For those of you who’ve been following my writing for a while, the genesis of the idea was actually my 2015 post, On the Design of Escaped Realities

Another personal trailhead for me was my first book, Tempo (2011). There were a lot of themes I wanted to address then that I didn’t because I didn’t feel prepared enough. I still don’t, but these days I don’t let that stop me from trying stuff 🤣 tempobook.com

A book is the plan, but I have no idea what I’ll actually end up with, within this broad theme. Perhaps I’ll end up with an interpretive dance piece, or a trading card game, or a movie script instead. Whatever I end up doing will develop at multitemporality.com

That gig resulted in which was, and remains, one of the most fun ongoing projects in my life. Hopefully, something equally fun comes out of this one, wish me luck

Anyhow, if you’re in LA (especially DTLA, where I’ll be living walking distance from Berggruen since I plan to avoid driving as much as possible) ping. I’ll probably pull together some meetups and such.

Attendees of #RefactorCamp2019 ... thanks for helping me conduct stealth research for this project. I proposed the “escaping reality” theme mainly to lazily get you guys to do all the hard thinking for me. Whitewashing the fence ftw 😆 #BeSlightlyEvil refactorcamp.com

Copy/paste error upthread. Here’s the correct link for the Berggruen Institute. If you’re in the neighborhood between Aug 15 this year, and May 15, 2020, holler.

And in case you’re wondering, my other writing will continue as usual, just in directions helpfully aligned with this gig. Many of my recent posts across and have actually been scouting essays (the OG meaning of ‘essay’ as it happens) for this project.

Yes of course. That too is actually a disguised experiment related to this (world building is a key theme in multitemporality so I figured I should get some practice actually building one)
