Co/n/founding the Queer Poetic Web is a series of performance workshops inviting audience members to create queer poetic web/sites of belonging. Following that, I then create queer digital villages connecting participants’ cyber-dwellings.

Prophet Consulting
In June 2024, I partnered with Prophet Consulting to explore the intersection of Queerness and AI. The workshop opened with a performance followed by a hands-on workshop where folks created some wildly inventive, queer websites — sites that broke web rules and defied expectations. Queer digital spaces, as imaginative as they were unexpected, emerged and formed a queer digital commune.

I'm excited to bring this same creative energy to other companies and organizations. These workshops are designed to help teams tap into their creativity and rediscover the joy of playfulness through technology. Whether it’s reimagining what’s possible on the web or sparking new ideas.

Sandbox
In October 2024, I travelled to Barcelona, Paris and London. I invited friends from the Sandbox community to co-create queer websites. After sharing my Queering AI performance with folks, I invite them to use a combination of ChatGPT and Glitch.com to challenge what a website is. The results were playful, provocative, witty and heart warming.

Once folks submit their creations, I gather participants’ queer websites in a queer village or galaxy we then visit together. Each is invited to speak about their work and process.
