You’re here. Maybe you’re curious about me, or maybe the universe shuffled you here through random circumstance. There’s no telling on my end, though I’m grateful for your arrival. That being said, I would like to share what it is I’m doing here.​
I’m an independent storyteller raging against the river’s flow, those fiercesome algorithmic currents toward corporate art made only for profit. Edible, digestible, forgettable.
I rally against prosthetic generative art from overeager neural nets. These aforementioned things, they narrow attention and stifle consciousness. I believe people feel dispirited and starve for something more than aggregated mimicry.
I imagine you are as discerning as I am in that regard; searching left of the dial or under the radar for something to move you. Something devoutly conceived apart from the muddled homogeneity of the mass media.
​I revel in being able to bring you what I do with as little barriers to entry as possible. This is a landscape for new ideas, because elsewhere they would likely die in favor of another Star Wars spin-off or the latest perpetual reunion tour.
With your willingness, I’d like to invite you to experience my work. If I can bring you laughter, tears, or profound thought based on something I’ve written or performed, I hope you will pass my name onto the uninitiated—I’m Ryan S. Leavitt.
