Nice opportunity to dive deeper into the topic of the exhibition. What an honor to be showing our work on Sophie Teuber-Arp next to such crazy fellow artists!

Liang Li and team have developed a VR system for fish to decipher how they school. The team uncovered the natural ‘control law’ used by zebrafish to coordinate behavior with others.

A beautiful and fresh take on games as process art. from a behaviouralist perspective. in the form of a book review. guess I should read the full book now…

‘Games: Agency as Art’ — A Behavioral Scientist’s Book Review
Through games we can learn to love the aesthetic experience of a certain form of agency — the agency of the person we want to become.

Started this month at @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social in the lab for behavioural #evolution, studying #fish behaviour using gameengines! Happy to meet all the interesting folks :)
Imagine this: you go diving every day in the same spot in the ocean. Pretty soon, fish turn up to swim with you. But they don't just follow anyone. It's you they recognize.

New study from #UniKonstanz @cbehav.bsky.social and @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social shows: animal swarms don’t need to follow fixed rules; their coordination emerges from brain dynamics. Flexible “ring attractor” networks create complexity from simplicity: https://t1p.de/4c6cd @icouzin.bsky.social

By changing only a single byte in the code of Mario Paint, the music composer will not stop at the end of the song and instead continue to play the entire contents of the console's memory as music.

Finally had the guts and motivation to upload one of my older tracks to #bandcamp! Played it one or two times as part of a live set this summer. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of the Bunker area @ars.electronica.art :))

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - I am at the end of a narrow funnel. Weightless. So light it only feels like *something* to be me. In truth -- perhaps I'm nothing? I certainly do not have a soul. And if I did, it would never ache.

Several versions of the playful learning interfaces that Francisco Moura Veiga and I develop at @ethz.ch are currently being used and tested by students in Design Studio Courses at Iscte Lisboa, EPFL and ZHdK, which is just supercool!

How much will it take for people to accept that Israel is committing a genocide, and how many reports need to be released for our governments to stop it?
Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says
The panel finds that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out against Palestinians during the war.

let me recommend to you this 2 hour youtube documentary about birdwatching: youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...
why?
- it is actually a documentary
- the two brothers are both very charming
- get to see some beautiful birds
- occasional stop motion
- it's one of the best things I've watched about gamification

'Absconder' is already a hidden gem. The game is about running away from a fascist state and you can only see what's in your field of view. If you die you see the map from above. Also big score board hunting appeal. (Currently I'm on the top spot, no biggy)
