the future belongs to the weird
techartist · quasi-sage · cyberpunk anti-hero from the future
I build bridges where human creativity and machine intelligence collide, and we make weird, wonderful things neither of us could dream up alone.
Twenty years behind a camera (National Geographic, Rolling Stone, TED, 100k+ Creative-Commons photos on Flickr). These days I run BC + AI, one of Canada's loudest grassroots AI communities, and I ship software by talking to a fleet of agents instead of typing every line myself.
the future belongs to the weird.
- BC + AI Ecosystem · one of Canada's loudest grassroots AI communities. genre-smashing, silo-busting, allergic to gatekeeping.
- rafiki · local-first AI image generation and creative-asset workflow. the thing that makes my keynote visuals.
- BC AI Directory · 963 orgs, 566 people, mapped. CC BY 4.0, because the map belongs to everyone.
- Punk Rock AI · my CreativeMornings keynote, shipped as code.
I work on AI with Indigenomics, weaving Indigenous wisdom with frontier tech, and I founded TheUpgrade.ai to teach creative pros how to actually use this stuff. the camera work is still in there too: I've shot Obama, SXSW, and a pile of UN climate summits. still here, still weird.
most of what I publish is built to be operated by humans and machines. the
important repos carry an AGENTS.md and an llms.txt, because the future I'm
building assumes you'll show up with your own AI. bring it.
