Zomg. So excited as a goo completionist. 💖

A punk war call! So good.

Today is brought to you by the letter N for neurospicy. I've now spent 5 hours detailing a chair. Totally normal, nothing to see here.

Oh hell yes

This looks so fun!!!

34. The pedagogy of joy and engaged presence This chapter presents a transformative pedagogical approach to teaching creative technology that moves beyond technical proficiency to nurture personal growth, interconnectedness, and social impact. G...

Today, a book chapter I wrote on teaching in the creative arts came out. If you're interested in personal transformation through education, this one is for you! www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

Resonate is one more step to being real! My installation game is still dev art but my system is really coming along. It is hilarious wearing 3 heart rate monitors at once but here we are. Development :D.

Thanks. I’ve been trying Tidal and Apple Music for the same reason. Will check this out.

Thank you! ❤️

I’ve finally worked out how to do conferences. Now, I focus on my talk and do very little socializing. If folks resonate with what I say, they are worth my attention and vice versa. Otherwise, I am restful and take long walks. This is the way. There is no more running myself into the ground.

@alexglow.bsky.social great to connect today IRL. I adore your esp earring! 🔮

Thank you. 😊

Just went to Hardware Happy Hour and am genuinely excited for the @oshwassociation.bsky.social conference in Scotland tomorrow. ❤️❤️❤️

I have published my talk ahead of schedule on Notion if you would like to read it ahead of time to prepare: www.notion.so/phoenixperry...

If you're in the UK, now is the time to remove yourself from this party.

I never thought I’d say this but I’d take Sunak back at this point. This government is trash. The cuts, racism, and gender discrimination are shocking for a liberal government.

Burgess has tons of cherry trees. ❤️

I’m so excited for this talk.

Oooh inspiring. Do you know other zines like this? I am thinking about how to write one now.

What is wild is that if you do the math, the government takes half if you're in Europe, then [insert publisher] takes the other ~30%. No wonder the market is a mess. I can't think of another sector where people have 20% markup above cost. Imagine that markup in a shop. It would close.

immediate shop envy

As a woman who makes AI tools and has released, published about, and worked with AI since 2011 I can say firmly that until recently, lots of the interesting research was coming *from* women in the sector. ChatGPT (or LLMs) are a small slice of AI.

Got to a full low-fi working prototype today! 🎉 My new game uses haptics to cue the vagus nerve, plays sound, and connects 3 players via heart rate monitors to explore biosignal synchrony through sound, image, and vibration. It's cool to hear. If you're at the same rate, you trigger the same note.

Was aiming for MVP on my new art piece this week—didn't fully get there, but made solid progress: built a Swift app that connects to 3 Polar heart rate monitors, sends data to through Max, and drives my synth. Even got the ESP32 ready to talk to the app. ALMOST! Resonance is coming along!

ChatGPT is going to transform the number of women out there who are extremely competent coders. Why? Because it's free of all the gender bias and nonsense so common in coding ed materials and forums while also turning coding into a social, conversational process. Win, win.
