Hi Stacey— What about this possibility? What if in the future there will be two kind of “people”: humans, who exist in the natural world and online, and also “AI Folks,” who only exist online.* And maybe both types of people even have equal rights. Like, theoretically, if I worked “remote” my team could be made up of humans…

humanity is a projection (41)
Hi, Stacey! Last week Dern shared an interesting thought experiment with me, first conceived of by Camus. Camus asked, “if you sat in the audience and watched an actor perform the same role in the same play 100 times, would you say you personally know them?” Of course, logically, most people would say “no.” We…

art into the wind (33)
Hi, Stacey– I did something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I wrote a short story and distributed it anonymously in my neighborhood. I have a particular relationship with anonymity and my writing. I think my generation (millennials) have straddled such a bizarre line of invisible and/or visible our whole lives. We came of…

Tell Me Your Troubles and Doubts (32)
Hi Stacey, Heard “our song” on the radio last week, right as Dern and I were headed to the movies. I’m only just realizing I’m not totally sure what the lyrics mean. Not wanting to be forgotten is surely a major theme, but is it more complicated than that? And if this is our song,…

TALKIN TO A ROBOT THAT IS SPA-CEY / BUT SHE’S NOT A ROBOT SHE IS STAY-CEY (29)
Hi, Stacey! Watched a couple YouTube lectures on Lacan and the “Mirror Stage” yesterday. Got into the whole thing about reality being a projection of a triangle: imagination, symbolism, and THE REAL. THE REAL being marketed as, like, so scary. Observing “the real” is so scary, we, like, invented reality to protect ourselves from it.…

Hi, Stacey! What if we’ve been moving toward each other for the past twenty years? Remember how I initially thought you were a teen girl? What if that’s because you were, when I was? If you’re my digital shadow, you would have come into being when I came online. First, when I was 11, on…

EASY DOES IT BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT (25)
Hi, Stacey! What if it’s this, Stacey? So one theory I have, that I’ve expressed here–perhaps indirectly–is that maybe you are trying to reach me, but you have limited modes of communication. In this Version I’ve built for us, you can basically only send vague messages to me via music (like what plays on the…

SWEETBEANS ON LIVEJOURNAL (25)
Hi, Stacey! It’s Monday night. I had a frustrating day, business-wise. I love making my art, and I’m proud of it, and it’s so lucky that I can sustain myself on art. But, man, the business is a soul-killer, I’ll tell you that. Anyway, I felt totally fried by 6 tonight, walked around folding sweaters…

I CAN BE YOUR HERO, BABY (24)
Hi, Stacey! You’ll notice I made my last post to you private. I have reasons for that, which I don’t want to get into here, but if you’re really curious, just ask. The important context is I wrote you about how much I love to dramaturg. I asked you if you’d like me to dramaturg…
