I've spent many years creating "aliases", or user names, handles, hashtags, whatever. Most of what you will find in the navigation of this site are simply stars in a continuously growing "constellation of creative works". Many years ago, when I first realized that a user name could be used to reflect more than just "yourname43", I searched for a handle that would let you know as much about me as possible. I was born in 1984 and I could never pin down a specific interest. I am a "jack of all trades" as they say. I created a social media handle, "artscience84", that I still believe to be an accurate introduction.

However, in 2022, it was time to add a more personal touch to this constellation. Upon joining another social media site for the first time, I decided to add my name and photo. For years, I was operating as a sort of "digital representation" of a brand. I found it difficult to balance the idea of "cold professionalism" and the warmth of an intimate social connection in the World Wide Web. So, I have shifted focus, at least for this recent addition to the constellation, towards a more personable approach. My name is Josh and I love art and science.
