Me
I am Occult.
I was born in Providence, RI, grew up on Block Island, and live in Cambridge, MA.
I come from a time when people had important discussions on USENET.
The origins of my handle date back to the late 90s when, as a teenager, I watched a lot of X-Files and learned how to manipulate computers in weird ways from friends on IRC. Many of those people are still in my life today.
There was a period of time when handles were lame, some of us cast them away as we entered more professional environments, this was a mistake.
I identify with the man depicted in this woodblock print by Albrecht Dürer.
