Psychic Fugue Studio

This is an archive copy

...of a retired website

See more of my works and projects at savetheoxygen.org (On Oceans), lostinmist.blog & linktr.ee/cooperdozier. There " is also a Work in Progress: Explorable Hybrid Text / / / Time. Some more links to be added with plaintext and styles and eventually linked up later. Think of the hyperlink as an alternative to the turning of a page in a paper book. That is why it's explorable instead of linear. The idea i got from a defunct website called North of Reality which was described as "explorable fiction"

About Psychic Fugue Studio

Psychic Fugue Studio is my (Cooper Dozier's) personal domain. I am a poet, artist, and information technology guy. Collected here are some projects and pages I've made over the years and links to my other works in the Projects section at the bottom of the home page.

The domain was also printed on nearly all of the over 800 postcards I sent out in a mail art/mail poems/ activism project I retroactively named The Discordian Postcard Conspiracy. Since I put the design up in 300 DPI and called it Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, there might be many thousands more for all I know, or many lacking my domain name. Files: Inspire Activism Postcard.

I can be reached at cooper.dozier@gmail.com . Follow me @tribalephemeral or lostinmist.com (WordPress.com platform)

About the Site Name:

I think I just kind of liked the sound of the name. I came up with it some time before I first decided to or did put anything online in 2010, which was then just a gallery of my artwork in a Wordpress installation in Amazon EC2. 'Psychic' was meant to refer more to the idea of mind-related-phenomena, not psychic powers/sensitivities. 'Fugue' was meant to refer to the classical music type, not dissociative fugue states. 'Studio', of course referred to a visual arts type studio. People do not tend to hear the name as it was intended...

Welcome. Thanks for stoppin' by

Psychic Fugue Studio is currently a collection of web art and web design projects, or other content executed in HTML and CSS (see top & sidebar), and a personal website for an artist/poet. 2011-2018.

For a list of offsite projects, including some audio and video, see list at bottom.


News / Change Log - 2019

[ [ 2.11.2019 ] ]
Added a new page for Save the Oxygen - Quotations; useful quotes to reuse.
No new public art or writings items to announce, alas. But perhaps soon.
Significant rebuild on this site, largely done in mid-December, but not uploaded until now. Most changes are not to text, graphics, or page appearance. Just imposing a rational directory structure changing up the links to fit and etcetera. Eliminating duplications, giving descriptive filenames, merging things that can be merged and whatnot. Also, axed the on-site blog here 2 days ago.

[11-22-2018] I've made numerous changes to my other domain, Save the Oxygen in the last week or so. These include moving "Hopeful Thoughts" and "Roll Call of Doom" to their own pages, and declaring the textual content, but not code, design, or images, Creative Commons licensed, should anyone wish to translate it, make flyers, or otherwise use it. Other changes are mostly presentational, not very significant to content. Save the Oxygen is a climate change-related issue site. In particular, the concept that there could be a collapse in phytoplankton populations, while two-thirds of the dioxygen (O2) on Earth comes from the oceans, mostly from them. There is more to it than that, though ... Check it out.

Moved the list of blogs, sites, and projects to the bottom of the main column here, deleted the Projects & Products page, and added a link for the Synaptic Syntactic ebook page up top. [6-25-2018] New blog posts at the PFS blog and Lost in Mist in the last few days.

Added 3 new pages to SaveTheOxygen.org and various code tweaks and meta descriptions. "Things to Do", "About / Origin", and "Recommended Reading". [6-18-2018 & 6-19-2018]

Made significant code improvements and small text improvements to my Sustainable Home Presentation, which was originally for a 2013 Environmental Science course at Bellarmine University. I might one day bulk up the text, maybe add a new section, so it reads more robustly without the benefit of a speaker. [4-12-2018] Also cut unused files and CSS and changed all the Pure CSS links to the recommended CDN, mostly in March.

Added a dedicated page for Synaptic Syntactic: of unbounded phases and entangled echoes, my book, [4-5-2018]. There are links to a free download of the first major section, Lunatic Fringes, Stand and Mobilize in 2 sizes of PDF here, in 8.5x11" for printing &&& here, in 5.5x8.5" with skinny margins for smart phones and tablets.

I also have a randomizing draw glyph/symbol based divination/brainstorming/creativity seeding (e.g. writing prompts) system that I've been developing since October 2016 in current progress. Just beginning to really get down to some writing for the ebook/book/app/what-have-you for the system. I won't hazard a guess on a release date, but it will eventually live at VerseCubes.com I believe. [6-2-2018]

Revamped Save the Oxygen .org. [3-20-2018] Much improved in my opinion. More changes likely to be coming at a slowish pace.

Completed a large number of changes to a A 2011 Web Art Project related to The Schcroedinger's Cat Trilogy, [3-5-2018]

Completed a large number of changes to a Another 2011 Web Art Project a strictly visual triptych, [3-8-2018]. Descriptive alt-text for all the images is one of the major changes.

The changes to the web art are mostly user-invisible: file names for pages and images, alt texts, title tags, and meta descriptions (what appears in search engine results), as well as the project directory name. These affect accessibility for users of screen readers and search engine visibility, The project home pages are also entirely new, with project details and background. I also added index pages that describe the projects, their origins, the requirements, etcetera.
