Heartbroken I missed out on this!

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Don’t want to be the middle aged guy talking about computer games on the internet, but if Leon S. Kennedy dies later this week I will riot.

Spent most of today updating the visuals for a musical virus.

Problem now is access but I’ll find a way

I haven’t sat at a drum kit and just made noise in years and frankly it’s starting to show on my mental health.

Oh I’m in.

The Distance of Blue - Digital Exhibition The Distance of Blue is an online pavilion for The Wrong Biennale 7th Edition curated by Ping Ho, exploring the ocean as a metaphor for longing, transformation, and digital imagination.

Some of my recent sonic work will be installed with the The Distance of Blue Pavilion for the Wrong Biennale at Millennium Film Workshop in New York on March 6.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring has always been a surveillance tool, but adding AI analysis and networking the devices together — like with its "Search Party" feature — turns discrete pieces of tech into massive, automated surveillance dragnets, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social writes. www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

Find yourself a partner who loves you like the experimental music underground loves Giorgio Agamben's most questionable works.

Was Modern Art Really a CIA Psy-Op? - JSTOR Daily The number of MoMA-CIA crossovers is highly suspicious, to say the least.

We've hit the point of the semester in my Digital Art class where we have to ask, given how entangled the military industrial complex was computer art and avant garde 20th c art more generally, was the whole thing just a CIA Psy-Op:

I've got a fun little piece called Terminus Recoded at the Metatopia Pavilion by Aisthesis Lab for the Wrong Biennale at the moment. It's a re-cut of the much loved classic Micro-Commando Diatron-5 (1985) to my track, Terminus Abruptus:

My unsung hero of science: Frank Malina – fearless rocket engineer, groundbreaking artist and communist ‘traitor’ The first in a new series dedicated to little-known but highly influential scientists.

A fearless rocket engineer, groundbreaking artist and communist ‘traitor’

Dr @stephenroddy.bsky.social shares the life and legacy of Frank Malina in a new series dedicated to unsung heroes of science on @theconversation.com.

Yeah. Pretty bleak

Thanks! He led a crazy life. Didn't even get into the strangely prophetic film script himself and Parsons shopped around Hollywood or the fact that he supported that artistic career with money from his stake as a co-founder of Aerojet.
I also left out the really depressing McCarthy era horrors.

The @uk.theconversation.com are launching their new series on little-known but highly influential scientists with my piece on Frank Malina. It covers his time as an early pioneer of Rocket Science and as highly influential Artist later: doi.org/10.64628/AB....

It is very elegant to be fair. Like you program the microcontroller as normal and then pass values across to scripts in computer part in Linux. They seem to be supporting python in that side and it’s all very easy. Like, really simplifies things having both on 1 board. I’d totally recommend it.

I’m trying to come up with a project for it actually so maybe!

Which is nerd talk for ‘I am enjoying this bank holiday immensely’.

Finally cracked open this new Uno Q and got the MCU and MPU to start exchanging data. As an SBC it's as ganky as you'd expect but, there's potential here for auditory display and digital art. Wish it had been a pure arduino initiative though, I'm suspicious of this qualcomm move

The world is a joke

I may be underpaid but at least I’m over educated .

Ha! No.
