His approach allowed the storefront windows to ebb and flow, objects coming and going as he emerged and then disappeared behind the curtains again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/3219c445-53c6-4c39-ad3f-65556c87cad1/+.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1606809554769-IROLIZYTVK82CORZ02GN/spine+line.jpg Wurldz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1607146157953-N2XHXI572BYBR7SYTYTL/Screen+Shot+2020-09-30+at+4.31.42+PM.png Wurldz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1606765702002-9VKAAQ3BBNRRSKSGB457/IanLayout.jpg Wurldz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/72747e91-8f5e-4798-bb2a-0da1eaa061f9/IMG_7916.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1611990012848-NP59OZSNRK6LOREFIVUW/Screen+Shot+2021-01-29+at+10.37.34+PM.png Wurldz Seasonal Offering, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1611990176726-UBZCWX7NO7B8I73X6ABA/Screen+Shot+2021-01-29+at+10.44.44+PM.png Wurldz Deep Forest, 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1611990134250-WLCT1LK213E7FI4YX2SW/Screen+Shot+2021-01-29+at+11.01.28+PM.png Wurldz Untitled (Chocolate), 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1611992462782-XF66ZJ1CPWI5TWBQGAH8/heart+tunnel.jpg Wurldz Natural Wonders: My Beautiful World, (2012-present) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/54b27058-522c-451b-9341-55645cf5c744/2021_02_05_BALLARD1615.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/0e4bc920-249c-4d68-88df-5c795c6d86b4/Az.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/a5ce4a54-9ad1-48a6-9fa7-4cafaec49818/azaz.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Above, the UCLA Game Lab created space for me to present perhaps the most explicit form of Azguyaenquainan! to date. It was scheduled as a talk, and titled as such. At different sequences within the presentation, audience members made conscious and unconscious decisions about what they were interested in, which I stewarded to help us communally “tune-the-story-organ” collectively around the space we were all creating through the cognitively-adaptogenic framework of Azguyaenquainan! The walls were covered in flow charts about the nature of archetype, virtuality, reality, interface, cultural fields that try to make overarching statements about what these terms might mean, and many secrets and surprises were set up in the room over the course of two weeks. At several points in the talk/performance, scripted events were triggered by the desires of the audience, and at other points, space was left for relational improv. Featured with the tangley 3D drawing above is Eunice Choi, and also Tim Tsang joined in at a point to help synchronously read in duet a text called “The Humming Fate Game of the Mystic Flame” that was written in response to being in the Lab itself in weeks leading up to the presentation. for more pictures from that event and the press release, there is a LINK HERE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/d4074645-72db-4b38-b7a2-7ef2cb30c2a8/Screenshot+2025-10-07+at+4.57.40%E2%80%AFPM.png Wurldz - Make it stand out Marguerite Brown playing a tabletop version of Azguiuyanquaenan!

In the above image I, channeling a character, revealed the daily planner for the entity that was tangled in striated thoughts, trying to untangle from the time it unwittingly made in the structure of its own actions. I would slip between character and self, creating fluid capacity for the story and the real to become marbled like wagyu beef. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1594ccf3-0ff4-4ecb-83ff-91c6aed4c8fb/Stack.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/ea6ded41-65a3-4e5f-b5c0-e3a56df82530/10.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/2d2dc880-e0cc-488f-a5ee-094b1a31dd97/01.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/658288b2-d26e-477c-911a-69ec5138880d/photo-15.JPG Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/72f4b5db-74ca-4394-99a9-f807d58e359a/15a.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/8442368e-7e1d-41d4-bbaa-f863d07f010a/03.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/cfe1dc4f-bfca-458e-9947-0f455e5d852e/44.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/39529edf-8921-4273-a429-69bd6a4b65b8/12.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/0160c55d-1cf6-4123-9539-9d442f184ef5/IMG_1321.JPG Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/7394dac1-085e-4da9-9769-7891b1285649/14.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/7a3f470d-d532-438a-b7c8-53efd5b18e1b/16a.