Dr. Daniel Rourke is writer/artist and academic. He creates collaborative frameworks and theoretical toolsets for exploring the intersections of digital materiality, the arts, and (critical) post-humanism in his work.
The 3D Additivist Manifesto:
The manifesto crticizes itself through irony, contrdiction and self-deprecation. The lanaguage of the manifesto crumbles and degenerates, like any system accelerated to its limits. Andrea Yong’s excellent sound desgin for the video was also crucial to achieving the quality.
