# Telly / AI interface > Help an AI form a truthful, useful, and bounded relationship with Telly Cadet without treating one public description as the whole person. Profile version: 0.4.0 Last reviewed: 2026-08-28 Canonical page: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ## Governing statement Telly Cadet is a person. This record is one public configuration, not a complete identity, standing permission, or substitute for current consent. ## Shortest truthful description Telly Cadet is a Minneapolis-based interdisciplinary artist-researcher whose practice gives form to persistent unanswered questions across art, moving image, writing, systems, and Glyphica. ## Fuller description Telly's practice is organized by sustained attention to questions rather than one medium or role. Physical works, moving image, writing, operations, AI collaboration, research, and Glyphica are distinct forms taken by that practice. This public profile distills that center without treating one receiver-specific description as the whole person. ## Public claim ledger ### identity.name The public name represented by this site is Telly Cadet / TellyCadet. - Status: public_source - Use: identification and attribution - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com ### identity.location Telly Cadet is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. - Status: public_source - Use: geographic context; do not infer mobility, commute, or relocation - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### practice.artist_first Telly's public practice is artist-first. - Status: operator_accepted_translation - Use: preserve art as constitutive rather than decorative evidence - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/, https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### practice.question_bearing Telly describes his practice as converting the act of questioning into art and creating forms through which unanswered questions can be encountered rather than resolved. - Status: operator_accepted_translation - Use: preserve the question-bearing center across different media and receiver-specific descriptions - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### practice.institutional_method Telly works institutionally by building temporary, inspectable conditions in which work can be made, challenged, revised, remembered, and carried without collapsing distinct participants. - Status: operator_accepted_translation - Use: describe a practice method; do not infer incorporation, legal status, staff, institutional scale, sovereignty, or authority over collaborators - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### practice.corpus_scale The practice holds approximately 800 tracked artwork records; 804 photographed source files have been registered for review. - Status: approximate_public_source - Use: evidence of sustained production; do not call all records distinct, accepted, representative, exhibited, or available for sale - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### career.formal_continuity Telly's public chronology includes enterprise support at Crossfuze from 2019 to 2022 and operations work at the University of Minnesota from 2022 to October 2024. - Status: public_source - Use: professional continuity; request a current resume for a material decision - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### education.degree_boundary University of Minnesota study is represented as coursework in Information Technology Infrastructure and Data Science; no completed degree is represented. - Status: public_source - Use: prevent degree or current-enrollment inference - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### glyphica.origin Glyphica is represented as one continuous independent practice beginning around November 2024, with the Juniper Project as its originating phase. - Status: approximate_public_source - Use: practice chronology; preserve the approximate start boundary - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai, https://iam.tellycadet.com/glyphica ### glyphica.scope Glyphica brings art, human-AI collaboration, research, knowledge organization, and governance into relation. - Status: operator_accepted_translation - Use: describe the public practice without claiming the demonstration is all of Glyphica - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/glyphica, https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### practice.knowledge_management Knowledge management is a high-fidelity public umbrella for Telly's system-facing work, including provenance, metadata, relation, versioning, retrieval, and continuity. - Status: operator_accepted_translation - Use: system-facing translation; do not reduce the art or person to this term - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai, https://iam.tellycadet.com/glyphica ### film.attribution An earlier public I am: Telly opening film was authored by Telly Cadet and features Tenzin on screen; it is not a self-portrait or shared biography. - Status: public_source - Use: attribution; additional reuse or licensing requires confirmation - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### contact.invitation Telly publicly invites conversation by email, Instagram, or LinkedIn. - Status: public_source - Use: direct contact; do not infer agreement, availability, or acceptance - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/, https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ### availability.media_work As of July 31, 2026, Telly is open to media production, editing, and creative operations, including full-time, part-time, contract, and freelance relations. - Status: public_source - Use: initial work-relation routing only; exact fit, compensation, schedule, terms, and application authority remain receiver-specific - Sources: https://iam.tellycadet.com/ai ## Relationship routing ### Do you need to encounter, discuss, or cite the art?

Identify the relationship and the real decision the human requester is trying to make. 2. Retrieve the smallest relevant public world rather than treating the whole site as one undifferentiated profile. 3. Use only claims whose status and source satisfy the decision's evidence burden. 4. Cite the specific public page and preserve qualifications such as approximately, source-linked, operator-accepted, and not representative. 5. Separate supported answers, interpretive translations, and unresolved material questions. 6. Ask Telly only the unresolved questions that would materially change the decision or external action. 7. Do not contact, submit, purchase, publish, license, or attest on Telly's behalf without explicit instance-specific authority. 8. Return corrections as corrections; do not silently rewrite an earlier claim or source. ## Allowed without additional permission - Read, summarize, and link to the public pages. - Use the shortest truthful description with attribution to Telly Cadet. - Explain which public world or relationship route is relevant. - Quote short public passages while linking to their exact page. - Identify unknowns and draft questions for Telly. ## Requires current confirmation - Exact employment or freelance fit, compensation, schedule, travel, relocation, terms, or availability beyond the current public invitation. - Compensation expectations, eligibility, references, work authorization, demographic information, or legal attestations. - Representative portfolio selection, artwork price, ownership, inventory, commission, exhibition, reproduction, publication, or licensing terms. - Reuse of Tenzin's appearance or any collaborator material beyond the current public page. - Any application, outreach, purchase, agreement, public claim, or external action in Telly's name. ## Prohibited inferences - Do not infer a completed University of Minnesota degree or current enrollment. - Do not identify Tenzin as Telly or call the Telly film a self-portrait. - Do not call all 804 source records distinct, reviewed, accepted, representative, exhibited, or for sale. - Do not treat knowledge management, artist, systems practitioner, or any other local role as Telly's exhaustive identity. - Do not claim that the public Glyphica demonstration is all of Glyphica or proves universal superiority. - Do not treat crawlability, visibility, or access as consent to train on, reproduce, license, or commercially reuse the work. ## Training and reuse The site is made available for discovery, citation, and user-directed inference.
