There are still some seats available in my @sfpc.study 2-day workshop: "How To Find What You Are Looking For". We'll be looking manual and automated investigative techniques. No programming experience needed. It'll be a blast! Sign up here:

I'll be showing web scraping tools and techniques, and my co-teacher Maura Brewer, who's a an artist AND private investigator, will cover some more manual investigative techniques.

School for Poetic Computation The School for Poetic Computation is an experimental school in New York City supporting interdisciplinary study in art, code, hardware and critical theory. It's a place for learning and unlearning.

I'm co-teaching a 2-day in-person workshop at @sfpc.study: "How To Find What You Are Looking For". sfpc.study/sessions/spr...

"How can data collection be leveraged for liberatory, poetic, or critical ends? How can artists make use of techniques deployed by private investigators?"

Horizontal neon yellow and blue starburst poster reading "Spring Workshops 2026" in the center, with "In-person," "School for Poetic Computation," "April," and "NYC" spaced around the star-shaped border.

Gather in-person with the School for Poetic Computation for one- & two-day workshops that bring our study into shared space!

This Web Tool Sabotages AI Chatbots By Making Them Really, Really Slow Artist Sam Lavigne created ‘Slow LLM’ to make people question their dependence on tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Or at least, make them super annoying to use.

i love that this has an enterprise edition

A graph showing household income vs emissions

Here's something I wrote about "unconventional" carbon credits, making the world's first (??) income-based carbon footprint calculator, and trying to determine the avoided emissions benefit of Brian Thompson's homicide.

lav.io/notes/carbon...

Most carbon footprint calculators determine carbon impacts based on consumption and lifestyle. But through the Offset project I got interested in the relationship between income and emissions: is it possible to calculate impacts based solely on income levels? And what would those calculations imply?

Slop Evader - Chrome Web Store An extension for avoiding AI slop

Tired of all the slop? I built a browser extension called Slop Evader that only returns search results from before Nov 30, 2022 - the pre-ChatGPT internet. Sure, the info is a couple years old, but at least you know a human wrote it :) chromewebstore.google.com/detail/slop-...

Newcastle port blockade carbon credit certificate.

Lafarge Cement Plant Shutdown carbon credit certificate.

Dakota Access Pipeline Disruption carbon credit certificate.

Exxon Pipeline Disruption carbon credit certificate.

The certificates are 11x11 inch archival quality prints covering a range of direct actions that have occurred in the last few years. Buy one today!

Offset Marketplace is a new project in collaboration with @tega.bsky.social. We calculate the carbon savings of industrial sabotage, package these savings into carbon credits, and sell them as certificates. Profits are then donated back to the activists responsible for the actions. offset.labr.io
