Hello again friends,
It’s only been about a month since my last update, but I wanted to send another short one because I have some fun things coming up to share.
I’m just over halfway through my six-week batch at Recurse Center, which I’ve been attending sometimes in person in Brooklyn and sometimes remotely from New Haven. I am really enjoying it; the community is very inclusive and there are always lots of people to have interesting conversations with. I started out with building a little interactive website called The Lab, but now I am working on building a full-stack web app that lets you pull tarot cards virtually. I’m learning some more “modern”1 web development techniques that will hopefully be useful to me in the future.
Later this week, I’m teaching a workshop at a cool event at Temple University in Philly called Low Tech Electronics Faire. My workshop is already filled up, but there will be lots of other cool things there, and most if not all of them are free to attend. You can find more info on the event website: https://sites.temple.edu/efaire/schedule-and-registration/
I also have two shows coming up, both in NYC near the end of March. The first one is Sunday March 23 at the Living Gallery in Brooklyn, where I’ll be doing an AV collab with Lee Tusman. See the flyer for more details:
The second one is on Sunday March 30th at Union Docs in Ridgewood, Queens. I’ll be playing a solo AV set along with some other excellent experimental/ambient performers.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Hope you are all doing all right, wherever you are. Until next time…
Best,
Paloma Kop

I called them “modern” because, compared to plain HTML/CSS they are more recent, and can be more powerful in some ways, but can still be quite antiquated and convoluted in the context of a field that evolves quickly and introduces breaking changes at every turn. ↩
