hi, i’m ben

I’m an artist and programmer from Aotearoa New Zealand, working on human-scale programs and protocols. I also release tools and games as Derelict Engineering at derelict.engineering.

If you want to get in touch, send me an email at ben@derelict.engineering. I’m always happy to answer questions.

If you want to follow my work, I post regular updates to mastodon at @ben@derelict.engineering. You don’t need an account, just click that link to see every post. You can receive notifications via RSS or by following me.

If you want to support my work, I have a Patreon account at patreon.com/benbridle. Throw a coin my way and you’ll get to read deep-dives about my work each week. Donate a bit more and you’ll get to see my plans for the future, including outlines of unreleased projects. You can also buy copies of my work from derelict-engineering.itch.io.
