I remember about a decade or so ago ranting to a friend about how our future would be haunted by our dead relatives and friends spamming us incessantly (thus proving that any sufficiently advanced technology will try and part you from your cash):

Some glimpses of our work Argomorphs at ‘Liquid Chimeras’, our first European solo show at MEET Digital Culture Centre in Milano, curated by Eleonora Brizi
excited to be soon setting up our upcoming show at the MEET centre in Milan, always nice to be able to do so in person (never a given with the global world we live in, sadly)
will the way of making sense of the current status quo be the snaring, sacrificing, and reading the entrails of one of these lobster-themed bots?
dead internet theory endgame? (also, yes, atrociously wasteful ... and no-one has managed to give me any clear idea of what these agents have actually produced of measurable value, aside from some neat fuel for schadenfreude)
I am continuously delighted by how scaling certain computational processes inevitably causes all kinds of organic quirks
Been positively pleased with the "set-and-forget" nature of Bambu, they (whilst problematic in terms of openness) are really quite good at the streamlined, focus on "the print not the config" experience. That said, for hacking or tuning, Prusa might be the better long-term bet, but ymmv.
arxiv.org/abs/1204.1749 what I want to know is how do I create the adapters that let my old PC utilise crabby computation?
turns out Apple had it right all along when they introduced a mouse with a single button.. right place, just too early.
the sky was the colour of a moody skybox
(I really do mean "essay" in a quoted sense, it's more a rambling connecting the dots that may-or-may-not make sense)
Making doesn't occur in a vacuum. Every process happens within a blizzard of context which can prove equally difficult to communicate as to navigate.
Therefore, I decided to try something different, and have updated the entropic.contagion with a braindump "essay":

Very grateful to everyone who came, and supported last night’s debut of ‘entropic.contagion’, my first solo work in over eight years!
A special thanks to NXT Museum & Prosus for inviting me to participate in this residency, Robert M. Thomas for composing an amazing soundtrack.
tonight: the early-onset heat death of culture?
A little teaser from the making of my new solo work, ‘entropic.contagion’, debuting at NXT Museum in Amsterdam on Friday as part of their AI residency program.
Sound by the amazing composer Robert M. Thomas

body horror for jpgs (or, how I learned to love memetic mutations)
We have an unnerving ability to optimise for a minimum energy expenditure. Constantly exposing a constantly adapting system (the mind) to these new forms of (potentially) energy-saving platforms does seem obvious in light of that, but rife with un-expected consequences too.
Today's fascinating word: 'echoborg'.

The quiet satisfaction of a working prototype still actually executing and running (without crashing) many months later.
Having just read 'The Peripheral' and the Jackpot therein, this is especially chilling: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Have reached the «everything needs organising in spreadsheets» point of the year. Now waiting patiently for the inevitable urge to write my own small software for handling this to pass..
Was reminded today of my first, quite nervewracking, experience with programming robotic arms (that took place a good few years ago now, mind you)

‘decohering delineation’ on display as part of this years Expo Sunderland Arts Programme, curated by Debra Stewardson.
as a (mostly) visual artist I'm finding it quite funny that several months of labour is crystallising in the form of (finally) stable json outputs..
Excited to share documentation from the installation of 'self-contained 009.x' as part of the ‘Ai or NAY? Artificial vs. Intelligent' exhibition at the Media Majlis in Qatar, curated by Jack Thomas Taylor, and on display from January 15th until the 15th of May, 2025.
Finally our copy of Neo Botanica by VetroEditions arrived!
In it, along side so many amazing works, a series of botanical meditations we made for the @palaumusicacat.bsky.social in Barcelona
Signal, I'm sure there are even more de-meta'd ones out there, but Signal is simple enough in general use that it's "for everyone".
