Synergy-1

The and character project I’ll be sharing here is called Operating Superstars, which is my recent take on the concept of personifying computers and operating systems.

I wrote several bios for characters representing 70’s and 80’s computers as a starting point but still have several more to go 😅

Many of them are part of the team COSMOS (Computing Old-School Museum of Superstars). Several members are formal rivals that work together as historians, museum curators and archivists while they continue to demonstrate their skills as writers, artists, performers or as teachers at retro-themed events.

Although their time in the limelight ended long ago and many are originally from teams that long went defunct, they found new lives in COSMOS. On the site for the project, they have a central narrative role being the group that archives a lot of computing history and their setting’s history.

The banner for this site features “The 1977 Trinity”; Trish (TRS-80), Petunia (Commodore PET) and Diana (Apple II). They are three of the founding members of COSMOS. In this drawing they're in the library which I imagine would have lots of 1970's space age aesthetics.

I published the site on Wordpress.com last year but want to move somewhere else after the parent company’s recent selling of users’ content data to AI companies! I opted out but I feel disillusioned. Since what I wrote there is still in its early stages, it’s still subject to change on here or a new site.
