    • Lara Joy Evans
      • Through a convolution of science and magic, the works of Lara Joy Evans outpour complex automated responses of a human-like subconscious. This unfiltered subconscious reflects on the confusion of our time, the hi-Tech middle ages, and the constructions and mutations of the signified and the constant repositioning of our understandings of where we are by algorithmic and human handling. I am not a scientist or a wizard or a bot.
