On a Saturday afternoon, Ocean Beach in San Francisco was alive with creativity as local artists and beachgoers collaborated to create intricate sand art. Patterns such as spirals and peace signs emerged, featuring a collective message of kindness. Central to the event was Andrés Amador, who embodies a blend of artistry and a reluctant relationship with technology. The temporary installation highlighted community engagement but also emphasized the fleeting nature of such creativity, as the incoming tide inevitably erased the masterpieces.
As I walked down to the beach I was greeted by a 10-year-old with the presence of an established 40-somethings man - a level of maturity that I have yet to see in the tech bro culture that runs this city.
Amador is the prototype of the San Franciscan hippie who begrudgingly dabbled in tech - just enough to know he despises it.
