Each one reverses a collapse: apps back into matter, the planet back into intuition, memory back into ritual, the oracle back into the room.

01 · The god-book

The Pantheon

graphic novels · audiobooks · 21 gods

Greek myth as graphic novels and audiobooks. A 98-page god-book: 21 gods, English and Greek editions, each deity in its own voice.

02 · Wall computer

mosAIc mark — nine tiles, one lit gold

mosAIc

The lit tessera: one gold tile marks the intelligence

A modular, magnetic, AI-orchestrated wall computer you build yourself. Each tile thinks, senses, speaks or glows. It lives on the wall, not in a pocket.

Modular. Magnetic. Intelligent.

The hardware is open source. The intelligence and mythology are the Sacred Circuits layer: deity filters, oracle readings, sacred geometry in light.

In development

Software ate the world, AI threw it back up.

Your desktop. On your wall.

How a wall comes together

  1. 01

    Snap. magnetic pogo-pin edges carry power and data. Tiles just click

  2. 02

    Discover. the hub senses each new module and maps the grid

  3. 03

    Route. widgets find their own display: weather to a screen, mood to a glow tile

  4. 04

    Learn. a local AI learns the house and starts anticipating it

04 · The bedside planet

Globe 2.0

The bedside globe shrank the planet to lamp size: the earth is round, obvious to a child. Google Maps ended it.

Concept — patent synopsis drafted · firmware prototyped

Drag to rotate · NASA blue marble + night lights

Globe 2.0: a basketball-sized sphere in recycled sea plastic, playing fifty years of NASA and ESA earth observation. Carbon, city lights, ice, urbanization. It makes the Anthropocene obvious.

A night light that happens to be the state of the world.

Google Maps killed the bedside globe. This brings it back.

2018

The optics build

Pico-laser projection into a frosted sphere, engineered in Athens. A 15 cm focus floor set the sphere's minimum size.

2020

The pitch, recorded

Elevator pitch and patent synopsis set down: two projectors stitching one seamless earth inside the sphere.

2026

The pivot

Projection retired. LED surfaces instead: addressable matrices or a spinning persistence-of-vision rig. Simpler, brighter.

2026

Prototyped

POV firmware on an ESP32-S3: spinning LED arms, hall-sensor sync, any earth frame mapped onto the sphere.

Patent synopsis · drafted 2018

An interactive spherical display: two pico projectors stitching video onto a frosted sphere, controlled from a companion app. Three components:

  1. 01

    The base. processor, wifi, bluetooth, power, and the projector board

  2. 02

    The sphere. frosted, white, opaque

  3. 03

    The projection module. projectors and concave mirrors stitching two feeds into one seamless earth

Superseded by the LED-surface direction. Kept as the record
