This week's #p5js challenge begins with a procedural reproduction of a Swiss station clock. Students will be breaking it apart to build their own timepieces. Next week, we're reading Ernst and talking about crystals, computers, "chronotopes", and conflicting temporalities. ⏲⏳🔮⌛⏲

Here's the code-- @ me with your variations!

Reading list:

Sociological research is often criticised for providing "excuses" for people doing bad things, preventing them from being rightfully blamed and punished. This special issue looks at social scientific debates about such "exculpatory" consequences:

House we are staying in has drawers lined with a weekend supplement from #TheTimes dated April 1998.

Fascinating how much has changed over 25 years: the cigarette adverts, the absence of any web addresses, the homophobic columnist (not shown), the list of church services and dating classifieds.

I quite like this, Jo Elvin reviews an edition of Glamour #magazine that she edited 20 years ago... #mediastudies #media https://joelvin.substack.com/p/in-which-i-review-a-random-old-issue

Heute vor 5 Jahren kam "#Gundermann" ins #Kino!
Dazu ein Lesetipp aus der Rubrik #Filmkritik:
▶️ Andreas Kötzing, Gundermann als Versöhnungsfilm oder: Wer einen Igel rettet, kann kein schlechter Mensch sein, #WerkstattGeschichte 82/2020, https://werkstattgeschichte.de/alle_ausgaben/differenzen-einschreiben

Kötzing zeigt darin, wie der #Film den Liedermacher, Baggerfahrer & #Stasi-IM als ambivalente Figur vorstellt und damit verschiedene #DDR-Erinnerungen bedient.

Here is the thing, these k-dramas I watched on Netflix in last 2 months was not align with that theory. They all need all of my attention due to social media details. I mean some key conversations were available to understand via just subtitle. There were things I need to catch up by actually LOOKING the screen, audio was not enough. Isn't it interesting?

I'm listening to old episodes of the great "History Is Gay" podcast, and finally got to hear the 2020 episode where Leigh interviewed me about LGBTQ images on US television, about the beginnings of queer media activism, and about queer fandoms past and present. It's a really good interview, even if I say so myself!

Thrilled to announce that
@Sarah_Florini, @drericaoneil, and I have been funded through the NEH ODH "Dangers & Opportunities of Tech" program to collab with our colleagues at the Online Content Creators Association to co-create community-based ways of understanding algorithmic governance!

This project & collaboration with content creators was dreamed up in March 2020, and this funding means we'll have the opportunity to co-create knowledge in/with community. 💫
