I think I accidentally found the inspiration for Animorphs covers Charles Henry Bennett's 1860s wood engravings (part of: The origin of species, dedicated by natural selection to Dr. Charles Darwin) via the Wellcome Collection

From “The Tree of Life” at Bitforms Gallery, curated by Claudia Hart Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn The Endless Forest, 2006/2020-ongoing Online multiplayer game

The Endless Forest is a multiplayer online game. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Run through the forest and see what happens. You are a deer. So are the other players. You meet each other in a magical forest on the internet. The setting is idyllic, the atmosphere peaceful. You communicate with one another through sounds and body language. The Endless Forest requires Windows and a fast 3D videocard. To download this game, please visit http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/.

My Dad Was a Spy, Maybe Cryonics, Dakota the Dog, and the Hope of Forever Let People Take Home Their Methadone and some other features I edited are over here

Just a few stories I was lucky to edit this year

When Jennings Brown exposed a viral fake doctor whose “expertise” on suicidal ideation, necrophilia, and “butt-fisting” departed from best practices. Extremely.  When Janet Burns tracked the birth of brittle, vulnerable, and world-altering spreadsheet software. (“…a computer game for executives.”)

When Whitney Kimball interviewed mp3-hoarding teens, internet archivists, and Myspace mourners on the impermanence of the digital self. 

When Henry Giardina talked to the builders of the early trans internet, from community forums and censored AOL chatrooms to Tumblr and further.

When Maddie Stone assessed the hype, “purity”, and social/environmental impact of “lab-grown diamonds.”

When Ryan Mandelbaum profiled the physicists in search of an almost mystical material. (“By then, we had all become quite exhausted breaking all these diamonds.”

When Victoria Song told the world about her father (a spy?), his secretive visits to North Korea, and her warped relationship with surveillance. 

When Jed Oelbaum dove deep into an early internet conspiracy theory, to the woods of New Jersey, in search of an inter-dimensional portal and true believers in “The Egg.”

“...as a failing body I joined the collective failure of all bodies, and from this position full of holes I stream out towards the holes in others and in this way, we might breathe one another, feed one another, flow through one another and sometimes fill up.”

“Support Level” opens January 21 at Chapter NY.
