Introducing “Generous Machine”

Announcements,
1/19/08

"These machines... They must be generous with our needs. They must be forgiving with our errors. They must be eloquent of ourselves."

—Grid Farmer Perry, in Chapter Seven of Chroma

Today marks the debut of “Generous Machine,” a freshly minted moniker for this site, and a new domain (generousmachine.com) that points to it. (erikloyer.com will continue to work as well.) I’ve been kicking around the idea of blogging under a title for a few months now, and the right one finally came along over the holidays. For me, this title instinctively evokes my favorite interactive works, and so represents both the best experiences of the past as well as my aspirations for the future. I’ll be returning to developing original content this year—and the “generous machine” will be one standard to be aimed for.

Cheers!
