Last updated: constantly
Effective date: retroactive

By accessing, browsing, scrolling, hovering, clicking, misclicking, or emotionally reacting to this website, you agree to the following terms, whether you have read them or not.

1. Acceptance of the Interface
1.1. This website is built using a content management system [Wordpress.or] that claims to be open, flexible, and empowering.
1.2. By using this site, you acknowledge that these claims are aspirational rather than factual.
1.3. You accept that the interface may behave inconsistently, irrationally, or antagonistically toward the user. An effort to utilise rudimentary HTML and custom CSS code alongside this interface has both resolved and created problems regarding user experience.
1.4. Very rudimentary code.

2. Ownership of Content
2.1. All content on this site is owned by the artist until it is:
cached
data-scraped
summarised
algorithmically processed
monetised elsewhere
2.2. Once content enters circulation, ownership becomes symbolic.
2.3. Meaning may degrade, mutate, or be extracted without consent.

3. Subscription Logic
3.1. This website does not require a subscription.
3.2. Nevertheless, you are encouraged, psychologically, to believe that something essential to your full creativity is locked behind a paywall.

3.4. This sensation is normal in the current patch.

4. Use of Plugins

4.2. The number of plugins is both excessive and insufficient.
4.3. Each plugin promises to solve a problem created by another plugin.

6. Cookies
6.1. This website uses cookies.
