students showing me insane awesome interactive art pieces theyve made for my creative programming class 🥰 & now my job has become doing stuff like. using *their* (fairly sophisticated) image processing or CV code as an opportunity to teach them what pixels are for the first time

hey this is legitimately terrifying and if you're not paying attention to this you need to be right now

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

overleaf can't hurt me i've been over leaves

deadline extended to feb 20!! :-)

Shm has loved observing artists since they observed their older sister creating art!!

Anyway, ArtKrit is a cool tool that generates creative scaffolds instead of generating art for you, and uses radical humility as a key design principle. It's good stuff!

Will live-skeet a bit of the Animāre Seminar on Creativity Support Tools at University of Tokyo, because I'm excited that my friends are there giving talks! #HCI

We're live! www.youtube.com/live/ipZroCt... You can see Jingyi Li, Jane E, Jun Kato, and Kumiyo Nakakoji speak about creativity research at the Animare CST Research Seminar, at University of Tokyo right now :-)

the morphs are weird to stare at and try to categorize

i ❤️ starting my day meeting excited students passionate about art and hci! it really gets me up in the morning! 🥰 i also love when they cancel and i go back to bed for 2 more hours! 🥰
