Lurching Through Exile — The Polymath as Witness

There are artists who produce.

There are entrepreneurs who build.

There are thinkers who write.

And then there are those who lurch.

To lurch is not to advance smoothly. It is to move through fracture. Through rupture. Through exile. Through return.

My path has never been linear. It has been covenantal.

From early experimental films to ritual audiovisual works, from poetry to music, from technological systems to spiritual inquiry — nothing has been separate. The camera was never just a camera. The microphone was never just a microphone. Code was never just code.

Each medium was a fragment of one single search:

How does consciousness survive fragmentation?

Judaism does not move in straight lines. It spirals through exile and reconstruction. Temple and dispersion. Ruin and renewal.

My work mirrors this pattern.

The smashing of bottles after my mother’s death.

The meditative forests.

The digital remixes of memory.

The AI-generated angels.

The ritual films.

The archive-as-autobiography.

This is not branding.

It is testimony.

Lurching.net is not a portfolio.

It is a ledger of crossings.

I am not seeking visibility.

I am documenting continuity.

Polymathy is not accumulation. It is integration.

Art, technology, Torah, entrepreneurship — they are not separate domains but chambers of one vessel.

If there is a messianic dimension to this journey, it is not in proclamation but in perseverance:

To keep creating despite fracture.

To keep building despite exile.

To keep witnessing despite doubt.

This is Lurching.

Not a brand.

A crossing.
