It’s not magic - finding our way back to “just f*cking do it” from “move fast and break things”. Aaron Straup Cope #FACT2025

"We probably need to give up the transactional nature of our hope and do the thing that needs to be done because it needs to be done."

Pull quotes on immersive experiences, agency, and videogames @adrianhon.bsky.social #FACT2025

"To assemble people unprepared for an event and say that they are 'participating' if apples are thrown at them or they are herded about is to ask very little of the whole notion of participation. Most of the time the response of such an audience is halfhearted or even reluctant ... [and] pure cliché..."

ALLAN KAPROW ON HAPPENINGS (1966)

"..Actually, there isn't really real agency. You're basically a floating camera ... You don't really have much control, but you can just choose where you stand to watch it."

FELIX BARRETT / INTERVIEW WITH AH (2024)

"I see computer RPGs, especially modern ones, as having more in common with traditional storytelling, where we have a very limited scope of agency in the majority of them, even very open world games ... these tools are much more like films or books than tabletop RPGs or larps."

Dr. @debcha.bsky.social on making the best use of an abundance of decentralised renewable energy to rearrange the atoms of objects of the past, to objects of the future. #FACT2025 Future of Arts, Culture & Technology Symposium: www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/fac...

"I think of setting intentions this way as a kind of farfetching, in the sense of bringing something from far away up close, where you can get a better look at it, where you can better understand its contours and shape. Where you can contemplate what it's asking of you and what you are asking of it. Instead of wishing for a different future, farfetching invites you to haul that future into the present— in bits and pieces, if that's what it takes. It trades an empty hand for one with a grip on what's possible. All you have to do is pull."

- Mandy Brown

We had our first 2MWh month of solar production this month. We exported 1.7MWh of that to the grid. ☀️🏡🔋⚡️

Today’s home power plant stats: Generated 30kWh of solar. Exported 20kWh to the grid during the day. Charged our home battery. Exported another 5kWh as the sun went down and the grid needed it. 🏡 🔋 ☀️ ⚡️

15kW of solar and a 13.5kWh battery covered us for peak Adelaide summer energy use during a 40° day. Topped up the car, kept the house cool, recharged the home battery, exported battery power to the grid when it was struggling, and still generated 33kW more than we used. ☀️🔋🖤

A graph of our total solar production of 71.9kWh for the day.

A graph from the perspective of our home battery showing our home used 4.5kWh after the sun went down, and the supported the grid with 1.6kWh when it was struggling.

A graph from the perspective of the grid showing our home drawing 1kWh when the grid had excess power, and our solar exporting 32.6kWh of excess power during the day.
