Super happy to finally hold a physical copy of my book. It will be out and available after the summer, please contact me if you are interested to review it or to organize an event around it.

copublished with KASK&Conservatorium Ghent, designed by Isabelle Vigier, final editing by Bureau Doove.

this is honestly so cool. a huge development on the concept of a marble computer that unlike gravity based logic gates, enables loops

Meine Session zum Thema #AnalogComputing startet um 18:30 Uhr im Raum IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg. Kommt in Scharen! Es geht um die Zukunft! 😉 #bcbn25 #Barcamp #Bonn #Analogcomputer #anabrid #TheAnalogThing #nerdkram

Für das #BCBN25 am 17. Mai habe ich eine Session zum Thema #AnalogComputing eingereicht. Vielleicht interessierts ja den einen oder die andere, warum eine Technik, die nach alt und verstaubt klingt, möglicherweise die Zukunft in sich birgt. Stichworte: K.I. und Energieverbrauch! 😉 Ich bringe auch einen #AnalogComputer zum Anfassen mit, den „THAT“ („THe Analog Thing“) von #anabrid. #10JahreBCBN #Barcamp #BarcampBonn #Bonn #HybridComputing #Arduino

@influencer1986 Funny – just gave a talk about Analog & Hybrid Computing today! 👍

Sooo. Ich hab jetzt mal die aktuelle Fassung meines slide decks zum Thema als Version 1.0 definiert und sage mal „fertig“. 🙈 Bin gespannt, wie die ersten Zuhörer es nächste Woche finden werden …

AI will soon demand more energy than the world can currently supply. Unlike AI, biology solves problems efficiently, without massive energy consumption—our brains are not digital computers.

Arbeite weiter an meinem kleinen Slide Deck zum Thema … Das wird ein Spaß! Vor allem, wenn ich den aus einem „THe Analog Thing“ (THAT) und einem selbst gebauten live demonstrieren kann! 🤓

The 20-channel DAC module still in progress but we're getting there; code and testing is next.

Hybridization still in progress; spot the odd one out !

Very basic frontpanel for the new module that is in progress: there will be an ethernet/RJ45 connector in the spot that is still empty.

A front panel of an electronics module, populated with 20 red-coloured BNC connectors in a grid-like pattern, with one empty spot.

Hybridization in progress ! I had not done this for a loooong time, but I really enjoy prototyping like this.

Dear all, I hope to embark on a small US tour in the spring, so far with dates in Boston, Buffalo, College Station and Dallas. Between those last two I still have a gap in my schedule from Thursday the 27th to Sunday the 30th of March, would anybody have a suggestion for a place to screen my most recent film or give a talk or - even better - both, preferably in Texas or in a state not far from Texas ? 1/2

A view of the studio in October 2020 that didn't make it into the book, this was during the making of my film "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59".

From the "Liberate the Machines !" book: an adder module from one of the first commercial analog computing systems, manufactured by George Philbrick Researches in the early 1950's. From my own collection, picture by Isabelle Vigier.

Selecting images for the 'Liberate the Machines !' book: this is from August 2017 when I first encountered chaos in an analog computing patch. I was trying to reproduce the system that Yoshisuke Ueda used in 1961.

Two Tektronix analogue vector monitors on top of each other, the bottom one shows a circle, to top one a chaotic pattern.
