Not sure the point of the blurb other than yes that’s been his gist for a while, agree!
He went nuts as in club drug fueled all night benders staring at binary on screen and then repeating it for weeks/years and the resulting breakdown.
As in, he literally lost his mind by the end and his colleagues who have as much bonafides as him attested to it happening. Whether or not he’s recovered, idk. And then if I agree with his view today - I haven’t dug into them, idk.

- dogman144 4y agoFair enough, I think! His participatory tech-art was really interesting and also I guess looked crazy from the outside (or inside haha)
