I'm going on vacation to a strange environment called the forest that doesn't have any telephone lines or wireless hubs. I am coming back sometime around June 11th, likely armed with jpegs of green leafy things and insects. Til then....

I had a really great time at Subtle Technologies. Unfortunately I couldn't attend today cause I had to work. This meant I missed Donald Specter's interpretation of Waiting for Godot which is a little bit sad, and Frederic P. Schuller's take on physics as a picture of reality, which is downright heartbreaking, but Friday and Saturday were still awesome. I was really happy with my own performance. There's not much I can say about it today ...still decompressing. I used an overhead projector which was utterly satisfying, and I had a giant head on plywood with video running in the brain and eyes. I'm working on a web version of the talk. This little gif of Oppenheimer crying rocks looks both more slick and more dorky on video. Hightlights of the conference for me included:
  • Juan Gruer's talk in which he quoted Rilke in German and then translated saying (I paraphrase): creatures see clearly, but human eyes are like a trap, that turn inward, our thoughts and interpretations a boundary between us and the world.
  • Rob Goodman's sophisticated meta-take on the impossibility of reconstructing the harmonics of brass vases which Vitruvius suggested were placed in Greek theatres to enhance accoustics.
  • Olaf Dreyer's excellently articulated quantum theory that space is not fundamental. Also all kinds of stress from the audience about entanglement, which was both entertaining and informative.
There was lots more great stuff. I expect in the days to come I will be posting many trains of thought generated this weekend. The conference is a really precious, unique opportunity for art and science to bump into each other, and I'm still digesting it.

Also (important note) I plan to conduct my performative lecture again this summer so that those who were dissuaded by the fee might be able to come and check it out. Date & location TBA.
