About

I combine art, technology, and storytelling through my academic backgrounds, hands-on experience and collaboration. Thriving at the intersection of creativity and technicality, I find unused or forgotten potential in existing technology. I think today’s “personal computers” are anything but personal. Though we use them every day, their inner workings are hidden and too complex for most people to understand. They’re built to solve problems—not to be seen, explored, or truly understood. The M-PC offers a different approach. It’s a handmade computer built with the simple, visible technology of the 1970s. Every part is designed and crafted to be transparent, both physically and conceptually. This is a computer you can actually see, learn from, and connect with. It’s not just a tool, but a truly personal machine built with care and artistic intent.

By playing with the inputs, you can influence it’s wellness. A balanced lifestyle is important and contains various factors such as sleep, exercise, etc. As a whole, these factors make up the conditions and its overall health. This provides visitors with a challenge to try to improve the health by changing and balancing factors. ietsnut.com/mpc
