on dwelling w/ Stephanos [leaves, fruit, and stone]
As posted elsewhere: I'm glad that you will be using the house. I have great affection for it. It's been a process for me to let go of the perceived need to turn it into my home, or to come up with a master-plan about "improvements" and instead to simply share the house with interesting,… Continue reading on dwelling w/ Stephanos [leaves, fruit, and stone]

not(es) on participation [on writing (on art) in the first person]
I wrote this for NeMe, mid-2016 It's one of my free-est texts, and it connects my thinking about art, tech, and openness into a kind of politics of civic participation, locating experimental comments on this in the Cypriot arts. Here it is in full / to be occasionally updated. Caption: A piece by Natalie Yiaxi,… Continue reading not(es) on participation [on writing (on art) in the first person]

love for Nurtane: “Jaded historian of Makarios’ memory across media also thinks this is quite interesting for Pafos17”
OR “This is (the other) Aphrodite's fault”: Resolving the Dawn and the Sunset Issue (2017) Coming from a great interest in controversy, especially when it has to do with political memory, or the discursive overlap of politics and aesthetics, I conclude that the danger here isn't one of censorship. The issue is the idea that… Continue reading love for Nurtane: “Jaded historian of Makarios’ memory across media also thinks this is quite interesting for Pafos17”
not a review of FOSDEM/Brussels 2017: An open tech conference on open tech
No registration necessary. https://fosdem.org/2017/ An open tech conference on open tech. Can you imagine? And with years of momentum. This is where I was when the Nurtane story broke and I'm thankful for the perspective, except the immediate distraction means I wont be able to process my notes any time soon. Except just one for… Continue reading not a review of FOSDEM/Brussels 2017: An open tech conference on open tech
Take Care When You Cross Time-Zones: “If done chronically, it can lead to a suppressed immune system, chronic fatigue and memory issues.”
This post is late, I didn't document the jokes around Nicosia as they came up, none was perfect, and the two-time zones New Years Eve party in the Nicosia Green Line [Ledras] solidified them. I missed it because family suddenly became fun. Note the thing about memory issues (Brody, 2014). Brody, B. (2014). Can Changing… Continue reading Take Care When You Cross Time-Zones: “If done chronically, it can lead to a suppressed immune system, chronic fatigue and memory issues.”
the internet is changing: on metajournalistic parody
[unfinished] post-truth; post-Trump From where I jack-in this looks like an explosion. It's about the coming-to-dominance of a mass awareness of the inaccessibility of 'fact,' of a sweeping sense of an ethical irrelevance of truth value (of metajournalistic-parody). This is new in how we -en mass- perceive the mass of information. A shift in information… Continue reading the internet is changing: on metajournalistic parody
on open government data / the opening of private sector information / the dark side of transparency discourse: on the casting of the state as a corrupt data-hoarder
Κατάλογος συνόλων δεδομένων (datasets) που διατίθενται για περαιτέρω χρήση μέσω της Εθνικής Διαδικτυακής Πύλης Ανοικτών Δεδομένων data.gov.cy (RoC). [This is to further position a collective, speculative, chaotically earnest intention to develop good local questions around the opening of government data, and to connect them with wider debates. I fronted a demo for this during NeMe’s… Continue reading on open government data / the opening of private sector information / the dark side of transparency discourse: on the casting of the state as a corrupt data-hoarder
