The colonisation of rest by tracking and optimisation. On sleep scores, the nocturnal imaginary, and reclaiming the unmonitored night.

Saying nothing as a tactic against systems that require your speech to function. On silence, non-response, and the limits of voice as agency.

Refusing to generate engagement is a political act. On boredom, the attention economy, and withdrawal as a form of resistance.

Moving through urban space that is always counting you. On transit, sensors, and the vanishing possibility of being an anonymous body in public.

Adversarial aesthetics as refusal: what it means to make yourself unreadable to a classifier, and the uses of the grotesque against machine vision.

Algorithmic underwriting turns your body into an actuarial forecast. On biological age scores and the politics of being made legible to insurers.

Legibility as the precondition of governance: why the demand to be readable is a demand to be governable, and why opacity is the freedom left.
