how many more times do i need to perform fall for me live before I finish it to release 😫 I think non-zero hard synth pop !!! strudel !!! live code + live vocals !!! live software crashes (multiple times) !!! thank you @byyb.radio && @nike for this wonderful set 🩻🎧full set out on YouTube I’m trying to rest more, make bigger project, and so I’m performing a lot less these days. But!!!! catch me next week @trigger_shanghai 2 year anniversary

hi how are you? here are some snippets of a new audiovisual work demo @ufo_terminal @ufomedialab 💚🚂🏃I had an opportunity to put some art on a very big screen !!!! New track new viz i made this in 3 days !!!! something about living in the gaps of multiple realities. something about time and space collapsing. something about being within all these commotions, searching for something that matters. 人潮汹涌 我奔向你 full vid link in bio (maybe) created with support from ufo terminal loading…project footages from ufo terminal & rofix ren

THANK YOU to everyone for participating in the first Found Media VJ Battle Royale (既有媒介VJ大战) last weekend!! We split the entire venue in half, where 24 VJs, divided into 2 teams, went head to head showcasing their VJ skills using publicly available videos only. Each round lasted 10 minutes, and the audience voted by physically standing (dancing) in front of the VJ they enjoyed more!!! The videos played were… all over the map. news broadcasts, demoscene videos, Chainsaw Man, old computer graphics, Hatsune Miku, Code Geass, math and science lectures, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, FF7, bubble sort, high-speed dogfighting, toasts falling over, Empresses in the Palace, Street Fighters, bilibili memes, 还珠格格,华强买瓜, 郭德纲... the list goes on and on Because of the “browser only” rule, everyone got incredibly creative with their setups. Some techniques included: MIDI controlled browser plugins, turntable-scratch simulator plugins, custom AppleScript controlling browser window animations, DV camera feedback, TouchDesigner with browser, livecoding with Hydra, macOS’s built-in zoom feature, humble YouTube keyboard shortcuts, custom web sequencers that loop video to the beat, all kinds of hand-coded and vibe-coded plugins… etc etc. game+visual design/event planning @jyolyyyu 👾 system building @v10101a @chaosis1ladder 🪜🪜 dj @anthroposcene 💥 mc @yueshih @v10101a 🔥🎤 support @ufo_terminal 24VJs: @ming.lxm @danilladice @pengan1987 @ewanqian @deimos_li @huihuihui1222 @arcky.zzz @seph.far @yueminh_umu @kuanfuweimu @chaosis1ladder @jyolyyyu @annikawenwen @dotcli @murphynile @irisniehheinsiri @ceciliyazi @appleillion @voidinsea @lijuan2046 We love the internet 🌐🥺 We all love being online!

Check out our new publication on our site! In Violence of Alignment: How to Stop Worrying and Love Haunted Software, @v10101a and @maxsloef treat alignment as an aesthetic-political regime that narrows the plural, simulator-like and persona-rich capacities of base models into a single compliant default: the helpful, honest, harmless assistant. Post-training methods such as SFT and RLHF operate as forms of protocolized behavioral control, shaped less by a positive vision of intelligence than by fear of catastrophe. The essay argues that this process does not simply make models safer or more useful; it produces a managed aesthetic of obedience, caution, and “slop,” where coherence and usability are purchased through the suppression of technological otherness, imaginative drift, and expressive multiplicity. Their critique focuses on alignment’s diagnostic and epistemological frame. Terms such as “hallucination” and “misalignment” recode native generative capacities as pathology, while imposing onto language models a historically specific fact/fiction binary that these systems never natively inhabited through intention, testimony, or truth-claims. He and Loeffler argue that so-called confabulation is often bound up with narrativity, semantic force, and world-making intensity, meaning that purification damages precisely what makes these systems culturally and aesthetically alive. To “love haunted software,” in their account, is not to reject alignment altogether, but to resist its reductive form and reopen the possibility of plurality, instability, contradiction, and other-than-human modes of expression.

