Autumn Ahn will have an installation at the Lilypad. Joey and I (PC//MM) recorded a vocal-sampling-experimental-ambient piece with Autumn for the opening.

Harpoon Brewery is sponsoring it, and there will be more music by DJ Human.

WHIRL
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010Lets get together for a night of music, meeting, and visceral sonic electronic experiences. We want to create a space for people playing with drum machines, synthesizers, digital formats, mixing, and everything inbetween to share their work and engage the community. Something incredible is bubbling within electronic music–> the potential to engage a group to create an incredible collective experience. Musicians are creating uplifting music that you can’t help but get excited about.
[from musica elettronica viva]
We are making the first steps now toward an actively revolutionary music, a music which will not be an instrument of ruling-class “culture”… but rather a force in the hands of the people, a special language belonging to everybody. When this happens, the “concert” will come to resemble other liberated forms such as the party or the day off.
WHIRL is a multimedia event to quench our desire for beautiful works of art in any medium and ecstatic electronic experiences produced by local artists. Its something we can do together. Contactwhichlight(take this out) at gmail(and this) dot com if you have any questions or would like to help out. thanks <3!

Emergence: Fireflies
Saturday, July 17th, 2010One of the most intriguing phenomena within complexity science is that of emergence. It is a salient feature of complex systems, so much so that definitions of complex systems include the quality of exhibiting emergence. Many exciting solutions to the world’s bigger problems can be understood through collective dynamics and emergence.
Google’s search algorithm, to a heavy extent, depends on the nature of linking between websites. On the scale of the website and what links to it, Google is able to provide an answer the global problem of findability on the internet.
Muhammad Yunus developed a micro loan system that re-frames loans to take into account collective dynamics of a group. Through challenging the assumption of who one can give a successful loan to, and by tapping into group trust, he has created an effective method of alleviating poverty.
A Generative Method for Infrastructure Emergence
Thursday, April 1st, 2010
Social systems are becoming more complex from technological advancements and increased connectivity. Individuals are further empowered with the capability to augment their memory and communication through computers, the internet, and cell phones. Every society has structures which influence collective behavior, and with all of the possible configurations of people in a population, the question emerges for designers of how to implement a method to use the collective information and create a successful design solution [1].
Cities have been shown to have fractal geometry. In this paper we show how the fractal shape can emerge from a generative process that takes information on the scale of individuals or groups, and uses it to design a permanent infrastructure on the scale of a city. In this sense, we grow cities consisting of individuals and roads, starting from just individuals. [from introduction of paper, see PDF for rest]
