Super happy with the latest prototype of my bi-oscillators, now under the fancy name neuromorph machinic rhythms #nmr, compatible with modular eurorack. I am looking so much forward to playing this live and so happy I invested for a 4 channel eurorack oscilloscope. I need the visual feedback when fine-tuning the individual patterns in order to have them self organize in polyrhythms.

I'll be officially working full-time as part of nonprofit, open access and free/open source research lab Then Try This (previously known as FoAM Kernow) from December.
Here's their new web site: https://thentrythis.org/
Here's how Amber and Dave made the company: https://fo.am/blog/2015/04/07/how-to-make-an-organisation-like-foam/
+ the latest articles of association and policies: https://github.com/fo-am/foam-kernow
can't wait to get started..

Yulia Sandamirskaya will show examples of algorithms and applications of #neuromorph|ic computing technology and sketch future research directions in this fast growing & exciting field. #FutureComputation #intel #AI #ml

Cleaned up my #workshop yesterday and found a box with old #prototypes and food storage of some mice plus mouse poop.
These are all examples of doing the same thing over and over again, my focus shifted from walking #robots to #rhythm and music, the #analog #electronics stayed the same. Enjoy #repetition and slow #change.

super happy to co-host:
Collective Conditions – by Elodie Mugrefya and Femke Snelting
This talk starts from five Codes of Conduct that are currently being used by trans*feminist collectives, intersectional activists and by hackspaces. How to make sure that these self-invented rules are generative and do not turn into excluding law-like ways of doing?
When: 19.04.2021 – 17:00 h

I still haven't found out how to embed videos in a toot, any help appreciated
Good old memories from a time I developed cortical models as part of the dynamic field theory research group (https://dynamicfieldtheory.org/). I did this video, fooling around with the interaction kernel.
John Spencer has put a soundtrack:

Favourite quotes from Eileen Hunt Botting's Artificial Life After #Frankenstein:
All creatures are artificial, since they are made by their surrounding social and cultural circumstances. [28]
The singularity is a Silicon Valley revival of the Hegelian end-of-history, outfitted in gray T-shirts and hoodies. [58]
[W]e should see AIs neither as mere objects nor as competitor subjects rather as "a vibrant materiality that runs alongside and inside humans." [77]
To be continued as I read along

Super excited to announce the release of paperback #Aesthetic #Programming: A Handbook of #Software Studies, written w/ Geoff Cox, published by @openhumanities Press. Open access PDF + open source (txt+code) Fantastic cover and design by @osp_kitchen : http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/aesthetic-programming/
Working on a paper submission for the #nime2021 conference and enjoying the power of octave (https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index) for creating plots from oscilloscope recordings using pulseview (https://sigrok.org/wiki/PulseView). Listen to it here https://soundcloud.com/fblchrstn/strong-coupling?in=fblchrstn/sets/polyrhythmic-explorations.

for me the most flexible way of traveling is the combination foldable bike & train. today on my way back from mülheim to cologne i quickly drove to duisburg, because mülheim main station was blocked for maintenance work. had a great ride.
ja ein kabel fehlte
plus there is more than the stream, live jitsi-rooms at your free choice , you will need to navigate through the front-page to find and yes here full info:
