@xpub @kazc @actinomy @l03s @lenuageetaitsousnospieds On a new episode of Xpub Gossips, this time with my lovely friend and perma-low-tech pop star @marieverdeil, for a session title Comp(h)osting (with) our phones. We had a lot of wonderful discussions about perma-low-tech (after watching the funky and radical video they made with @dasha "the mission is degrowth"), from idea of scales, the danger of romanticising low-tech aesthetics, social practices of collectivising as a radical alternative (compared to constantly developing new optimisations as a form of "leftist techno-solutionism"), and many other rad ideas.

We then went full termux mode with phones brought by the students! Marie joked about how "retired phones" could be the new raspberry pi, they are optimised for transport and battery, and we have an inherent intimate familiarity with them, i add that they understand other protocols like SMS (making them extra gossipy in many way because of the cross-protocol possibility)

There are much more links and images to explore (including the video by Marie and Dasha and her crazy nice guide on comp(h)osting) there: https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Comp(h)osting_(with)_our_phones

第一次正儿八经尝试安装 Linux 🍧

翻出了闲置多年的 ThinkPad X61~......清理掉厚厚的一层灰尘,短暂体验了一下运行缓慢的 Windows XP(注意到消息框窗口中有内框虚线的小按钮,点击“确定”之后浮现出来的一圈橙色矩形......小时候从来没注意到这些......)

然后换了硬盘和内存,配置了一些设置(sc.nvim),(伴随着风扇噪音)它开始发出声音....(一台20年老机器重新活过来,运行 PipeWire + SC,目前为止一切正常......)

明天试试sdr-rtl ... 🛰️

more NToET today...

trying to make parasite relations observable, but it unexpectedly turned into a regime/state observer: a sense of when the system is active, sparse, or near-extinct.

that in turn exposed another layer of confusion around the views themselves. the scrolling text field feels closer to a live spacetime monitor, while the raster keeps wanting to become an accumulated image instead. so end up tonight with temporal readbilty...

returning to Barricelli's Numerical Testing of Evolution Theories(1961) after not managing to continue it last semester.

just added a raster spacetime view next to the scrolling text view in SuperCollider, still in the phase of building ways to observe it, thought it feels slightly more legible now...

But even as it diffuses, objects always withdraw from any relation that tries to grasp them, as something in the water withdraws from the whole event. Withdraws from experience itself.
Reading Tim Ingold's <The Fountain>. He argues water and sound are the same diffusion event experienced differently: the hiss and tinkle in your ears, the wetness on your fingers, the sparkle in your eyes. Water doesn't exist prior to experience as a fixed thing. It emerges in encounter.
