Hi there! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
My name is Yoann, I go by “yo252yo“.
I do all kind of things at the junction of contemporary art, philosophy, academia, technology and pop culture.
I’m focused on writing, in the most general sense that meaning and semantics are my clay. From text to transmedia experiences, I try to push the boundaries of the format I use and to make unique things that I want to see in the world but nobody else will make them.
I tend to gravitate around themes like the mind and the self in the broadest sense, be them artificial or biological (from philosophy to psychology but also posthumanism, ux and game design) and their agency in the midst of complex systems.
Stay in touch!
Please follow me for updates, and do feel free to reach out, I need more discussion partners XD

A geek (and Dr Who) guide to London
Je déteste louper des choses. Quand je visite un endroit, en général, je passe un bon moment à faire des recherches préliminaires pour voir autant de choses cool que possibles, et en général ça débouche sur des séjours assez awesome (beaucoup appliqué à Los Angeles, et un tit peu à San Francisco). Ma préparation me… Read more
