Following this week announcement by curator Carlo Ratti (CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati), about the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture, we’re happy to announce that fabric | ch will take part to it.
We’ll post more until May about our contribution, among many voices, to this year’s “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” Biennale #fabricch #architecture #contemporary #planetary #intelligens #intelligence #computational #natural #material

La Biennale di Venezia · Biennale Architettura 2025 | Biennale Architettura 2025: Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.The 19th International Architecture Exhibition will be open from Saturday 10 May to Sunday 23 November.

Die Erforschung der Abwärtsspirale – Dr. Jochen Michely erhält Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für seine Depressionsforschung. Mit Methoden der Computational Psychiatry untersucht der Psychiater von der #CharitéBerlin, wie Stimmung und Kognition sich beim Menschen auf neurobiologischer Ebene gegenseitig beeinflussen. Damit will er der Ursache von Depressionen näherkommen. Mehr dazu hier: charite.de/forschung/themen_fo

A little video preview of a section of the upcoming new thi.ng website:

makertube.net/w/hDfuEUudsjskRt
(edit: moved from YT to makertube)

It's so nice for me to see these 10 computational art pieces & experiments all in one place (and most of them interactive & randomizable), also in the knowledge that apart from using @vite for bundling, everything else is entirely made using thi.ng/umbrella packages and tooling (three of the pieces are also partially written in #Ziglang / #WASM). Unlike the video (which at 1080p is ~110MB), on the website these ten realtime evolving animations together are only a ~650KB download (i.e. ~0.55% filesize) and all of them are running fluidly even on my old iPhone 11! Thanks to using `IntersectionObserver`, only a single piece is active at any one time...

Another side effect from this exercise: All these projects are only a small selection from the past 3 years, but most of them haven't been updated in the last 1-2 years. There were breaking changes (esp. the Zig parts, which I still have to largely address), but most of the supposedly breaking changes in #ThingUmbrella packages were actually super easy to address. I'm only mentioning this, since it's great to sometimes be completely in a "normal" user's shoes and see how painful (or not!) some of these changes are/can be... I'm often losing a lot of time contemplating making wide-ranging (but IMHO better & needed) changes, but always also trying to consider the effects of those on other people... This anti-bitrot exercise absolutely helped me to vindicate this approach!

Since I moved to a new server an #introduction

I am the director of Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging (@spinoza), group leader at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and professor at Utrecht University and Vrije University Amsterdam.

My research is centered on the intersection of #perception, #cognition and #neuroscience. The ultimate goals are to understand the neurophysiology of the visual system, and how neural computations result in visual perception and cognition. My research reconstructs perceptual representations of the human brain using #behaviour, #computational models, #neuroimaging (predominantly 7T fMRI), and custom-built biologically-inspired data-analysis methods (for example the pRF method).

I'm enjoying #mastodon and exited to see it grow so quickly!

#Introduction

I have a background in #physics and did my dissertation research in #computational #astrophysics before switching over mostly to #software #development in #Python on #Linux and #Swift for #iOS as the #CEO of my #startup #BinaryCoalescence.

I am a #classical #vocalist and sing with the #NashvilleSymphonyChorus. I am a #FOSS, #selfhosting, and #crypto enthusiast. I enjoy #scifi and #speculativefiction #books, #film, and #TV. I sometimes #blog on #openquestion.net.
