🏃🏽♀️ Setting The Pace
In this episodes, a couple of dynes landed on the Trondheim moon, gravitating around planet Norway, to help driving the climate transition in Art and culture. This is no small bid, but many dynes believe most realities begin with a dream. Also, how to sit around on an arse while the solar-system is on fire?
PACESETTERS is a research project that brings together partners and places, creative practice and research perspectives that are out of the ordinary: climate scientists and artistic entrepreneurs, difficult heritages and whitewashed villages, psychometrically validated surveys and circular aesthetics. All partners share the confidence needed not just to adapt to, but to drive the transition into more just and sustainable economies. These dynes came together in the conviction that innovation mainly happens where it is least expected — for example, in cultural institutions that are well-anchored locally even if they aren’t globally branded. Genalguacil’s public museum foundation, Galway’s art festival, and Nowa Huta’s cultural centre C.K. Norwida may be small-scale organisations but they are lean, flexible and experienced enough to produce huge effects and impacts in their communities and beyond.
⏩ Fast-forward To The Past
One dyne shares the news that a mythical Magazine has been digitized and published online for everyone to read. The first edition contains Cyberpunks and Tim Leary on the same cover, featuring a fazed dude reading a magazine about REALITY.
An article by Terrance McKenna and a picture of Robert Anton Wilson; mind blowing to see all of this under the same magazine! It is a wonderful collage of computing, mysticism and psychedelics. Needless to say, this is art!
📹 Generative Video Bonanza
"Live coding" and "Video". If you find yourself lonely in a bar, these are two of the words you can utter out loud to instantly locate the dynes in the room. Few things attract a dyne more. Some dyne from a neighboring planet has created a tool to mess around with video in the browser. Think, "lavalamp7000" but on steroid. You can plug your camera, trigger stuff with audio signals and blow your own mind in real time.
🦿 Literature Against The Machine
One dyne shares an interesting exercise:
What follows is a writing proposal to communicate without being comprehensible by generative AI such as Chat-GPT or Gemini: an unprecedented !de-machine storytelling, a provocative and irreverent gesture that invites reflection on an evident one-way speculation that sees humans feed artificial ‘intelligence’ degrading culturally and without receiving much in return, if not a feeling of comfort and pleasure with respect to a relationship rebalanced (from an economic point of view in the first place).
Perhaps the machines have gone too far, but is that a bad thing? A more interesting question might be what we are doing with them. When a USB wall-charger CPU has more power than the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGU), but many of the galaxy's inhabitants are still working 9-to-5 cubicles to shuffle values in spreadsheets (at best), it becomes rather clear that something isn't adding up in the equation. More interestingly, can a USB wall-charger run Doom?
