hey! are you a uk-based artist, creative technologist, maker of interesting stuff? would you like to come and do a residency next spring at the pervasive media studio in bristol?
we're looking for expressions of interest on the theme of "other minds" - application form should take about 5mins. we'll randomly select a shortlist of twelve applicants who will each receive a small stipend to work up a full proposal. deadline for applications is november 1st

Testing some new tiles, for the "Oh no, more goblins!" tileset, as well as a new 22-color palette I made for displaying them.
Rendered using MRMO-CRT-GEO.

I wrote about web scraping for political/artistic purposes for the first issue of the journal Critical AI: https://read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/article/doi/10.1215/2834703X-10734046/382464/Scrapism-A-Manifesto
just added 100th card to my game! making a Lua-based card scripting system is really paying off and now that I have the API pretty much set, I can churn out like 10-15 cards a day
the coolest thing about Gaussian splatting is how similar it is to painting where high frequency details are done with more detailed brushstrokes

i am unreasonably excited for Counter Strike 2, a game that changes nothing from its previous iteration except making everything look and sound prettier. this is my Madden i guess

always fascinating to watch the complete lack of media coverage in the west every time shit hits the fan between armenia and azerbaijan
