On about the fifth name you can see that I look up and I choke as I go on to read the next name because what I saw when I looked up was the families of killed women standing up in the gallery as a mark of respect. It took everything I had to not just break down in tears.

Back in October, Tim O'Reilly joined us for a talk on #AI and the attention economy.
He discussed how #BigTech companies manage and profit from our attention online - and asked what data they ought to disclose in the future

Grand dame of generative art, Vera Molnar has passed away at 99. One of the first dozen or so people to make art with a computer, and active until the very end, she was committed lifelong to the poetics of geometry, a massive inspiration and role model.

ALT An image of skies which are blue with white clouds. Text is superimposed in the top stating that I have codes that grant access to the other social media place. The image and this description are deliberately oblique because otherwise it triggers spamming from bots. Let me know if you’re not a bot and want a code.

I've built a thing to try and mitigate the impact of X/Twitter's link preview changes.
Just add hdlne.me/ before any URL you share here and it will show a card with a small thumbnail, the headline and a description (on desktop)

I’ll be working with @ellieracheldare @MainAngus and Steve Love :)
Through work with digitally marginalised children in Bradford, @dylanyamadarice from @PlymUni will lead a project imagining and shaping a possible digital future where technology use is ethical, responsible, and inclusive. #digitalgood
ALT Card describing the research project: “Understanding children's ideas/knowledge is crucial in shaping our collective vision and actions. Yet, in discussing our shared digital future, many children in deprived areas are invisible. This project will host hybrid art workshops for digitally marginalised children from a cohort in Bradford to imagine and shape a possible digital future where technology use is ethical, responsible, and inclusive.”