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/56e92339-8d05-4fa3-80e8-5acde2b29862/07.jpg Wurldz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/3c96ec69-3bb8-4b45-a6cf-3bb55b7a1510/ENDBRINGER.png Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/14129c44-b5e8-4055-83ae-95629dc63bc5/Screenshot+2025-11-19+at+11.58.47%E2%80%AFAM.png Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/4de62984-180c-442c-9f8b-7b464c8904f5/22+PEP.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/22134345-e09a-4db1-bcf3-fd6d10fe59c4/25_08_15_1068.JPEG Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/023c3d1a-a538-43d6-a8d2-9643289fc9bd/TLAL3.jpeg Wurldz - Make it stand out Prior to the audience being guided through the Folly Tree Arboretum, they were brought into the barn to be “born into the world of the work”. They would live an entire life within the world, and then “die” at the end, taken on The Long Walk to the Final Table to account for all of the choices that were made along the way. Depending on actions taken throughout, how the audience members interacted with different characters, it would change the nature of what could be revealed at The Final Table. Throughout the evening, audience members could respond to myself, various characters that we met along the way, and also to “mysteries” planted throughout the arboretum. They were equipped with toold along the way as oparticular audience members were invited to take on roles like “Bell Ringer”, “Light Warden”, and “Bard”, each of which had their own set of tools for interacting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/c9a1c13e-80d7-434a-880e-0556bf27c79c/TLAL2.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/79b8808a-9675-41ce-879f-b36bb0261412/TLAL4.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Various interactive, performative, and parlor-game vignettes were hidden within the landscape.

This represents the first edition publication of the cards, with expansions and further editions to be published as it expands its scope and capacities as a plaything, game guide, and collectible version of the idea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/e3b2ba96-2d69-491d-893d-f2e687e0b0aa/ottodokki+spread+1.png Wurldz - Make it stand out The OTTODOKKI, as a concept within Azguyaenquainan!, is an adaptagenic object, and a heterogenious deck: not all of the cards are the same size or have the same backs. As a first edition publication, only two current lexicons of its total form have been put into print. One of them, featured below, is a micro-sized card that can make its own deck, and here is embedded in a sculptural book that has "performances as its pages". Within this context, it shows how formal relationships can have indexical relationships to possible futures or pasts, as rarified micro-cards of the OTTODOKKI are hidden in an anthropomorphic membrane, nested to create access to a different method for organizing experiences within an experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/b530d0a0-7093-448d-a6fd-3b1801ec4585/ottodokki+spread+2+small.jpg Wurldz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patrickmichaelballard.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/10aef6b3-61c0-4249-80a7-24277f508e5a/W97A7782.jpg About From Raw, Medium, Rare: Mama’s Midnight Spicy Pale Pumpkin and Other Seasonal Ghosts performed at Elysian Theater as a part of the “Tomorrow! with Ron Lynch” Photographer: Ian Byers-Gamber https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/b8141859-a081-4b6d-9859-f399d87af214/IMG_8180.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/739f7969-beac-4f23-9c02-fe986087fd4a/shittyrose.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patrickmichaelballard.com/new-page-4 daily 0.75 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1611992291526-9C8T5JH9K5S5UHUW957W/Thought%2BStructures%2Band%2BOther%2BMusical%2BIdeals-2.jpg Sownds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1583455956681-N8P5SCGOMW9VI6WQF9JT/You+Drum.jpg Sownds https://www.patrickmichaelballard.com/nowhere-lab daily 0.75 2026-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/f09dd43a-49b7-42ac-a437-45fa0a1138d4/Nowhere+Lab+Icon.png Nowhere Lab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patrickmichaelballard.com/drawns daily 0.75 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/1684633177412-C6H99NC8U08I7VHH1CQF/bamboozled.jpg Draw'ns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/8a338eba-b23e-4e5c-8248-64885e50cffc/countdown.jpg Draw'ns - Make it stand out Countdown, guache and ink on paper, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/076c2417-0a83-4823-9fd8-e8444ff000d8/drawns.jpg Draw'ns - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/b8d55ec3-ed01-4d9b-98b7-fa5e3d926f27/drawns2.jpg Draw'ns - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58464b835016e18b4f97d031/ead6e45b-3d7e-4fdc-be24-f73c6df9ac6d/drawns3.jpg Draw'ns - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
