Well it’s going to be a very log-level year. I think I’m looking for the devil in the details. They say he hides there.

In 2020, insight porn can only be found at the log level. Maps and abstractions are illegal for the next few years. Crawl around in territory, worms-eye-view only, or gtfo

I think these themes are on my mind because world is in reboot mode. The hypervisor is going to ask us to choose an OS soon.

I’m tending towards a phenomenological but borderline impractical theme. Some mix of kintsugi, chindogu, design fiction, Rube Goldberg machines... but not on the elaborate and campy end. Fix/repair/build stuff to embody appreciative views. Like the materiality equivalent of 2x2s.

I know what I *don’t* want to do or write/think about - Maker subculture - Arts and crafts - soulful shopcraft doer-waldenponding - actual home improvement handyman stuff - stunts/clever hacks/prowess - blue collar larping - “critical practice in materiality”

The wooden pendulum clock I’m building now out of a laser cut kit is a good example of the energy that attracts me right now. I’d like my next project to have a the time theme maybe, but I wouldn’t necessarily get deeper into laser cutting or build other mechanical things.

If you're interested in the measurement side, you could easily try and build hourglasses, etc and just experiment and compare with ways of measuring time. It would be interesting to play with ways to materialize your talk on programmable reality - the kairos part of it.

Yeah I own an hourglass... but something about just reproducing the history of horology feels like a larp. Need more of a creative novel angle.

Yeah, I get that. I'd be more curious about the opposite angle: what are the hourglass, pendulum clock, digital clock of kairos, and what would be their material representations at the log scale.

I think the Weasleys "danger clock" is a great Kairos clock (shows family member state... safe/dangerous, on the way home etc)
