I'm mostly not here these days. Follow me on insta @dea.x.machina www.instagram.com/dea.x.machina/ if you'd like to stay in touch ☺️

Glad I did #genuary even if I only completed 10 prompts. Between that & learning TouchDesigner, I've began to recover some of my creative energy✨ I'm not very active here these days but if you want to see more of my art/learning journey, will be @ dea.x.machina on IG www.instagram.com/dea.x.machina/

Next Thursday in Hackney Wick London! Our final event for the year @cccraftsspace.bsky.social 💖🎟️ luma.com/pbd0aa61

I attended Savannah's workshop at Peckham Digital last month and it was hands down the most fun & accessible TouchDesigner workshop I've been to; it's finally given me the motivation to try and dig into this monster 😅 It's our last event in London for the year and I'd love to see many of you there!

State of the art AI 8 years ago

It always struck me (and everyone else) as odd that J. K. Rowling chose to call the Bulgarian character of HP Viktor Krum. Let's dissect that a bit. These are two first names, a basically impossible combo in Bulgarian. We've got a gendered language, in fact a highly gendered one. 1/

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Black Mirror s7 ep1. Is this the world that we want?

We had a wonderfully weird Saturday last week at c3s @cccraftsspace.bsky.social , where two special guests from Quantum Village talked about quantum computing in the arts, from history to hands-on frameworks. 👾 I wouldn’t even have imagined we’d host such an event when I first conceived of c3s 🫰

individualism in the dead-internet age: an anti-big tech asset flip shovelware r̶a̶n̶t̶ manifesto alienmelon.itch.io/shovelware "This is an interactive-essay-meets-walking-sim about technocapitalism and the things we lost along the way." 🦴💕✨🐛💥 #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #IndieGameDev #LiminalSpace

In all the discourse on AI vs software eng, I keep seeing variations on the same: 'AI can't do scalable, secure code and that's what devs do'. I'd love to see more on the creativity of writing code, grounding it in being human and real-world experiences. I don't think devs are scalability machines.

📢 Reminder: Next c3s @cccraftsspace.bsky.social meetup is 🗓️ Sat 5th April @ The Cave in London, 🕑 2pm~ 🎫 Grab your tickets here: lu.ma/2bvp84e5 🎫 We're super excited about this one! ✨✨✨

It's been over 3 years since we got the masterpiece that is 'Twenty-five twenty-one' and really what has been going since then? ☠️ Did we reach peak k-drama in 2022? I really want to watch something good again, like actually good. Not 'When the stars gossip', what was that even.. 😵

Next meetup is up 👾!! We'll be at the Cave (London) again 🕑 2pm~ on 🗓️ Sat 5th April Regulars Victoria and Mark will talk about some cutting edge uses of quantum computing in the arts, including showing us quantum-infused musical instruments. 🎹. We are so excited about this one~ lu.ma/2bvp84e5

Next #CreativeCodingBookclub meetup happening on Thursday 27th March. RSVP here: lu.ma/dul7dg8r We will discuss and share works inspired by Chapter 1: Vectors of The Nature of Code by @shiffman.lol . Join @cccraftsspace.bsky.social Discord ( discord.com/invite/qfKax... ) if you have questions.

c3s @cccraftsspace.bsky.social finally has a website, after months of iterating on.. dragonflies ✨ . 🔗 creativecodingcrafts.space But seriously, it was greatly enjoyable putting this together, changing the layout, colours, effects and animations a dozen times until I was happy. [cross-post]

After ep 7 of Severance and binging season 2 of Pantheon, I have to declare this week my best week of sci-fi for years. What a ride. Where do I get more 😳

From the last c3s @cccraftsspace.bsky.social meetup on Sat; love how the light makes me look like a mythical creature 😆 Next event will be about quantum in the arts (yeah, casual stuff) + we've got some other really cool potential speakers. Love to see this space growing, thank you all for coming 💜

Happening this Saturday in London. Unreasonably long tutorial is ready~ 👾

Despairing over my Mac screen being toast after my cat🐈‍⬛ bit a corner and left a tiny tent that disturbed many lines of pixels, which now flicker constantly... finding solace on reddit where *multiple* people on one thread have had the exact same issue 🥲

"Tomorrow and I" turned out to be one of the best sci-fi's I've seen. I never use the over-used words 'thought provoking' but can't think of a better way to describe it. Not like anything else I've seen; that final ep left me with all sorts of feelings. Think about what tomorrow has to be for 'you'

#CreativeCodingBookclub is meeting again on Wednesday 26th February! All the info here: lu.ma/h3j0pku4 We will work on Chapter 0: Randomness of The Nature of Code by @shiffman.lol Join @cccraftsspace.bsky.social Discord server if you want to share your work or ask questions: discord.gg/NRssnKnx

This one will be more of a ‘let’s learn together’ chill session, and led just by me. I started experimenting with Three.js again recently, after not getting the chance to look at it for over a year, and am excited to share what I’ve learnt and create more fun stuff with you 👾✨
