Forthcoming, Spring 2026 with Punctum - "War Machine" is my book of speculative, machinic criticism and poetry, performing the intersections of political-economic-military extractavism, automated warfare, algorithmic noise, and ecological collapse. punctumbooks.com/titles/war-m...

Naive query for any passing experts - have there been any exhibitions in recent years that have been dedicated to the relationships between conflict / warfare and climate change, or in which this relationship did feature to a significant degree? (Beyond just a mention of 'consequences' etc.)

Soothing whirring sounds of the automated windows in my office, and neighbouring offices, adjusting every few minutes, opening/closing 2-3 painful degrees at a time.

Anyway, usual despair and self-doubt aside, I'm cobbling together a real time playback / map viewer of some of my glider flight GPS tracks. Might evolve with a much fancier / nicer interface for a Possible Thing™ in due course - will see how much progress I can make this evening.

Couldn't resist doing one more sounding today - NOAA 19, accompanied by some interested passers by! (* I wouldn't normally go anywhere this close, of course, but they made a beeline for me and then peacefully waddled by - although I did shuffle behind the antenna as they did so!).

Going to do an interview with a journalist later today about how creative practitioners are responding to AI. It is perhaps no coincidence that last night's dream involved me judging student digital artworks alongside a "special guest" judge... Sam Altman. One of the weirder scenarios to play out...

Apropos of the fact that I'm having an actual research day - a long, long, long time ago, I used to do Karting, and my life was oriented quite heavily around motor cars and engines and mechanical things more broadly. It's... strange, how that chapter has entirely gone, and I work with computers now.

For #NationalPigeonDay, photographs taken by Dr Julius Neubronner’s ingenious "pigeon camera", circa 1908. More pics, and the story, here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/dr-julius-neubronner-s-miniature-pigeon-camera

Some unproductive fun for the evening - resurrecting Cosmology of Kyoto as a point and click browser game (well, fragments of it so far - I'd be foolhardy to take on the full project at this juncture, and heaven knows what its actual status is beyond 'abandonware', but interesting to try out).

Had huge fun talking about about Fieldwork, my eco-sitcom, at Uni of York last week. Even better was plotting w @anaspene.bsky.social about how we're going to develop the project, then visiting the Galton & Simpson archive w @garybrannan.bsky.social fieldworkpodcast.substack.com/p/abc-art-bi...

I learned this morning that NOAA 18 was decommissioned and shut down on Friday, meaning that my sounding earlier that day is the last I shall ever hear from it. 15 and 19 are, I believe, going to keep transmitting, albeit in a decommissioned state from 15 June www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/message...

A while ago, in a blissful moment of procrastination I dared ask "Why did Van Gogh become the poster child for immersive experiences in the 2010s?" Well, in order to answer this question we first need to go back 50 million years to when France was underwater www.goodafternoon.uk/news/immersi...

...Anyhow: The live, local weather and diurnal aspects of The Forest Game are now working well and seemingly bug free. Here, a rainy dawn as if the app was opened right now in Shanghai (picked from the Chrome location list).

I'm rather impressed at colleagues who have the desire and will to write academic materials / articles / books at this juncture. I currently have neither, am struggling to find such, and am very much wondering to what end I'd do so. Every idea I have, the heartfelt response is 'what's the point?"
