“Interactivity is a lie!” - Necro Enema Amalgamated, “The NEA Agenda” circa 1992

Ask me what the quote is all about. But first, please consider our current media landscape; that might spark some some synaptic prairie fire.

I specialize in digital product development strategy and competitive intelligence. My toolkit includes 30 years of producing digital products and services for some of the world’s leading media and information companies (e.g. Hearst and Elsevier) and some of the world’s most transgressive, progressive artists (including Richard Kern and the recently departed Genesis Breyer P-Orridge). We don’t fit into traditional taxonomic structures.

I aspire to turn our “death economy” into a “life economy”. As a product strategist, I work to help creators develop products and companies that make a positive, lasting impact on society. As an OSINT research consultant, I monitor the monitors, detect and interpret faint signals and uncover information that others might wish had remain hidden.

Background:

My first company (Necro Enema Amalgamated) produced a product that prophesied the current construct of surveillance capitalism and digital manipulation and deceit. I have been called a heretic by the digital digerati and “the Marilyn Manson of multimedia...." All good! And with that in mind, I seek partners and clients who thrive on venturing into darkness in order to seek the light.

Keywords and Additional Jargon:
