Today is Northern Voice (I'm presenting tomorrow, but today is the unconference, most of which I hope to catch!), but right now I'm riveted to my laptop (poring over comments about torrent tracking) before I head out to UBC. Really good back n forth over at Nicholas Weaver's Random Thoughts ...

Wow. Mieke Gerritzen gives a very provocative presentation on "Next Nature" - which, in its prophetic look at nature and culture combined, is one part Haraway, two parts Latour.
Is the Lift Conference always this interesting? Gerritzen breathes from the same bong as Ray Kurzweil. Who'da thunk it?

This update is running quite late, but is still valuable, I think, in attempting to sustain the dialogue which was unfortunately given too short an interval at our panel on Music and Sound at the AOIR conference last week. As well, I particularly need to move among the "diaspora" of ...

I presented at AOIR today as part of a panel on Music and Sound. Here's the PDF of my talk, complete with notes.

I'm back from Montréal, having had a good but curt time in la belle province. 4S (image of the plenary at R, more available here) was, to be honest, hit and miss; some panels were dull as television, and some others were painful to watch due to speaker-unpreparedness. Sometimes I ...

I'm blogging this from the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) conference in Montréal. We (Roy Bendor, Jack Post, Peter-Paul Verbeek and I) just completed our panel on Bruno Latour ("Translating Latour") and I'm now in a very interesting panel about "Problematizing Technological Appropriation". My first impression is that ...

25 minutes early, my Radiohead download activation code is emailed to me. Ten years ago, I bought my first Radiohead CD (OK Computer).
OK Computer comprised a significant portion of the soundtrack for a prolonged and significant breakup I was going through at the time, one ending a 7 year relationship ...

Here's another update on AOIR 8, happening Oct 17-20 in Vancouver. The Program (cover featured at right) is complete and off to the printers, room assignments have been made, and things are generally getting all keyed up around here.
There's quite a range of papers and panels happening - too much ...
