hey Lurk, last minute call! If you are in #rotterdam, I will be hosting a workshop on comp(h)osting phones: hosting servers on retired smartphones at #v2 on Thursday 16.04.26, 15:00-17:30

(...)
Starting from our most intimate and familiar device—the smartphone—this workshop aims to explore the material infrastructure that supports our online lives. In practice, you learn how to repurpose discarded smartphones into servers that host a simple webpage. This practice helps you to imagine other ways of building an Internet, one that places autonomy, reuse, and planetary limits at the forefront

Comp-Host-ing our Phones was developed by Marie Verdeil, in collaboration with @rein and with the support of @creativecoding

Joe Jackson - Hope and Fury | Pop | Written in Music

Met Hope and Fury keert Joe Jackson weer terug naar die zo vermaarde pop-meets-latin-meets-rock-stijl die hem in de jaren tachtig terecht zo populair maakte. Die zo lekker energieke stijl die zijn zo knap gearrangeerde songs zo ontzettend aanstekelijk maakt. We zijn ondertussen heel wat decennia verder nadat hij met Look Sharp! en I’m The Man […]

P.J.M. Bond - Coyote (King of the Island) | Roots | Written in Music

P.J.M. Bond introduceert zichzelf op zijn derde studio album Coyote (King of the Island) als een grootheid in Nederland. Natuurlijk zit hier behoorlijk wat zelfspot in verweven, maar je kan hem geen ongelijk geven, en daar zijn we ons bij Written In Music allang bewust van. Coyote (King of the Island) is een fraaie voortzetting […]

The Clockworks - The Entertainment | Alternative | Written in Music

Met alleen een goede debuutplaat, kom je er niet. Zoveel bands sneuvelen tijdens de aanloop naar de opvolger. Het Ierse The Clockworks had het geluk dat ze tijdens het opnameproces van Exit Strategy met Bernard Butler in zee konden. Ondanks deze grote naam brachten ze die plaat wel in eigen beheer uit. Bij de opvolger […]

Destructive Circuits is an artistic research project into the design and construction of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with reappropriated and hacked everyday digital technologies. It was developed as part of my Fellowship at V2_Lab for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam.

The project combines archival investigation, critical inquiry and practice-based artistic exploration to gain new perspectives on the ways the development of IEDs is intertwined with globalized techno-consumerism and media politics.

The publication Destructive Circuits: A Machine Archaeology of Improvised Explosive Devices (2024) includes essays, photos, a conversation between curator Florian Weigl and myself, and work descriptions. It can be downloaded here for free (but printed copies are available as well): https://v2.nl/publications/destructive-circuits

The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT

Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]
