Several deadlines this week, so just a few markers for now:

The Artists in the Hazmat Suits
"Instead of finding ways to represent and distill life using paint or marble or pixels, the artists use life itself - bacteria, cell lines, plants, insects and even animals - as the medium to ask the questions that art has always asked."

receiver issue # 13 : Looking East
"East Asia is the most 'unwired' region in the world ... This receiver issue approaches digital mobilization the East Asian way."

New Cornell study suggests that mental processing is continuous, not like a computer.
"The theory that the mind works like a computer, in a series of distinct stages, was an important steppingstone in cognitive science, but it has outlived its usefulness... Instead, the mind should be thought of more as working the way biological organisms do: as a dynamic continuum, cascading through shades of grey." (via)

Smart Chip Checkup
"Plans for pervasive computing go way beyond tracking stock or waste flows. Futurologists and environmentalists hope it may help us create environments that are responsive to human behaviour, predicting even our needs." (via)
