Yes, a very nice text by Agre. There was a conference and a book publication at the Orpheus Institute a few years ago. I like the book: orpheusinstituut.be/en/publicati...

"It [the proposed new SuperCollider] could also reveal whether the Higgs field has reached a final, stable resting state or whether another drastic transition could occur in future, a scenario that would see the universe as we know it evaporate almost instantaneously."

He's been making art. This language is very pure, very beautiful, very expressive. I'm having fun already.

James McCartney (@asynth.bsky.social), author of SuperCollider, a language that changed the landscape of computer music, has just released a new audio programming system called sapf or, "sound as pure form". I am looking forward to this weekend! github.com/lfnoise/sapf?

How did a man lacking all the desired qualities of a good human become so powerful? This is the question media and political analysts, psychologists and sociologists, are pondering right now. From the British perspective, it's even weirder: thenewgeneration.blog/2025/01/25/w...?

During the Cold War, digital art was politicised to the degree that many had a distaste for it - naturally. The political moves of recent years have hijacked artificial intelligence. I wonder if cognitive science will survive this?

Thanks Óscar. I hope this can be a good platform for discussions. Still checking the waters, but the platform is promising. I wasn't jelling that well with Mastodon as I felt it was too much of a FB copy and the server instances felt somehow like bubbles.

Always looking for an open, decentralised, town square style place for discussions and new music. Wondering if Bluesky could be such a place?
