I’m Luke Finsaas — a multi-disciplinary artist, graphic and web designer, and developer, originally from Minneapolis and now living in Amsterdam.
StudioRampage is my attempt to bind it all together in a not-boring way: the design, the writing, the code, the art.
Before this, I founded the experimental literary magazine Revolver — its literary events won Best of Minnesota from the Star Tribune — published the Book of Admiration in an edition of just sixty copies, designed The Dark Room at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, staged immersive Popol Vuh readings, and led US operations at an IT-security consultancy for Fortune 500 clients.
A thread runs through all of it: a suspicion of scale for its own sake. The Book of Admiration started from a question — what happens if we remove the pressure of sales, likes, engagement? What if we rejected scale outright?
Can Elon Musk Buy My City? comes from the same place. It’s a collaborative experiment in using AI differently — many people working with a single agent — and a way to make the sheer scale of hyperwealth legible. Art, research, and a proof of concept, bound together.
