Interactive work dies when it’s documented like a looping video. Map the interaction model, system diagram, and visitor behavior, or every stage. Systems thinking is conservation for interactive installations.

Belief is not a thought. It’s an invisible architecture that tells your brain what to see, what to ignore, and who to trust. Master your belief systems, or your attention architecture will quietly do it for you.

My ethos doesn’t have a price. My reason for being doesn’t have a price. I do sell the IP. If you deeply care about awareness, education, and mental health, you can make a private offer (contact in bio).

This is how an illustration contract (worth thousands) looks like. Not AI. A team of creative people spending hours on thinking, designing, elaborating a message. I own that thing. It's mine. Im the legal owner of the copyrights. Not AI.

I trained an AI to generate stories about mental health before AI was trending. Not to flex “innovation”. To help people see their inner struggles reflected back at them in a new language. This is how actual research on my art looks like.

Everyone wants to “go viral”. I’d rather build something that survives the dopamine crash. This IP costed me: 650+ hours $15k of my own money I’m proud of the 2,000+ people I educated on mental health. I'm still exhibiting it for free across Europe. I awarded twice. Never

After this zero 10 I find myself as an artist at the intersection of: Writing my literature as training data for my agent; kinda like @sashastiles ? Making my agent an installation/ sculpture and letting it interact with users in Socratic conversational method supporting a

6/ Read my essay on how we think, decide & build worlds:

Explore what is belief from philosophical, psychological, social, and cultural angles; how convictions form, persist, and shape our behavior and shared worlds.

5/ My work with interactive installations turns belief into tangible material. When an artwork responds to your choices, you can literally watch your belief systems and cognitive biases shaping the world in front of you.

4/ You won’t escape belief architecture. But you can practice cognitive hygiene: – Question your strongest certainties. – Seek cognitively diverse voices. – Treat disagreement as data, not attack.

3/ Now add feeds. Algorithmic belief ecologies filter what you see, turning your attention architecture into a custom reality slice. Inside it, confirmation bias feels like common sense.

2/ Loop it out: Belief → perception → action → habit → social norms. Run that at scale and you get institutions and cultures that feel “natural”, even when they’re just old internal models on repeat.

1/ Most beliefs don’t optimise for truth. They balance prediction, identity, and belonging. If a conviction keeps your group and self-image intact, motivated reasoning will fight to protect it.

Belief is invisible operating system. Your brain runs predictive processing models to save energy, then you call the outputs “reality”. 🧵
Belief is a mental attitude toward a proposition; a probabilistic internal model of “how the world is” that the brain uses to predict, simplify, and guide action. Building a tiny, cutie interactive sculpture for @vandaloruins exploring the idea of belief.

Your perception feed isn’t “showing you the world”. It’s training your belief architecture. In an age of algorithmic belief ecologies, the real flex is cognitive hygiene and the courage to update when it hurts.
