For me at least, the X algorithm is not optimized for sharing and community building anymore. How is this site? Should I start posting "liminal" thoughts again?23 Oct 2025 16:38 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3uscmjwcc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3m3sl3ui3ms2mIf you are attending AWE Europe in December, come to the most potentially-totally-out-there presentation I'm preparing with my partner in crime, Belgian artist Peter Vander Auwera. We'll introduce you to the ARG we've been working on for some time.22 Oct 2025 19:24 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3sl3ui3ms2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3lu5tim2eps2tI have finally uploaded a series of lectures I gave on the topic of spatial intelligence for DIGITAL Futures: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmlu4mSoeemuxvEQISKFArCDzjVXuuYMk&si=lN8LkWHFyYKv4l4h17 Jul 2025 11:32 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lu5tim2eps2thttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3lmwsxahjus2hHave some tasks that just don't want to get done?

This video outlines the mental models I use to think about these things. I call it an "operational framework" because it comes in handy when developing concepts for immersive tech.

Here's how reading Jung has turned my doodles into narratives I've been using for work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCb2qBz4Uc&list=PLmlu4mSoeemuDrKGDGDei3sqZr7JI3MEu&index=1&t=438s15 Nov 2024 20:09 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3laz6mgtrhk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3layzxjzesc2aFirst time seeing Jung's archetypes in the form of a spatial diagram. Compared to the traditional wheel, this is vastly more effective. It's also a beautiful example of spatial affordances used to communicate A LOT of abstract ideas on a single page (something comics know all about).15 Nov 2024 18:46 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3layzxjzesc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3laudvj5nkk2fThere's something missing in XR storyboarding. I wish we had something more abstract, like a notation for spatial experience. It shouldn't show you things, but help you play them in your head instead. Still working on it, but here's a look at music, dance and poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxpuqHer0Lw&t=584s13 Nov 2024 22:00 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3laudvj5nkk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3larvykbptc2bThis Wednesday's dev call: We'll be discussing our upcoming campaign for Space Elevator, our VR architecture editor.

The tool (whether VR or a sheet of paper) was operating directly on your mind.12 Nov 2024 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lar5efx5o22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3lapg7idapc2nThe "new" medium is not AR or VR. It's space. It's been around for a long time, and many disciplines, like dance & architecture, have well established methods for turning it into powerful experiences. It's computing that just figured out how to access it. That's what's new.11 Nov 2024 22:58 +0000at://did:plc:vhc6xo7wmi6x3ef43gxscljg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lapg7idapc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreeavr.bsky.social/post/3lapb37p6l62oHello, Bluesky! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. If we followed each other over there, give me a shout.
