About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Relax a bit...

ABOUT ME

Oh please, I can not describe myself, I get shy. I can tell you about my plans/dreams/projects nonetheless :)

I write software for living, as a passion, as an idealist project of changing the world. I'm an anarchist, not in an idealist sense; actually in a very realistic sense. Let's admit: this world is already inherently anarchistic, and thus we have to work together to change it by all means, for the good, for the better, for what we want it to be rather than what is projected upon us...

I do capoeira and it's absolutely the only thing that I know I'll be doing for the rest of my life until I die, besides all sounds of the world - both existing, and to be created. I love electronic and acoustic music, dancing to it (even more), making fire outdoors, taking a stroll in the woods, encountering people who challenge me in dialectic and generation of thoughts, artistic ideas, creating my own dance frameworks for improvisations, and just silly pointlessness... I can't live without a thought of an upcoming dance or/and music jam session.

I do art - mostly in sonic form. I work with choreographers to create a piece together. If you're into contemporary dance or techno/rave culture, feel free to hook up. We can probably go see some shows and meet some local practitioners.

I've developed a book-lending application for people who live in same city to lend books to each other and create reading circles. You should take part in it: https://app.pomegra.org

I've also done this, wanna co-create next time? Ping me! http://laborislove.se

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life's more fun when you're jamming.
And when you withdraw the concept of money from human needs & relations, it's amazing what that opens up...
