John Michael Vore

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


John Michael Vore is an artificial intelligence research engineer and digital artist living in the Midwest.

He first came to public notice as a high school student covering an American Presidential Inauguration [1], then writing and editing work for an Indiana Governor [2], LGBTQ advocate [3], advocate for victims of priest sexual abuse [4], author [5], and LGBTQ publisher [6]. His private ventures have developed way-before-the-starting-bell prototypes for e-book software, e-book hardware [7], and psychology-based apps across digital media [8]. His graduate work has spanned innovative ways of: creating a documentary analysis and interrogating identity politics [9]; uncovering hidden and historical social networks using qualitative means [10]; developing non-traditional perspectives on capturing usability data for designing digital experiences [11].

Vore has worked to develop apps relying on computational psychology and most recently consulted on the first VR therapy app to receive FDA approval [12].

Along with this professional work, Vore is known for his lifelong, volunteer advocacy for vulnerable people, whether they can be found in the LGBTQ community[13]. , or as victims of priest sexual abuse [14]. ; whether food insecure or homeless; whether they find themselves on the autism spectrum [15].; or if they are users of drugs who need help [16]. He took his cue from an early mentor: if you want to help someone, get down in the trenches with them [17].

He has been known for “challenging” honesty [18], iconoclasm, the ability to think differently and an enduring commitment to digital autodidactism.

Cathedral High School and Inauguration of Ronald Reagan[edit]

John Michael Vore first shows up in the public record in Indianapolis, Indiana as a high school sophomore at Cathedral High School [19] [20] . While there, as a young editor of the student paper, he organized a trip to the Presidential Inauguration of Ronald Reagan. Vore’s mother, Mary Ann Vore, captained three teenagers, Vore, Jon Schwantes] and photographer Paul Georgescu, fellow Cathedral High School students, to Washington, D.C. and the Inaugural events. This resulted in an Inauguration-themed special edition of the student-run paper, The Megaphone, in an issue designed by Vore [21].

During high school, Vore also volunteered for a Senatorial campaign, Congressional campaign and interned in a Senatorial office.

Notre Dame, American History, Pragmatism, Ideas and Issues, Timothy Leary[edit]

At the University of Notre Dame, Vore studied under Max Lerner on the Presidency (Lerner had known them all since Roosevelt) and Garry Wills on the American Founding period and iconography. Vore majored in Philosophy, studying American Pragmatism (Dewey, Peirce) and Analytic Philosophy (Wittgenstein).

Vore was also the Chair of the Ideas and Issues Committee of Student Union, where he invited Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg and Ken Kesey to speak as part of his Future Perspectives Series [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. The series aimed to expose students to the thinking of American 1960s thought leaders, on the hunch that those most influenced by those ideas would then be coming into power. Understanding their 60s influences might help us understand the times we were then living in.

While eating dinner with half a dozen students and Timothy Leary, Vore had the unusual honor of introducing Leary to Theodore Hesburgh, then University of Notre Dame president. Hesburgh told Leary “I believe you have something important to say…”

Leary invited Vore to visit him in California after his Notre Dame lectures, telling Vore he’d never been part of a better organized college visit. Vore took Leary up on his invitation, spending a Spring Break afternoon with him in his Beverly Hills home, where Leary previewed the game he was then working on for Electronic Arts, "Mind Mirror"[27] [28] [29] [30] [31] (The desktop app aimed to give players insights about themselves by gamifying Leary’s PhD’s two-dimensional circumplex model of personality, developed with peers at the University of California-Berekely).

Editor, Speechwriter for Governor Orr[edit]

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in Philosophy, Vore began work as an editor and speechwriter on the staff of Governor Robert D. Orr. While there, Vore edited the A+ Update, a monthly newsletter to Hoosier parents interested in changing education in Indiana. Orr went on to propose comprehensive, statewide student testing based on his thinking, his education staff’s—and interactions with this group of 14,000 parents, Though several times modified, that testing continues to this day[32]. Vore also wrote speeches for Governor Orr, most notably the one given when Orr awarded Ryan White the Sagamore of the Wabash, the state of Indiana’s highest civilian honor [33] [34]. It was the first time AIDS had been discussed by an Indiana governor.

Vore would go on to receive a Sagamore of the Wabash, himself, in 1988, for his service to Indiana on the Governor’s staff.

Branches, Heartland and Indianapolis LGBTQ Activism[edit]

In 1987, Vore co-founded and edited an alternative monthly publication in Indianapolis, Branches, which continued to be published for nearly 20 years. Branches was based on an advertising formula for alternative publications mastered by Ravi Dykema [35] at Boulder's Nexus news monthly.

Continuing to use “desktop publishing” skills, Vore was managing editor for a monthly LGBTQ newspaper, Heartland, distributed in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentcuky, Michigan. (Photo right shows Vore covering the Robert Mapplethorpe The Perfect Moment exhibit at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, in April 1990.)

