Book Series
This new book series is less about what algorithms are, and more about how they act in the world through “eventful” (Bucher, 2018, p.48) forms of “automated decision making” (Noble, 2018, loc. 141) which computational models are “based on choices made by fallible human beings” (O’Neil, 2016, loc. 126).
Decisions…
This is one of those unfixable situations where Tesla can blame Spotify, or Spotify can blame Tesla, or both can blame the nameless Wireless Carrier, or Tesla fans in social media will just say “Reboot!” because, like, I’m supposed to reboot my car several times a day!
Usually it’s nice to have the car’s navigation map sit still restfully, and not be so antsy as though it’s undergoing some kind of withdrawal symptoms:
Tesla’s software updates are renowned for their surprises. This video shows off the new Glitch DJ Music Playback settings.
In this documentation video, I demonstrate that when you put a Tesla in reverse, the rear view camera has a tendency to go away, after briefly announcing its existence.
There may well be some very good reasons to have a rear view camera for purposes beyond driving backwards, such as making experimental artistic videos of what life might be like if you had eyes on the back of your head, to be downloaded once you get home, since such videos can be hard to access on the massive iPad that you are driving.
Getting a crack in the windshield of your Tesla is like long form ambient media. It fulfills many of the qualities of ambient video, which artist/scholar Jim Bizzocchi appropriated from Brian Eno’s conception of ambient music:
- it should be visually engaging the first time you view it
- it shouldn’t require…
Or, Creative Automated Laziness in Electronic Music Production & Notes on Auto-Panning and Transient Clipping
As you can see from the somewhat complicated title and subtitle, this case study will combine multiple techniques that were needed to address some desired complexities in the track’s rhythm section. First, let’s look at a silent video of fidgety faders:
This article details a streamlined process for managing Splice preset downloads and organizing them within your directories, and describes some of the main UX differences in working with different plugins and doing quick auditioning of your collected Splice presets. …
Our neuro-cognition encodes pitches, which are temporal differences (the rate of vibration cycles per second) as having a spatial sense of being ‘up’ or ‘down’ or ‘higher than/lower than’ relative to each other. …
The word ‘fast’ in the title refers to waking up in the morning with an inane melody in my head, and by midnight the same day submitting it as a dance track for global distribution. I hope that is fast enough for you?
Premise — you have a melody in…
