Just to bump this amazing talk by Dr Richard Carter on Friday! He will discuss how he used machine vision technologies to map durational change in natural landscapes, reworking the data into lexical poetry.

FWIW, the deadline is not likely to be extended, so get those sessions in!

U.K. political and media establishment are a miserable bunch of bitter bigoted mediocrities and cultish glaze-eyed weirdos. All the love, rage, and solidarity for trans people today.