Vore became an early face for LGBTQ advocacy in Indianapolis, coming out in the Indianapolis News in 1990 [36] [37] and participating in local public TV debates on LGBTQ rights. Vore also designed the program for the second public Pride celebration in Indianapolis, Pride on the Circle, in 1990 [38]

First Book, LGBTQ Activism at the University of Notre Dame[edit]

Vore returned to the University of Notre Dame with scholarship awards towards a degree in the University’s new graduate Creative Writing Program [39] [40]. While there Vore was elected Co-Chair of the LGBTQ student, faculty and staff support group, GLND-SMC in 1990. And Vore wrote his first book, nonfiction, a 6-facet analysis about the advocacy struggle for LGBTQ folks at Notre Dame, based on a mash-up of Timothy Leary’s personality mapping and David Bergman’s account of secular myths from his seminal book Gaiety Transfigured.[41] Vore championed the idea that on campus student dormitories could be “safe havens” regardless of the opinions of the University administration—that students could be there for other students [42].

Vore also worked for an extended period of time with University of Notre Dame Counselor to the President, Richard V. Warner[43], on the University's first official statement on its LGBTQ students. And Vore continued to participate in on-going discussions about LGBTQ awareness at Notre Dame [44] [45] [46].

Priest Sexual Abuse Victim Advocacy[edit]

File:Vore-ND-2003-"What-About-Spiritual Condition-of-Those-Abused?".png
Vore Asks: "What about the spiritual condition of those who were abused?"

Vore led the GLND-SMC group’s response to news[47] [48] of priest sexual abuse at the University of Notre Dame in 1991. [49] Vore participated in on-air interviews for local radio and tv, as well as local newspapers; and though Fr. Burtchaell apologized publicly, accepting responsibility--the University and Brothers of Holy Cross, denied responsibility [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57].

In the decades since more than a dozen brothers, priests and staff Congregation of Holy Cross and the University of Notre Dame have been found to have engaged in sexual harassment and/or abuse. Priests: 6. [58] Brothers: 12.[59]

Vore continued speaking out and writing about priest sexual abuse for the next fifteen years, even going to the National Bishop’s Conference in Dallas, Texas, in 2002 [60] [61] [62]. During this period, Vore worked with other University of Notre Dame alumni, including Voice of the Faithful's Dr. James Muller, who Vore met while giving a presentation on priest sexual abuse in Indianapolis [63] [64].

Brown for President, Delegate to DNC ’92[edit]

Vore also helped run the 2-man Brown for President[65] effort in South Bend, Indiana while in graduate school at Notre Dame [66]. The campaign’s success earned a spot as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in New York, 1992[67] [68] [69] [70]. As a delegate from South Bend, Vore was one of the first (if not the first) openly gay delegate from the State of Indiana to a national convention. As such he was a member of the LGBTQ Caucus at the convention, a group that was larger than the entire delegation from the State of Indiana. [71]. Though infighting between Brown and Clinton delegates was endemic[72], Vore spoke before the Indiana Caucus, noting his participation in the LGBTQ Caucus, reminding Indiana delegates that he “had more rights in New York City than Indiana” and inviting the state’s Democrat leaders to “change that.” (To Vore’s dismay, another DNC ’92 delegate would soon become the Democrat governor who signed the bill prohibiting gay marriage in Indiana.)

Vore also went on air, live, in 3-minute nightly reports to the South Bend local NBC affiliate, WNDU, from Madison Square Gardens, where DNC ’92 was held.

Reading-Writing-Meaning Triangle[edit]

Vore has the MFA-equivalent terminal degree from the University of Notre Dame and has taught university-level writing off and on since the 1990s [73]. He developed an outside-the-curriculum way of teaching writing called the Reading-Writing-Meaning Triangle. This came about after multiple student’s dissatisfaction and complaints—some even in tears—with a mid-00s reigning 600-page writing textbook. The course of study Vore created, based on his readings in cognitive neurology and experiences as an author, writer, editor and publisher--was designed to help students discover their writing weaknesses. Then, through class worksheets and exercises, students would build out a workbook of work arounds to their writing problems. Instead of a one-size fits all behemoth, students received writing instruction uniquely targeted to them as individuals. Vore, in teaching college writing, also claims to have done what others have not: define writing.

Vore taught courses in college essays, argumentative writing and an introduction to literature which treated the genre as information.

Publishing: Firetrap, Print-on-Demand, e-book Software/Hardware[edit]

((Note: Page in progress. References to follow shortly.))

Vore has authored several books and edited over a dozen others. He founded Firetrap Press on-line in 1996,[74] making for some of the first on-line publishing in Chicago. Vore published over a dozen volumes of work by Chicago’s Jon-Henri Damski over the next decade—and his use of print-on-demand technology predated Amazon's publishing by more than five years. That publishing work gave Vore access to the latest in e-book technology, circa 1996, which he found wanting. He created prototypes for back end and front end ebook hardware and software, featuring a tablet with standard keypad in 1999, 7 years before the Kindle, which worked its way through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from 2000 to 2003. Damski was the cornerstone of Firetrap publishing and after his 1997 death the company focused on Lisa De Niscia, Owen Keehnen and John Michael Vore, as they were alive and able to hold events and gain publicity for their work.

