@th4 Ok,yes, I see. I'll re-repost it on Sunday then ;-)

@th4 lovely this one, it really made my laugh out loud! 😂

Found an old review, really loved working with New Noveta back in 2019:
"The two young performers get straight to work making the attendees at the edges of the room feel uncomfortable, grasping each other's bodies, screaming and crying, while brandishing what appears to be a giant folding fan made of 2ft blades. The pair chase each other on foot through the crowd, pushing people in all directions and never looking anything other than distressed, disturbed or downright terrified. It seems to take a while for people to catch on to the fact that this is part of the show. "

#Gaza We watched this last night. It was the most traumatic thing I hsve ever seen. It shows how systematically Israel has destroyed Gaza’s healthcare system and killed doctors. This is ongoing - just yesterday many killed at Indonesian hospital.

I feel irrevocably alienated from all the lovely people around me who choose to just ignore all this. Not watch, not see. For almost two years the most barbaric slaughter, aided by our governments here.

Somewhere Barbara Streisand can heave a huge sigh of relief. It will henceforth be known as "the Vance effect."

Introducing "Spill"

a new live coding language

https://www.pastagang.cc/blog/spill/

We’ve hit a strange point in software development. If machines are writing more and more of our code, are we still learning how to do it ourselves?

@volkskrant

Leuk stuk @frankrensen ! Erg herkenbaar en ik hoop dat je de non-bigtech alternatieven blijft gebruiken.

En dat je natuurlijk lekker op de Fediverse actief wordt!

(Zullen we met z'n allen Frank gaan volgen?)

Loved creating soundtracks on stage using live coding for the theater company, Roeshoofd, from Antwerp, Belgium. We recently performed a captivating piece by Jon Fosse, "Somebody Is Going to Come." A huge thank you to everyone involved and to our amazing audience for being a part of this journey. Looking forward to the next tour with excitement and anticipation. Stay tuned for more updates! #livecoding #soundtrack #theater #Belgium #experimental

Hey @pastagang just so you know, you've been booked to perform at the Science Gallery as part of London data week. You're welcome to turn up in person to plug in or perform remotely of course.

It's on the 11th July.

I'll be performing there too (solo) so I'll see you there! Since I'm doing that, it would be nice for someone other than me to plug in for the pastagang slot.

See you there!
