About Nuzzel

“alter egos are a minor insurgency to the systems that freeze us in rituals of routine. Alter egos are a transgressive space for expressive subjectivity to emerge and breakthrough the packaging we’ve created for ourselves. Alter egos are a bridge between the self we are and all the possibilities of who we might be.”

(via The Power of Alter Egos — Medium)

Forms of social media that are dominant now are not suited for this kind of identity fluidity. They build value on solid identities that represent some kind of acceptable public face (albeit tailored for specific networks)

All these forces are linked:

Constrained identity

Business models of the social graph

Behaviours of self-representation

Data collection and surveillance

Commodification of desires, preferences, interests to sell targeted advertising

The Brighton School is a radical, new, postgraduate studio for the sea-side city of Brighton. It aims to harness the talent and ideas of the students who pass through Brighton every year, putting this talent to work for the benefit of the city, at the same time as giving these students a way into the work they want to do.

School of Machines, Making & Make Believe is a uniquely curated School born in Berlin, Germany in 2014, keen on inventing one-of-a-kind hands-on learning experiences in the field of Art, Technology and Design. We embrace art, creativity and exploring the latest technology and ourselves with humility and curiosity. In bringing together an ever-changing constellation of talented instructors, themselves distinguished artists, designers, makers and other professionals from around the globe, and providing a space where imaginations can run wild, our students come to us ready to expose their creative innards to the world in their own unique ways as they learn to work with new tools and people who can help make it happen. We teach tangible skills like how to code, work with electronics and use digital fabrication tools while exploring concepts, narrative and play. Our goal is to help people take the fantastical ideas inside their heads out into the physical realm to further their artistic practice or to help wrestle out the confidence to begin one. We teach technology to artists and design, creativity, and art to the technology community. In 2014, we ran two month-long full-time programs focusing on Responsive Spaces and Physical Computing in Berlin. Currently, we're working on our latest adventure and our most ambitious program yet, a ten-week summer program in Berlin! We’ve got more programs in the works, but it’s important to note that each course is a unique moment in time. Themes, instructors, duration and even the country in which programs will run, will change. We’re striving to keep it interesting. Stay tuned!

This material is then openly shared online and can be further developed by contributions from the global OTS community. OTS’ main goal is to create a friendly learning environment where no one feels shy about asking any question. Everyone is invited to participate, whether as a coach or a learner, and get in contact to organize OTS events anywhere in the world.

Mozfest 2014: Call for Artists, Technologists and Curators

Announcement for participation in ‘Art & Culture of the Web' organized by codekatblog and Paula Le Dieu for a Mozilla event in London. Based around the idea of ‘networked art’, I’m sure there is something the Tumblr community could contribute:

As the Internet becomes increasingly ubiquitous around the world, more and more web users are making the transition from consumers to creators, merging art, technology and networks to build new and surprising digital art forms with unprecedented results.

What might the combination of these experiments in theory, code and creativity — a practice we refer to as "networked art" — mean for cultural heritage organizations, artists, technologists and curators? And how might creative works inform our understandings of the open web’s key challenges, from privacy to ownership, and from identity to governance?

But the most interesting new mobile collaboration services don’t just replicate the software we’re accustomed to using on desktop computers. They also highlight an aspect of group work that received scant attention in the days when coworkers gathered together in offices: the communication that is part and parcel of collaboration. That back-and-forth can have as much value as the content itself. It can keep the team on track, inform participants who join the process late, and spark new ideas.

Mobile Collaboration | MIT Technology Review I'm interested in tools that let us share the process of making in the studio. What are the collaboration tools and platforms that can help us expose this?
