Joshua Kopstein is a computer culture journalist and electronic musician. Currently a reporter for The Verge, his progressive writings (“Dear Congress, It’s No Longer OK to Not Know How the Internet Works”) advocate DIY culture and open source technology as a vehicle for radical sociopolitical reform. Since 2008, he has explored and exploited the unique musical capabilities of antiquated video game consoles, combining primitive computer sequencing with tape loops and improvised electronics. As Zen Albatross, he has performed in cities across the United States, as well as at New York City’s annual chip music event, Blip Festival.
