Soleri to speak in SF!

Paolo Soleri, Arcosanti
Born in Turin, Italy on June 21, 1919, Paolo Soleri was awarded his Ph.D. with highest honors in architecture from the Torino Polytechnico in 1946. He came to the United States in 1947 on a fellowship with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, and at Taliesin East in Wisconsin. His major project is Arcosanti, a prototype town for 5,000 people, under construction since 1970. Located at Cordes Junction, in central Arizona, the project is based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture coherent with ecology. His proposed cities would be for people on foot, not designed around automobiles, compact and three-dimensional, not two-dimensional, that is, not flat and scattered over large distances. Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment.

lyrics
Dancing Barefoot - Allison Moorer
She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is a root connection
She is connectin' with he
Here I go, and I don't know why
I (fell) (spin) so ceaselessly
(Could it be he's taken over me)
(Did I lose my sense of gravity?)
I'm dancin' barefoot
(Headin' for a spin)
(In mid-air I spin)
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine
She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentratin' on he
The chosen of she
Here I go, and I don't know why
I (fell) (spin) so ceaselessly
(Could it be he's taken over me)
(Did I lose my sense of gravity?)
Oh God I fell for you again

Deleuze! some more. A new journal. Brian Massumi Like a Thought!
- Brian Massumi: Like a thought
Editor on January 15th, 2008 in Issue #1
In: Massumi, Brian (Ed.): A Shock to Thought: Expression After Deleuze and Guattari, New York 2002, pp. xi-xxxvii.
“THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST OUTSIDE OF ITS EXPRESSIONS”
A clearer statement of the importance of the concept of expression for the philosophy of Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari would be hard to find. Their entire ontology, this formula proclaims, revolves around it. A less fashionable concept, for late twentieth-century European thought, would also be hard to find. For many years, across many schools, “expression” has been anathema. The underlying assumption has been that any expressionism is an uncritical subjectivism. Expression conjures up the image of a self-governing, reflective individual whose inner life can be conveyed at will to a public composed of similarly sovereign individuals – rational atoms of human experience in voluntary congregation, usefully sharing thoughts and experiences. In a word: “communication.”

Ants Have Algorithms by Iain Couzin @ Edge
ANTS HAVE ALGORITHMS
A Talk with Iain Couzin
Edge Video
hat the way we interface with the technology is very important. Because despite the fact I use computers and do simulations and taught myself to program computers, I was a reluctant individual. I first started my Ph.D. in '96—I'm 33—I didn't have email, and then I realized initially that what I wanted to do was to get a computer to see for me. If I am observing an ant colony, and there are hundreds of ants doing things at the same time, I have a very limited view of that. I also have all of these biases in my own perception and in my own judgments. I first started out trying to program a computer to look at the trajectories of these individuals and then I became interested in developing these simulated models. But I still find my innovating with computers is very clumsy. I don't like Windows, I don't like Unix, I don't like the Apple system. These systems do not gel with me at all; it is always a struggle to get beyond a threshold at which I will force myself to learn a new technique. |
