Two weeks ago I taught a class called Ethicsware at @sfpc_nyc, on thinking of technology outside of frameworks of labor and servitude, and instead thinking of effort — forms of effortful software that can manifest as methods for care and self-examination. Software from me to me, not as a bot or an Other, but like a letter to myself in the future. I’m still thinking and feeling the sense of shared curiosity and care created by everyone. Thank you to organizer @melanieh0ff, TAs Nabil and Ying, sfpc gardener @drwngdrwng , and all the students in the class. 🌱 (at School for Poetic Computation) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQ-ZCbhLlY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cgemv2njgzu6

Conversation as a cybernetic technology! “We cannot decide whether to have a structured or structureless [conversation], only whether or not to have a formally structured one.” paraphrasing Jo Freeman for the New York Tech Zine Fair, as part of both Cybernetics Library and Soft Surplus. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1eoQvl8AGwT9uXoyShQCfOQA435fUYOhsdFc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nb0pdoconsoz

Summer days: beaches and trees

Summer days: tremors of feeling something new and unexplainable at @dynamicland1

Summer days: Dreamlike #dwebsummit days with friends

Summer days: hello san francisco and a diebenkorn landscape

Summer days: co-organizing prototype workshops (“Incubator Practices”) with @valerilechen at the #gsappincubator thinking about how to listen, speak, share, notice, read cooperatively about how to design a practice. Thanks to everyone who came out 🌱 (at GSAPP Incubator at NEW INC)

Summer days: co-teaching Social Network Paintings with @melanieh0ff at @sfpc_nyc #codesocieties, sitting in on Shannon Mattern’s class, seeing students’ final work, finding time to bike around.

@softsurplus summer Fridays.

Getting connected to the internet by beaming an antenna at a rooftop and joining a community run mesh network. Feels like magic. #nycmesh
