Unscripted: A Glitch in the Algorithm

Unplug Yourself: A Glitch in the Matrix Survival Guide

In a world that wants you to shrink, conform, and mute your weirdness, Unplug Yourself is your rebel handbook. It’s a ruthlessly honest field guide for anyone who’s ever: Faked a smile during soul-crushing small talk Scrolled Instagram and felt like a non-playable character in someone else’s highlight reel Wondered, “Why does ‘adulting’ feel like a rigged game?” Here’s the truth: Your “glitches”—the quirks, anxieties, and messy emotions you’ve been taught to hide—aren’t malfunctions. They’re your superpowers. Inside this book, you’ll learn how to: Spot the Matrix’s traps (spoiler: it’s not just 9-to-5 jobs and influencer culture) Rewrite societal scripts with small acts of rebellion Build a life that feels like yours, not a cheap knockoff of someone else’s “success” Turn your “too muchness” into rocket fuel for joy, creativity, and meaningful life Packed with actionable “glitch tips,” and zero toxic positivity, this book is for: Burnout survivors ready to quit the hustle cult People pleasers dying to say “No, and here’s why” Creative minds tired of monetizing their magic Anyone who suspects there’s more to life than optimizing it Warning: This book may cause side effects, including existential epiphanies in the dairy aisle, and the irrepressible urge to live your life, not the algorithm’s. Your revolution starts with one question: What if the “glitch” isn’t a bug… but your chance to hack the system?

Drawing Futures

Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture.Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. Drawing Futures will present a compendium of projects, writings and interviews that critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie.Drawing Futures focuses on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. The book coincides with an international conference of the same name, taking place at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in November 2016. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas.
