Cybernetic Forests

Exploring Social Impacts of Technology through Art and Research

Once a week, you’ll get a collection of readings blending art, technology, nature and society, with summaries, background and occasional experiments. If you dig connecting the past to the present and imagining possibilities, you might dig this.

Some of these e-mails will eventually become blog posts over at Cybernetic Forests, but the ephemera will end up here in the meantime.

What you don’t get

I’m skeptical of hype, PR and market news. I’m uninterested in de facto contrarianism and unexamined shit-talk. I’ll focus on what’s interesting, where it came from, and plot weird forms of subversion.

I don’t link to YouTube machine learning tutorials.

Why me?

Overeducated and underemployed, I’m a trained journalist, artist, researcher and science communicator who has done weird things with technology since 1997.