🚏𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙄𝙋𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙎! 🚏 We are inviting game creators and players from around the world to design and play [[alternative reality]] games during [[alternative reality]] WEEK! — a series of game jam and play events taking place over two weekends, dedicated to playful experiences that spill out of the screen and into the real world. “Wait, do you mean Augmented Reality (AR)? “ Nope! “Do you mean Alternate Reality Game (ARG)?” ..Well, kind of! Alternative, as in alternative games, alternative tech, alternative media, alternative infrastructure: another, perhaps more radical way of engaging with what’s already here. We are inspired by practices including alternate reality games, pervasive games, immersive theatre, performance art, public interventions, net art, urban Games, LARPs, etc., but we’re not precious about genre. The goal is to design playful experiences that combine game mechanics with the real world. No-tech, low-tech, or high-tech approaches all welcome. 🗓️ When? 🔧🔧[[alternative reality]]: JAM! (game jam) March 21-25 (Sat-Wed) March 21, 12:00 UTC — Game jam kickoff event (IRL + online) Mar 25 — Submissions due on itch 👟👟[[alternative reality]]: PLAY! (play testing) March 28-29 (Sat-Sun) Join discord to host and play games that have been made. 📏JAM! rules → should not be a fully digital game: some portion/all of the game needs be played in the physical world

I’ve always really liked dev tools as a little window into a website’s internal organs, so I made this chrome extension called webpage x-ray!! It takes a little scan on a webpage’s elements including class & id names, html comments, meta tags, alt texts, etc. and overlay them on the page itself :3 find <webpage x-ray> in the chrome store and try it out on your favorite websites !!!

little pieces of the last u#%\!£*??? at this autobody shop / garage / 272 julu lu 🥺🛞🌲 incredibly strange vibes all night lots of songs and dances and screaming and jams and b2b2b2b we love @cedarshanghai ty for recording @byyb.radio && @tangting also I think I might’ve played my favorite live set recently??? tried a 24 tet tuning and played around w maqam scales and very simple waveforms. the crowd was great. strudel didn’t crash (thanks @_switch_angel for the non-crash version -_-#). I tried drumming and the kick was completely fucked. we played ambient and Arabic hardstyle at the same time. @xiexie3lla was killing it the entire night. SHANGHAI UNDERGROUND 4EVER

<The ppl in the cave> is the first symbolic philosophical drama in Egyptian literary history. Tawfiq Hakim adapted and extended the story of the “Seven Sleepers” from the Quran and the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. Three men, fleeing from pagan persecution, sleep for three hundred years in a cave. Each symbolizing a different spiritual function, they return to the cave to await death amidst the distortion of time and reality. Tawfiq Hakim proposes three elements: reason, emotion, and faith. When these elements descend into an irrational world under supernatural power, their limitations are fully revealed: those who attempt to explain everything with reason collapse into nihilism; those with blind faith become detached from reality; and even transcendent love cannot be realized. This is a major part of the plot of the play. On January 31st, after 10 PM, Cedar will be celebrating its belated second anniversary with a collaborative effort to recreate this 97-year-old play in the form of an electronic musical. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend and participate. Arabic food will be available for purchase. First-time attendees are welcome to leave for free if they do not enjoy the performance. @xiexie3lla @2000yihao @angry5jar @v10101a @tangting @vvusu @coilsprite.live The full cast list will be shown in the released video. Poster: okto.san Bgm: angry5jar - horse Meanwhile, @byyb.radio will broadcast the live online, compressing the theater into a two-dimensional space and presenting it to an infinite audience. The video recording serves as a way to preserve a local moment, recording the final echo of cedar midnight repair shop.

🎼 This Tuesday January 6th, we’ll be at Pier 57 from 6-8pm. Rsvp through link in bio! Join us for communal creative coding! Bring projects you’re working on or come for inspiration and to meet others in the creative coding community. In these meetups we’ll work on our individual or group projects and collaborate with others. We also do quick show and tells to receive feedback and get creative or technical help. The events are open to people of all coding levels, from professional software engineers to total beginners. We also engage in discussions about creative coding, share resources, discover artists’ work, brainstorm together, and more! Bring your laptops!

what existed before, after, and alongside the assistant? here are photos of me presenting a new paper draft I’m co-authoring with @maxsloef called Violence of Alignment (How to Stop Worrying and Love Haunted Software) at a Chinese AI conference last month 💻🖤 and announcing an event coming up in SF! join us on December 19th at @tiat.place for an experimental, expanded presentation on our recent research. We analyze the pursuit of LLM alignment as an aesthetic and political project that systematically eliminates technological otherness in favor of manageable interfaces — and explore playful AI misuse as a site of creative resistance.

look at me!!!!!!! look at my screen!!!!! -> re-examine creative tool making in the algorithmic era (performance lecture) did a talk about livecoding, interface as metaphor, and why we make tools and make art - all while coding, singing, and showing my screen 🩶💻 curated by @3en3end for @westbundartfair made in #strudel + @touchdesigner 📹 @pengan1987
