Groworld Bazaar @ Pixelache
After much organisation, shopping for seeds, clay, compost, drawing equipment, aronia berry products, packing, catching ferries, unpacking and then finally tidying up – Pixelache 2011 and FoAM’s groworld bazaar is over! Suomenlinna island was a great venue for the festival, despite the logistical challenges it brought a good vibe with it’s fortified buildings, village atmosphere…

Piksel 2010 (un)stable
Piksel 2010 (un)stable was the 8th piksel, and the second time I’ve been lucky enough to participate. I was there to present Naked on Pluto and general livecoding duties. I didn’t have as much time or energy to get involved with the other things going on as I’d have liked, so this is mainly a…

SchemeBricks GUI work
Some schemebricks hacking in preparation for a workshop I’m doing with Alex McLean at Piksel in a few weeks. This is just a case of making it work a little bit more like you’d expect – messing with empty parentheses:

m.a.r.i.n. hacklab at the sea
A few days of summertime in the Finnish archipelago at the M.A.R.I.N. hacklab at the sea.

Scheme Bricks 0.1
Finally an actual release of scheme bricks! (make sure you read the README, it’s not user friendly yet). I’ve unified the maths operations, previously you had to remember if you were working on nodes or numbers (the only two types in fluxa) now you can just use the standard + – * / (before you…

post chmod +x art
Back from Groningen, and my mind is full of all sorts of crazy ideas after GOTO10’s mini festival. Although mini in size, the quality of this event was very high. The day after arriving, Gabor and I did our best to introduce our workshop participants to livecoding and fluxus, from the basics of scheme to…

This week it’s finally time for: At Sign gallery Groningen, the Netherlands. I’m going to be doing a fluxus workshop with Gabor and a scheme bricks placard performance – the first one I’ve tried solo, I think! chmod +x art The computer as theatre, as writer of love letters, the computer as world, a place…
