Hello reader. I am a writer, researcher and teacher with a creative practice in sound and music and a growing preoccupation with personal knowledge management (PKM) and archival practice in the age of large language models (LLMs). I also am a late-realised autistic woman. The process of figuring this out about myself, and getting my autism diagnosis in my early 40s, has profoundly shifted what I think knowledge is and how I want to go about creating it.
This digital garden is my attempt to integrate my interest-led autistic ways of being and doing with what I have already learned about historically situated creative technologies and their impact on us humans. But given it is interest-led, there will likely be lots of fruitful detours into other areas. I will be reckless, verbose, and agonise over every word. And hopefully grow some more fully formed blog entries as the garden matures.
You can find my publications listed on this site. I am currently teaching at The University of York and you can view my staff profile [[here::https://www.york.ac.uk/arts-creative-technologies/people/fiona-keenan/]].
I also write a personal blog about autistic experience over on Substack that you can access [[here::https://howigetaround.substack.com/]]
