  :       20 GOTO 10 is a reference to the basic programming language. its :
  :....   found  in  a  simple  program  that  repeats  forever, typically :
      :   printing only one  message indefinitely.  beyond that  i have no : 
    : : : coherent goal.  i am lost, trying  to familiarize  myself with a :
     :::  landscape that i know  little about.  20 goto 10 represents  all :
      :   that i do. im an unending science fair, art project, math class, :
          1980s  radio shack, computer club,  hacker space,  record label, :
          printing press, demoscene, mcdonalds, chez panisse, opium den    :
          of maximum rock and roll, laibach/death in june cover band.      :
                                                                           :
          i grew up in san francisco, and  then around california. i never :
          had much to do  with art as i knew it. im  from the internet, or :
          really  the hacking scene as  it were. i randomize integers in a :
          clever way, and i circumvent captchas only to post useless words :
          over and over, a million times over.  visual art to me is a nice :
          ansi scroller, a great NSA website defacement by fuqrag, or a 4k :
          demo or a channel flood on buttes net.                           :
                                                                           :
          the hacking scene  is dead,  but that doesn't mean i'm dead.  16 :
          year olds dont get $100,000/yr jobs anymore, and the man doesn't :
          hire  you just  to get street  cred to boast  the most  fabulous :
          research and development tiger team. at least there isnt a dress :
          code at work,  which is worth  a lot to me. i live for each day. :
                                                                           :
          i used  to enjoy  presenting at  all the  computer security  and :
          hacking conferences,  but i realized that  its not an outlet but :
          really a  feedback loop,  where your voice only  bounces off the :
          wall at  the back of the room,  falling on deaf  ears and rarely :
          leaving the room. new and interesting ideas isnt what is lacking :
          but the motivation to do anything more than jerk each-other off. :
                                                                           :
          creation is important to me, but not for the sake of itself,  an :
          outlet for creation is neccesary.  isolation is nothing but dark :
          matter,  and not even the kind that  lumps  things together  via :
          gravity,  but the  kind  that an autistic  interacts with  while :
          banging their  head against a  wall while  obsessively  flicking :
          their hand  under a running  faucet of water  to experience  the :
          subtle  landscape of texture completely  and utterly unbeknownst :
          to the rest of normal society.                                   :
                                                                           :
