I am now nearly halfway through my Fellowship at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where I am spending part of my research leave. Thank you to the whole Weibel Institute team for welcoming me with such generosity of mind and spirit (and resources too), and for making me feel at home.

The University of Sussex Faculty of Media, Arts and Humanities is offering 5 AHRC Landscape Award PhD studentships. If you want to research computation, AI, and the philosophy of technology, and to work with me as your supervisor, get in touch. www.sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-f...

How incredible the location of the University of Applied Arts Vienna is, where I am currently a Fellow of the Weibel Institute. The University is housed in Otto Wagner’s Postsparkasse. Marble, aluminum, glass floor tiles and skylights. Every corner, a modernist wonder ✨

Thinking a lot about @mbfazi.bsky.social's provocation that "all representing is compressing", but in the context of how some haptic media seek a sort of photorealistic representation for touch & the process of compressing tactile data involved in representing for touch. philarchive.org/rec/FAZTCS-2

Highly recommended!
