The Familiar Algorhythm is a small, and-bound booklet of writing by interdisciplinary artist Meghan Elizabeth Trainor focusing on synchretic tension, alchemy, and object-oriented witchcraft. This publication was originally one part of the curated box set, SIGIL, also featuring the work of Jazz Brown and Guy Merrill. SIGIL was created by Bridge Productions in March 2016.

Following the opening of Robots Building Robots in September 2016, the Hedreen Gallery at Seattle University commissioned artist Meghan Elizabeth Trainor to create a text-based or performative response to the exhibition. The result is an evocative sound piece called Robot Philter, which interweaves references to works in the exhibition and allusions to Trainor’s own work with reflections on the “haunted screen” and the digital expansion of “the membrane of personhood.”

The Pugetopolis Manifesto was originally published on Medium and simultaneously performed in Occidental Park, Seattle.

The Pugetopolis Manifest was also featured on the Feminist Data Manifest-No Playlist. Compiled by T.L. Cowan with Marika Cifor and Jessica Lapp.

”While many of us are hesitant to “promote” our own work in the time of COVID-19, we believe that this compilation of manifestos might be the kind of collective knowledge that some of us need right now. We hope that this Manifesto Playlist helps us to to imagine and fight for another, more just and equitable world to emerge, to be built, even as we see the ways that this pandemic throws into vivid focus the massive injustice and inequality that makes our current world order possible. So we offer this playlist, with links where possible, to help us imagine together a new, better world and how to build it. “
