How to noise the #10yearChallenge
A possibility of turning the #10yearchallenge into the #10yearnoise. There is no ‘harmless’ data The #10yearchallenge has been popping up on the newsfeeds at an enormous rate. It is quite striking that there is still this senseless rush to post as much as we can about ourselves to this pin-board monster platforms that are eating […]
The spectacle in a square and a rectangle

Computing with Impossibility
Can the numerically unstable field of activity (the program is showing no error but it is not performing according to code) perhaps be the place to look for machine art?
Gardening, the Chaos theory – and how I met Brian Eno
*The research blog within the group project “Computing With Impossibility”. It was May 2018, in the History Museum in Sarajevo. As we were in an intrigued crowd (artists from the CEE, representing each country in pairs), he took the stage to deliver an opening speech for the exhibition “77 Million Paintings”.

And we all probably come to the story thinking we know what the word means, right? In the essay “Algorithm” Tarleton Gillespie […]
The Mathematics of Emotion
The tangent(s) of you 1.0 Have you ever thought of our emotional connections through the mathematical relations? A person that touches you once and goes on to live their life… Is he your tangent? If you have touched two, three, four people that go on to form a lasting bond *because they both have met […]
The Boiled Frog – We Are Conditioned By The Gadgets We Use
Stepping aside from the awe of having all our home dance around us at a touch of a button, we are woken up to the fact that we are conditioned by the softwares (and hardwares) we use. There is a story about a frog being boiled on slow heat. The increase of temperature is gradual, […]
