at UCSB and at Twitter before Musk's naive and unconstructive efforts there.
Generally, I am interested in strategies for supporting and grounding truth and democracy so that they can meet the challenges that the internet and social media have created by enabling people to have near-zero-cost content production and distribution.
I believe that part of the solution lies in further technology and another part involves changing journalism and journalistic practice.
- I am interested collaboration to find strategies that can move this huge problem forward.
