@yaxu@social.toplap.org Do you happen to know what is the name of the file manager app that was used for the pro-palestine album?

@pinche_compinche@tuiter.rocks airwindows es la onda!

Dear people of the TopLap server, got a few questions about being in mastodon (I'm fairly new at this, so wanting to gain a better sense of the space and it's possibilities).

- How do you envision or understand this server? (purpose(s), topics, relations other servers, relation to the live coding scene in general, and to other scenes, etc.).

- What topics interest you and make you want to interact?

- Do feel part of a collective effort, or different collective efforts that manifest in here? What are they?

- How do you interact with people from other servers?

Reminds of morphogenetic processes (chemical reactions and other things), are they modeled somehow in your libraries?

Any favorite websites?

"So when we wonder where all the websites have gone, know it’s the curators we’re nostalgic for because the curators showed us the best the web had to offer once upon a time. And the curators— the tenders, aggregators, collectors, and connectors— can bring us back to something better. Because it’s still out there, we just have to find it.

Here’s the best part. You can be that curator right now, at this very moment. You can start to rebuild the interconnectivity that made the web fun to explore. And you don’t need to be a computer scientist to do it."

A first run of the new system for the "Hacia un nuevo universo" (Towards a new universe) process-piece that Milo Tamez and I are working on.

Though the technical aspects have evolved we still face a challenge when going beyond the initial materials. We've identified in our intention towards the music, a necessity to control the direction of the music, and to be constantly actively changing things. This tends to break the music and make it too disordered and out of balance.

Seems like a very post-modern human thing to do. And as such, technique (technology) doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem; rather it's the human understanding and relation with the world and technological agency.

Still even if we can hypothesize of the cause of the problem, it's not the same as integrating that into our being-practice. In modern-speak have the information but not the knowledge.

But well one step at a time (though perhaps we'd rather lie still and take a breath, rather than move).

This 15 minute vision, though, seems mostly fine.
