Kokorobot is a portmanteau of kokoro (heart, in Japanese) and robot to mean robot heart. It is meant to have a French pronunciation. It dates back to 2011, see the former logo[95.4 kB] for the website.

I, rek, live aboard the sailboat pino somewhere in the Salish Sea. See what books I'm reading right now, and what tools I'm using.

Website concepts

Above is the rough concept for the menu icons of kokorobot.ca. I sketched them on paper, photographed them with a shitty laptop camera and cleaned it up in Krita.

politics

A short post to make it clear where I stand as a person, and with my work.

This website has no tracking or analytics.

The art produced on this website is all done by a human. Creative AI-generated content is hollow, it is a grotesque parody of what it is to be human and I want nothing to do with it.

I am committed to fighting normative violence, fascism, colonialism, and white supremacy in all of its forms. To undermine the capitalist structure and its abusive scripts about human worth in relation to work, productivity, and ownership. To subvert oppressive gender norms and put in question the binary. To actively unlearn biased and colonial thinking.

I am aggressively opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, ethnocentrism, religious fundamentalism, and oppressive and coercive power structures of all kinds.

Some of the wording borrowed from the fantastic Blood and Dust project.
