'it seemed like we were moving closer together' is a 2021 interactive art installation about contact, technology, transistors and critters.
Short video documentation:
Updated #introduction (2021):
I make art.
Sometimes I write.
My work is about #networks , including technology systems and complex more-than-human relationships.
I create interactive art installations using wood, paint, drawings, light, electronics, code, sensors, film & sound.
I always collaborate, including with animals, fungi, humans, trees, mould & birds.
I try to make my work accessible and with low environmental impact (please tell me if I fail).
My body is in Ireland.
I'm hopeful.
Trans*feminist servers…
A wishlist that expands the feminisms of a document that became known as “The Feminist Server Manifesto”

Call for Participation:
OPENCOIL workshop 🔋🔋🔋
"The pavements of many cities have been flooded by so-called 'dockless sharing vehicles'. This workshop explores the impact of such micro-mobility services on (public) urban space by re-appropriating their decentralised infrastructure as a space for experimentation, while also addressing the conditions and effects of this infrastructure."
Deadline: August 21

i shot a roll of film from a little point and shoot @liaizon found in a dumpster. there was b&w film already loaded- turns out the wrong iso, so most of the photos didn’t turn out. the ones that did have an almost mythic quality to them…

This has happened me before. For example, I once spent a long time writing very convoluted JavaScript to make a web-based artwork react only at moments of inactivity. This was so counter-intuitive to the language that it took many lines of code to do something that would have only taken one line if my goal had been to make it reactive to activity (such as a click or a hover).
This was also a lesson in the bias toward constant activity in-built into web programming.
I am trying to make my CSS animations more jerky, like old paper-cut animations. I need to do this in CSS for a couple of reasons which are not important here. What is interesting is how I am looking for tips on doing this, typing things like "making CSS animations more jerky/choppy" into search engines. All of the results are queries on fora like "my animation is too choppy" or "how to make animations more smooth".

Let's start with "Morale is Mandatory (Algorithm Livery)".
Incorporating facial recognition hardware and a model provided by Google for schoolchildren in its “AIY Vision Kit,” which was sold at Target, this artwork scans for nearby faces. If each face is deemed sufficiently cheerful, they count towards a meter of “smiling faces.”
It hints at the potential for state or corporate monitoring of mood. Imagine a customer service job that mandates a percentage of joy.
Hello hello!
So, first an #introduction
I'm Camilo, a visual artist and designer from Bogotá living in Rotterdam. Usually getting lost while learning and making. Drawing is my first impulse when thinking and very often I find myself making connections between things.
These days I´m one half of 'attempt', an intuitive and independent publishing project for written and visual language, and also I'm co-organizing Zine Camp Festival in Rotterdam, a free festival for making zines and sharing small publications.
Happy to be here to start sharing and circulating more processes! 🌱
BTW: in case folks reading this have a cool FOSS project that needs funding, please be aware that we have a deadline for submitting these tomorrow (August 1st) noon.
Don't feel intimidated - it is really light-weight to submit something (you can do it in less than an hour if need be).
Have a look at https://nlnet.nl/propose -
Some people might argue, that you can make “good use” of these so-called platforms and that there are a lot of examples. I don’t think that you can make “good use” of an Internet technology whose main functioning is to suck off data from every interaction.
The usage thesis: “tech bias derives not from any essential trait of the underlying technology but from the social and historical uses of technology by human subjects. According to the usage thesis, code and software are essentially passive substrates that can be ‘embedded’ with values.” (Alexander Galloway, The Gender of Math https://read.dukeupress.edu/differences/article/32/3/1/293536/The-Gender-of-Math?guestAccessKey=c4c277ed-6859-4f6a-9b32-b9fc98ae5560)
Since nearly half of all carbon emissions in video conferencing happen on the network, self-hosting a video conferencing server like BBB as close to the users as possible can have a significant reduction in emissions.

9) Lawrence Abu Hamdan – Walled Unwalled
I sat down in a strange timber room built inside a larger concrete room to experience this audio installation by Abu Hamdan. I was complete submerged in it in seconds.
His voice, the drum, the mysteriousness of how it is told...Physical borders between nations are growing in number, and this is their story.

8) Chen Chieh-Jen – Empire's Borders I
Spent a long time at this work when it was shown at Dublin Contemporary, 2011. It took a while for it to click, but when it did...
On one wall are four videos of reenacted interviews between Taiwanese women and US consular officers. A perpendicular wall had four videos of Chinese women married to Taiwanese, in conversation with Taiwan's National Immigration Agency. In both, power is used to discriminate, abuse, and refuse entry.
Part-human assemblage from Ireland.
I arrange artworks from paint, wood, plastic, raspberry pi, people, words, dialogues, arduino, sensors, fungi, web tech, light and code.
