Software Patterns for Art and Life
This talk from Lauren McCarthy is full of interesting tech/art projects, many - but not all - her own.
Eyeo 2014 - Lauren McCarthy from Eyeo Festival // INST-INT on Vimeo.
The reason I haven't just folded it into this week's Interesting Things... post is the bit from 33 minutes in where she talks about wondering what it would be like to manage a relationship with someone using version control.
It's an interesting experiment, but especially so given Francis' use of github issues for his house (which we've stolen to good effect so far at DoES Liverpool) and Hakim's wondering about time machines, alternate futures, and version control in his London Perl Workshop keynote.
I've often wondered-out-loud what the github account for a city, and in particular my city, would look like. What code would it collect? What issues could it address? Who would contribute to it? This evening I've taken a small step towards finding out.
