#pixelache

Audio/Radio Festival in which I contribute with the  performative podcast ‘Reverse-engineering: aesthetic and speculative representation’ (00:41:00) including contents by Oliver KELLER (Applied Physics & Engineering at CERN) and David BENQUÉ (Designer/Researcher, Institute of the diagram studies, Cryptpad). Concept produced in collaboration with Tactical Tech.

writing in the morning

Left the process of writing in the morning after an hour or two — left it in the detritus of the lived. The simple flows of morning ritual segue to the desperation of ‘get something done today’.

Start:

Testing empathy. Mari is running Pixelache 2016, so Andrew suggested I put in a proposal. Mari is such a wonderful soul!

Interfaces for Empathy.

Where does empathy arise? What conditions give it…

THE CALL

Subject: The BricoReader wants You and You :: I and I

Dear…

When media start to explode in your hands, it deserves a description. When it causes airplane evacuations, general panic and hysteria, it warrants an examination. When it quietly dies in your pocket before the end of an eight hour work day just like the other two billion smartphones, it deserves an explanation. It is reasonable to believe that a ‘Thermal Runaway’ event is far more spectacular than a quiet smartphone death. Leakages take place, fire and toxic chemicals are involved, possibly leading to personal bodily injury. It can be traumatic. Thermal Runaway is today one of the prime modes of battery failure. Chemical reactions within raise its internal temperature, and if not dissipated, the temperature keeps rising that will further accelerate the reactions causing even more heat to be produced, eventually resulting in an explosion. Especially a Lithum-ion cell above a certain temperature, its internal chemical reactions out of control, will explode.
