Trent, musician
Rock star and songwriter, he just wanted a place to showcase the music he was writing. He didn’t know that so many of his friends would come on board with their own contributions. But he is thankful for them. Their ideas are in line with his own, so he lets them help. Now even he doesn’t know what to expect anymore.
Liffey, lister
Viewing Interopia as a repository for the lists he is constantly creating, he particularly likes those lists related to music, movies, and art. He enjoys all sorts of statistics, records, superlatives, numbers and limits. One specific areas of interest is geography: countries, maps, populations, etc. He currently lives as a teacher and student of languages and life.
Dr. Tiwtta, researcher
A genuine PhD holder who has attended Cornell, Princeton, AND Harvard, Dr. Tiwtta acts as advisor to the group. He is most interested in subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, dinosaurs, sharks, undersea life, cats, robots, computer programming, codes, artificial intelligence, the environment, aviation, rockets, astronomy, planets, and black holes.
Ghoteman, guru
A shaman who spent decades in silent isolation, he only recently returned from his spiritual journey, one which brought him to all seven of the planet’s continents. His interests appear to be meditation, time, movement, change, God, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, ghosts, magic, creation, dreams, light, time travel, dualities, destiny, fate, nostalgia, and synesthesia. He’s responsible for most of the artwork on the site. He creates it upon waking from hypnogogic states.
Fenix, sadist
Fenix is an evil daemon, and he’s also one of the editors over here at Interopia. He is most interested in serial killers, genocide, mass murderers, nuclear weapons, disease, hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters.
Barnopulis, dreamer
Even he will admit to be a connoisseur of the absurd. Barnopulis is constantly coming up with new ideas. Usually they are just random and weird, but every now and then they are genius. He’s unemployed and spends most of his time ingesting hallucinogens, marijuana, and alcohol. He’s always whispering in people’s ears.
A love of travel binds them together. Trent and Dr. Tiwtta enjoy road trips and seeing the world. Ghoteman enjoys exploring the realms of the mind. And Fenix likes to teleport between concentric dimensions. At the moment, the group is based in Saigon, Vietnam, so that’s why you’ll see a lot of Vietnam-related content on the site.
Somehow, their collaboration works. The disparate personalities making up the group are the reason why Interopia covers so much ground: lists, original music and art, travel and education-related material. Even though they are all so different from one another, they still manage to come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts, in the most unexpected of ways.
