Fringe Festival 2025 Update & Show Trailer

General show information for my KC Fringe Show, No Place Like Home, can be found here. I will be performing five shows at The Black Box from July 18th to 26th in the West Bottoms. I have also put together a trailer. The trailer goes into a bit more detail about the show itself.

On a related note, there have been a series of events over the last couple of years where the worlds of technology and art have increasingly found themselves at odds with one another, although as a result, it is now more than ever that we need to push back against these acts.

Some of these acts have included Disney's attempt to pay actors a one time fee of a few hundred dollars for perpetual rights to their likeness, Apple's Crush ad where Apple is literally crushing out art and later crushing out a smiley face ball (representing artists), and Open AI's recent "Giblification," trend whereupon Open AI has taken Hayao Miyazaki's work without his permission, fed it to ChatGPT, and then a slew of end users have further reduced his life's work to a series of memes.

No Place Like Home is a show that in part seeks to show the importance of art in our lives.