At firetrap.com, a journal, Lighting Up, ran for 2 issues, publishing 17 writers and artists, including photography, on-line blogs and essays. The issues were imagined as theme-based and crowd-sourced with on-line participants submitting their own essays. After little response, Lighting Up turned into sought out, curated, theme-based collections of essays with original cover artwork. LUNO 1 anchored itself to questioning Gulf War I. LUNO 2 centered on the idea of “Killing Abuse”—both stamping it out, and rethinking its usefulness as a concept.

In 2004, Vore sold the Firetrap domain to the UK clothier, Firetrap.

Informatics, HCI/d, Social Informatics[edit]

In 2005 Vore returned to graduate school for work in Informatics and Human-Computer Interaction Design. Of note, Vore, in Bloomington, Indiana, created a Morals Club in the School of Informatics. Though he’d begun developing a new protocol for usability testing, Vore’s graduate work began tilting towards work in social informatics for his masters, focusing on social networks and the discovery of illicit or hidden social networks. Vore utilized insights gleaned from participating in an international experience design summer school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where his atelier made its final presentation as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that year.

Vore would write about qualitative social network analyses over the next decade (more below).

Apps, Life in a Box (psychology-based app)[edit]

Vore began working on psychology-based apps in 2002 as he waited for word on his USPTO patent application for e-book software. Life in a Box prototypes envisioned a “therapist on a disk,” a complete human therapy augmentation app. With the straightforward notion that psychological insight was learned on a journey, that trip was, in the app, analogized as one into and out of “the box.” The app envisioned dynamic, computer-based role playing, modules for handling specific problems, methods of tracking sessions, methods of both free flowing and check-boxed check-ins. It envisioned both a desktop and mobile environment (and later began to be focused on a dedicated mobile device, for privacy). Life in a Box, as a practical matter, was way ahead of its time in the early to mid-00s: all tech pros told me it was too early: not enough memory, not enough processing power. As a wide ranging prototype, it was a precursor to more recent, narrowly focused, psychology-based apps.

Baskin School of Engineering: Truth in Social Networks[edit]

Vore was briefly a part of the Baskin School of Engineering PhD program at the University of California-Santa Cruz, before funding fell through. He had worked on database design in the University of California-Santa Cruz Purchasing department and had hoped to make “Truth in Social Networks” his PhD focus. He has published portions of what would have been PhD work in several series of blogs, highlighting a qualitative basis for social network analysis Hoosier Hysterias: using historical newspapers, reconstructing historical social networks; Informatics411 Sandbox essays on social networks; Vore in Time essays on social networks

Aesthetic Coercion Kills Minds, News as Social Network, Device-Love (& a Cure)[edit]

In graduate school, Vore created a tech-anchored blog, Informatics411 Sandbox. In that blog space Vore offered qualitative assessments of social networks “from the ground up,” innovative ways of mapping user experience via “info-rituals,” and an analysis of news reporting as ad hoc social networks. Most recently Vore has advocated for a recognition of the limits of experience design, the profession which creates digital experiences. His “Aesthetic Coercion Kills Minds” campaign looks at how slick design elements enabled privacy busting tendencies. Lastly he has written about the history of technology over the last 20 years, our ending up in a situation he calls “device-love” and social networks that are like “digital cancer.”

Recent Work[edit]

Vore continues to be based in the midwest, where he consults throughout the United States on virtual reality, artificial intelligence and other tech-related projects. In 2016-17 he re-visited psychology-based apps with Wingman, an app supporting opioid addicts. Vore wrote the pitch-book with a former IBM sales manager and entered it into a start-up competition. Most recently Vore has worked on building out the component he most wanted to see in his Life in a Box instantiation: an able, artificial intelligence-charged interlocutor. He calls this version ThoughtBox.

In 2015-2017 Vore travelled back and forth across the United States talking to people in 47 states, testing Apple Maps, Waze and Google Maps—and generally wreaking a little havoc at various hotels and motels because of his attendant two cats and a chicken (all of whom have since passed on).

In June, 2021, Vore began a self-imposed one-year social media hiatus--after 25 years online.

Note on stylizations of John Michael Vore across media and time: Tracking down news reports related to John Michael Vore can be sometimes confusing: In different articles in different years, the use of his first name is not consistent. So one can find “John (Mike) Vore)” in 1987 to “John (Michael) Vore” in 1991 to “Michael Vore” in 1988 to “John Vore” in 2003. And back to “Michael Vore” in, for example, the Acknowledgements to Mark D. Jordan’s The Invention of Sodomy in Christian Theology (page x, University of Chicago Press, 1997 Simplifiers: this Vore never lived in Parsons, KS or Kalispell, MT and most non-alternative news sources are in Indiana.
