Keziah James crafts immersive narratives at the twilight threshold where memory, technology, and art dissolve. Based in Philadelphia, his multi-disciplinary practice spans the realms of writer, musician, DJ, VJ, kinbaku rope artist, and performance artist—a tapestry woven from tactile tension and digital abstraction. Across these diverse mediums, his work interrogates the profound frictions of the human condition: the capacity of art to resurrect the past, its power to grant a precarious permanence, and the inevitable decay of the biological substrate.
Operating with the razor-sharp lens of a philosophical misanthrope, James delivers candid, satirical, and gauge-breakingly poetik mis.re[ob]servations on modern existence. His haunting short fiction, exemplified by the occult geometry of "The Alchemy of the Fold," explores these inquiries through a dark architecture of surrealism and high-stakes metaphysics. Currently, he is at work on a debut novel—a cinematic, cyber-gothic odyssey detailing the heavy psychological burden of total digital recall within a technologically fractured future.
Years from now, in a weathered Philadelphia, Netochka navigates a quiet, grueling daily existence, protecting her identity and enduring an exhausting, hyper-rare neurological condition: she possesses absolute, indelible recall. She cannot necessarily remember what she ate a week ago, but every line of legacy code, every logic gate, and every syntax string she has ever glimpsed is permanently burned into her mind.
Resonant Manifold is a gripping, hyper-realistic journey of a woman acting as a living compiler for a dying world. As Netochka pieces together the code locked in her mind, she uncovers a catastrophic logic error in her hunters' plans—one that will trigger a systemic collapse and affect millions if executed. To save herself, the bond she has forged, and the remnants of human civilization, she must engage in a brutal, clear-eyed battle of wits where the ultimate weapon is not a piece of hardware, but the limits of her own endurance.
