Excited to be participating in the ZO Computer Challenge!
CTRL//SPIRIT β a haunted operating system for diagnosing corrupted design systems.
I didnβt want to make a traditional portfolio, so I turned my personal website into an interactive horror desktop instead. The idea was to create something that felt like a cursed CRT machine, a living archive, and a design manifesto all at once.
Inside the site, visitors can explore:
recovered doctrines from broken systems
incident logs of interface failures
an infected components diagnostic mini-game
terminal interactions, hidden files, and eerie system warnings
I wanted it to feel unsettling, playful, and strangely beautiful β like stepping into a machine that still remembers every broken interface it has ever scanned.

Hi everyone! Small update the link has been changed to : https://ctrl-spirit-studioce.zocomputer.io/
For this Zo Computer submission I made a website for our farm. It was a long time coming... I should thank Zo for making it happen :)
You'll find it here: farm.crackinged.com
Main goal was to capture the spirit of the animals, us as founders and the land as if it was a living creature. Somehow it worked! All the little features and illustrations make it pretty close and show the visitor how our farm "feels".
The process was took 6 days, and was truly satisfying (for someone who likes time outdoors much more than screens).
Some small tweaks and we're up and running!
That's brilliant. I love the farm narrative.π
Okay I owe y'all an apology.
I've been using AI wrong this entire time. literally burning hours in figma trying to build sections when Claude Design does the same thing in minutes.
And somehow it's responsive??.
Take my money Claude. all of it.
More builds coming, and yeah, whole stack is getting redone lol.
