As software continues to play a central role in public life, there's a growing need for more transparent, auditable, and #open software systems. Our mission is to provide the tools and resources to make this happen. It's another week to #publiccode with us

Antikythera.xyz The program starts in Los Angeles, with fieldwork in Mexico City and Seoul. Studio researchers in Los Angeles will be supported with a housing provision and a monthly stipend of 4000 USD per month for the duration of the program. The trips covered too.
Enthused to be associate director of a new program piloted by @bratton incubating at the @berggruenInst: @antikythera_xyz. We will explore the philosophy and future of planetary-scale computation, in collaboration with many great folks. Output will include software, film, essay.
We are recruiting research fellows for our first cohort. Learn more about our research domains, explore who is involved, and apply now: antikythera.xyz/

Lovely to come across a piece of Flickr lore putting the final touches on a talk for @dconstruct. It's a copy put up by a researcher, but it's also the eTech presentation @stewart, @neb, and Eric gave when they launched Flickr in 2004. slideshare.net/phauly/transc…

Ah, the cycles of living. @flight404 just pointed out this lovely post cooperhewitt.org/2022/02/16/… about the ongoing process of collecting our Bloom Studio app Planetary, which is essentially a meditation on codebase stewardship, which in turn is now my mission at @publiccodenet
