An Otter Saves The Day
14th January 2016
My possessions have quite a hard life. My tics mean that my things get dropped, thrown, bitten and squished much more often than other people’s. This means I seek out robust tic-proof items wherever possible.
Take my smart phone for instance – I’ve had one for many years, and right from the start I realised it was going to need some heavy-duty protection.…

There’s Something About Alan

Dalí to DALLE - Dr Will Renel

We’ve been interested in technology focused research and practice for a long time. In 2013, Touretteshero collaborated with Dr Tom Mitchell and Dr Joseph Hyde on The Alchemy of Chaos which converted a year of ticcing episodes into music that was presented at a TEDx talk at the Royal Albert Hall.…
Triumphant Tuesday
26th October 2021

It was a crisp autumn night and the sun had set an hour before as I made my way carefully through the leaves, and through the pedestrians making their way home.…
