The Algorithm Wants a Brand. Your Soul Wants Chaos. /  by Edgar Fabián Frías

If you’ve ever felt like the internet wants you to compress your entire creative life into a neat niche or brand, this episode is for you. In The Algorithm Wants a Brand. Your Soul Wants Chaos, Edgar Fabián Frías sits down with artist and musician Colin Frangicetto of Circa Survive to talk about what happens when artists refuse to be flattened.

They dive into Colin’s many personas—ADHD, SpaceCase, ColinCosmic—and how monikers, collage, abstraction, and an AuDHD brain have helped him build a practice that is gloriously resistant to genres and algorithms.
