btt (behind the thinking) of mirror: the red balls with veins are pieces of yourself. the bright red balls are pieces of the algorithm. they now form a whole. the more they match and disappear, the more you think you are winning. but you are not. this is my official entry to vinithon by @viniapp 🌹

after having to give up on my first idea when it was 80% done, i somehow managed to bring a new mini app to life for vinithon ( @viniapp). this is my official entry. mirror is a commentary on what algorithms do to us which is revealed through the experience of playing the game inside it. enjoy!!🌹

the world has become so algorithmic, and we have become so driven by desires we think are ours, that we no longer know if our identity is whole or borrowed. there are still parts of ourselves that hold us together, but much of who we are has been fragmented by what we consume.🌹

most things, and soon i thinm almost everything, can be generated or produced without a human being involved in the process. that’s why i believe the things that cannot be simulated will become more valuable. one of the few things that remains stubbornly human is genuine connection. being truly known by another perso...

for months my work has been in conversation with the question “what remains human when everything is being replaced?” i don’t think i’ll ever have a final answer, but i do know that finite things may be one of them. it’s not just the finite object itself, but also the whole experience that forms around it, that fee...

blaming ai for making everything feel weightless is something i hear a lot. i used to believe it too but i actually think ai just scaled what social media was already doing. the moment we started to think about everything in our life as content, the weightless movement began. ai only made it easier to generate that co...

i spent years discarding the parts of myself that did not know how to survive the world’s demands, only to discover that the soul was never meant to. what i threw away was still alive beneath the false self, waiting for me to return to it. i couldn’t have done it myself, and i don’t think anyone fully can. i had God ...

we threw away the part of ourselves that did not know how to optimize itself for the world’s constant demands. from what was left, we built a cleaner version and called it “self”. we learned to love the replacement, and slowly began to hate the real thing.🌹

i think one of the reasons why devices like the tamagotchi were loved is because they were finite and did only one thing. the more we can do on a single device, the less we actually value it. we care about our phones more than anything right now, but mostly because we’re dependent on them, not because we truly love t...

the thought that the internet became less human the moment we stopped posting what we actually felt, and started posting more of what we thought would work, is what made me spend a few hours yesterday writing this essay.🌹
when did the internet become less human?🌹

the experience a finite thing gives you is limited. it has a limited number of something, which can be anything ( e.g thoughts, pages, ink, people etc.). it makes me want to be more present with the thing itself, and with the experience i'm having.🌹

as i think that ai tools want us to lean on them for everything, so they can feed us whatever they want and slowly shape us into whatever they want us to be, i believe there has never been a better time than now to be intentional about the way we use the tools we have at hand.🌹

some updates on the zine: i decided not to print it locally because i wanted a printer that could also help with worldwide distribution as shipping from romania anywhere else is really expensive if you don’t have a contract with the courier or large volumes. the sample of my zine is now stuck in customs, and hopeful...
so the zine i’m working on will have plenty of handwritten text, and today i spent time writing it. then i put everything together digitally to simulate how the zine might look and, guess what, i’m not pleased with the handwritten parts. it’s not the handwriting itself i’m not pleased with, but the aesthetic. so i
