Algomech  is a festival of algorithmic and

explores the creative potential of both code and machines.

The theme for the festival's third edition is *interlace* – taking a look
at unlikely and unusual inter-weavings of different art practices. As well
as the usual algorithmic rave, there'll be handmade dancing robots making
braids on a maypole, make-your-own-mechanical-techno, algorithmic Siberian
trance, interactive textiles, invented mystical instruments, live pop music
made from code, and much more.

Linux Lewis and loads more..

*Sonic Pattern*  [18
May, 7pm-9pm]

fragile machines. Simon Blackmore will collaborate with two drummers to

Agreed with the value of the essay
I suggest another worthwhile reading link by the beloved Laurie Penny:

Nakamoto mentions their sources in the bibliography to the Bitcoin
Whitepaper, so I'm not sure how people lost track of its lineage. Both
proponents and critics seem to have though so this is a very useful essay.

These statements leapt out as things I have been trying to draw people's
attention to:

"by tracing the origins of the ideas in bitcoin, we can zero in on
Nakamoto's true leap of insight—the specific, complex way in which the
underlying components are put together."

"It might come as a surprise to you that Nakamoto doesn't mention that
term [blockchain] at all."

[NetBehaviour] the rookery

[Alan Sondheim]

the rookery

http://www.alansondheim.org/rookery3.jpg

for a brief time the appearance of rookery3.jpg which is
nonetheless inadequate to bring the social interactions,
as if they were frozen in time, of a group of great blues,
into focus behind the big box store held at bay by the
declaration of humans that for the moment this place is
off-limits. barriers and litigations continue as we hold
in despair onto the moment stasis of what might be thought
of as a good conclusion. we think at best two decades
ahead on a practical level, surrounded by death and
entropy - even now, there are more dead than alive among
us. every image is an ephemeral anointing, every gesture
has already disappeared, every sound and sight feels the
sadness of noise and the whispers of orders on the wind.
every philosophy, book and paper and talk, is a proffering,
an image, metaphor and metonymy, dialog, whisper in the
dark as if it were the bright light of day. the day brings
nothing to the event, the night, in its honesty, less. we
want to keep it that way. we want to nest, we want to make
a home.
