Hi, I'm Alex. 
Welcome!
I am a researcher, text artist, programmer, and PhD student at UC Santa Cruz.
I play with language
(partly) to find new and reparative relationships with it.
I am interested in sculptural text, pataphysics, orality, games aimed at joy rather than fun,
digital poetics, words-in-the-world, the intersection of critical design and practice based research,
justice, critical literacy, digital literature, the avant garde, critical readings of constraint, contemporary reading+writing, AI literacy, more than human design, bread, surrealism, pickling, publishing...
