Make them useful.
FTN Platform is developed in Trinidad and Tobago by RealityArtTV Media. RickBoss works across its creative direction, production and platform development, alongside the artists, filmmakers, producers and project collaborators who contribute to the work.
FTN puts that thinking into practice: connect a question to reliable information, an artist to a way to share their work, or a community need to a practical next step. Each module addresses a specific task within a connected system. The demos below show how the ideas take shape.

Exposure Mondays.
A place to make and tell the story.
RealityArtTV is the media-production work behind the platform: recording, podcasting, interviews and visual storytelling. Its purpose is to give Caribbean people and creative projects a place to be seen, heard and documented.
That production background connects the people in front of a camera or microphone with the work behind it—recording, presentation, film collaboration and the digital spaces where an audience can find the result.

71 artists. Two seasons. A stage for Caribbean talent.
Exposure Mondays was a talent competition and performance showcase. Rick Boss and the Exposure Mondays team brought 71 artists to the stage across two seasons. It gave emerging performers the opportunity to share their talent, build confidence and take their work beyond their immediate community.
Our purpose was to give Caribbean talent an opportunity to be seen and heard on a world stage. That same purpose continues through FTN’s artist profiles, media platforms and creative tools.

Research & reasoningKeeping the context
Keeping the context
behind a decision.
Evidence-Bounded Retrodiction studies how a persistent AI agent can reconstruct a past sequence of events using the evidence available at the time. It asks how a system can preserve uncertainty rather than quietly rewrite its history.
Gill Reasoning brings the related questions into the project work: what do we know, what are we assuming, and what would change the decision?
