Studio Brüll & The NODE Institute
We are running the next #vvvv #meetup on Friday 11th at the NODE Institute.
https://thenodeinstitute.org/event/19-worldwide-vvvv-meetup/
This is the meetup for creatives and developers using the visual programming environment vvvv and its visual language VL. The meetup will take place live in Berlin. However, participants can also take part remotely from anywhere in the world.

I wrote an article about the need for low-carbon and #sustainable #computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.
tl;dr:
** The problem:
* By 2040 emissions from computing alone will be close to half the emissions level acceptable to keep global warming below 2°C. This growth in computing emissions is unsustainable: it would make it virtually impossible to meet the emissions warming limit.
* The emissions from production of computing devices far exceed the emissions from operating them, so even if devices are more energy efficient producing more of them will make the emissions problem worse. Therefore we must extend the useful life of our computing devices.
** The solution:
As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible. We need frugal computing: achieving the same results for less energy.
** The vision: please read the article, I'm out of characters.
