It weirdly feels like the world has been slowing down in the last few weeks, at least at the personal scale of the events and activities you see in the world around you. Like maybe a collective sense of uncertainty is making people hesitate or pause.

(Obviously the art that people share will vary in terms of what it does for you and how you react to it. A lot of older art that people share feels like it’s stood the test of time, and that’s a lot of what I see. Occasionally something newer will catch my attention too.)

It’s neat how you log onto this site expecting to do more inane social browsing like you’d do on other platforms, but here people also post art. It takes you out of your routine a little bit.

The noises they would make felt satisfying, and the specific tactile experience they had. The moment when the tape would leave your hands as it was loaded in the machine.

I enjoyed Neopets, but it also felt like a little bit of a childhood introduction to how communities/platforms could decline (I guess what adults would call “enshittificatiion”). It seemed like over a few years there got to be more sponsored instead of original games, & like certain site mechanics were simplified.

I’ve tried to think about that phenomenon before, and I think that’s a big part of it. I was especially thinking about it spatially, like that a Zoom interaction combines some of the elements of being with people in a small room with those of being the center of attention in a bigger room. Within a big lecture hall you can feel relatively anonymous in the crowd in a way that doesn’t quite happen on Zoom where a view of every audience member’s face is given equal weight. (Maybe there’s a reverse panopticon element occurring too, since in theory everyone else in the room is capable of looking at you at any time.)

I have a theory why zoom is more draining than either in-person or audio only. Audio demands less social energy and delivers less social energy in return. In-person takes more social energy, but delivers more social energy, not counting travel. Both equations are balanced. Zoom requires more social energy, but doesn’t deliver more social energy. Let us delve further. Performing for a camera requires putting your whole 3d body in performance mode, same as being physically present with another person. But a person viewed through a small 2d window only delivers a fraction of the social energy they are generating. You’d need a social energy Dyson sphere to capture and remote-transmit at equation-balancing levels. This suggests VR with some sort of synthetic performance might be interesting. Not crude low-poly mannequins or high-energy mocap, but posture synthesized from voice alone. So I can voice-act my avatar to be actively present while I’m stretched on couch. The way I take most audio calls.

Neat examination of an implied visual landscape, involving a detailed analytical process. From the artist’s description: “One of the surprises of working on a Windows95 themed project was to sort of discover an implicit world behind the system images Microsoft (and later other third parties) created.”

The most ETH-related work has been my involvement with the Summer of Protocols program. Addressable Space (https://summerofprotocols.com/research/addressable-space) is an essay on how digital information organizes our perceptions of physical space, and FutureRack (https://futurerack.info/main.php) explores server racks as a standardized protocol which could also be used in new places like people’s homes.

Hello Farcaster! I meant to join sooner, and I’ve been hearing enough about it in real life that I’m now here.
