How much can I forgive to villains in Barker’s ‘The Damnation Game’?

Since reading Barker's Weaveworld by chance around 20 years ago, which I loved, I've been in and out of the Barker worlds. This year, thinking I should go back in time, I read his first novel, The Damnation Game. The book was well written but also made me wonder why I am reading these horror, supernatural books.

DMLab workshop: Biofeedback Art Intro

I did a workshop for DMLab Colchester on the basics of biofeedback art and have demonstrated an interface where we mapped our pulse with the Pulse sensor, via the Arduino board to sounds in SuperCollider.

Milyen lekvár Dr. Csernus ‘A Magyar’ című könyve?

Most, hogy életem felét már lassan külföldön töltöm, néha próbálom a nemzeti identitásomat kutatni, talán gyógyítani is. Reméltem, hogy Csernus könyve segít majd.

This is a quick update on the work I have been doing as part of my research within the EAD team, where my focus has been on how to use sound to convey cinematographic elements.

BARN Interview: My Journey into Biofeedback Art

Since last November, Anastasia Chernysheva (UCLA) and I have been co-creating the Biofeedback Art Research Network (BARN). We want to build a global network of people who study the connections between biofeedback and art. To get to know each other, I thought it would be best to interview people in writing. To demonstrate a potential narrative, I started with myself.

Átesni a szamár túloldalára

Most már emlékszem. Néha át kell adnom a döntéshozatalt a ... minek is?!

Falling to the Other Side of the Donkey

Now I remember. Sometimes we need to outsource the decision making to... what was that again?!

Finding Order with a 42-hour Water Fast

How a 42-hour water fast helped kickstart the sequence of posts on this website? It made me remember that I need to be honest.
