Art Homepage Fair
IPDW, working with Arebyte AOS has organized an online art homepage fair. I built collapsed texts, an interactive experimental artwork and log that I am updating throughout the month. IT'S GOOD! Check it out.
Teaching
I'm a professor of New Media and Computer Science at Purchase College. My log from Drawing, Moving and Seeing with Code.
Artists and Hackers
A podcast that I'm hosting. Our second episode on Art, Code and Activism came out a few weeks ago. A special p5.js-focused episode is imminent! Check our website or listen on Apple, Spotify, etc.
ExquisiteCorp: generative music systems
I've created an esoteric modular synth setup for generative music creation, including a Teletype terminal that I code modular Turing Machines in. I wrote a post on my Nosebook about it.
Babycastles
I'm a member of the Babycastles organizing collective that helps run the space and put together public programs. I organize the Babycastles Academy workshops: low-cost or free online workshops on a variety of topics of interest to our community. We've held 25+ workshops so far since the start of the pandemic. Topics: livecoding, game design, goal-setting, writing grants, protester safety, and more. Video archive Notes. Received a grant from the NYC Dep't of Cultural Affairs. I also help organize the collective and community, and co-organized our new - - - in - Residency Program supported by Max Neely-Cohen. Our first cohort completed their residency last month. It was great to see it come to fruition. Our next open call will be announced in March.

Obscure Instructions MOTD
In the spring I created a web-based Obscure Instructions program, an homage to Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno / Peter Schmidt. Obscure Instructions MOTD is a command line "Message of the Day" node program to display one randomly as a "welcome" message.
LeeSD Dream Emulator
Started coding generative sketches of my dreams. An homage to LSD Dream Emulator, which I'm waiting to actually try playing until after I code my own. I've started with a few dream sketches: 1 2
December 2020
I coded something for an online exhibit that will be announced imminently from a certain Cambridge-area institution.

I contributed two (very) short tabletop roleplaying games to the Micro Fiction Games Jam.
I'm biking a lot, lighting candles, sleeping late.
All my <3, Lee
