On Traveling: 1
I think a lot about traveling, being able to go somewhere else for any reason and the action itself. There are many reasons behind this. I think the first one is related to how I grew up. Being almost exclusively in one city for 18 years, while being connected with rest of the world through…
Charismatic Megapigment
A collaborative project between Charley Peters, Wesley Goatley and Tobias Revell. Charismatic Megapigment is a sculptural installation that examines the politicised nature of the colour green and the tensions between formalist and conceptual art practice, as explored through the practices of painting and machine learning. The screen moves across the painting randomly while feeding the…
The hypersane are among us
Found this article thanks to Arikia: Many ‘normal’ people suffer from not being hypersane: they have a restricted worldview, confused priorities, and are wracked by stress, anxiety and self-deception. As a result, they sometimes do dangerous things, and become fanatics or fascists or otherwise destructive (or not constructive) people. In contrast, hypersane people are calm,…
Infinite Detail by Tim Maughan
Tim Maughan’s Infinite Detail was published in March and since then it was sitting on my Kindle for reasons. Finally got my hand around it and finished the book today. And I have to say that this book is amazing. The smile grows into a self-deprecating chuckle; and she’s strangely embarrassed that part of her…
Start Select Reset Zine #001: Your Attention is Sovereign
Jay (previously) has a new digital zine out, which includes his writings and podcast transcriptions about the internet, social media and attention economy. He talks about many things such as multitasking, how we’re using our devices, productivity and how he changed his social media use and more. I’ve finished it in one sitting and already…

mono.kultur #44 & #47
Recently decided working on to change and add more diverse stuff to my information diet. This also includes thinking about where I’m spending money on and make sure it goes to people and ideas will feed my brain more and actually needs and deserves support. So I started with mono.kultur and these two arrived yesterday…
#Olay ve #Susamam
Bir günde iki şimdiden klasik olacak rap şarkısının gelişini blogda paylaşmamak olmazdı. Hem Ezhel hem de Şanıser ve çetesinin (daha iyi nasıl tanımlayabilirim bilemedim) aynı anda böyle şarkıları ortama salması kesinlikle bir şeylere işaret. Şarkıları dinlediğimden bu yana kafamda dönen birkaç şeyi de buraya not almak istedim. Eğer internette daimi olarak saçmalayanları bir kenara bırakacak…
‘Ralphing’ and Compass Memes
Last week I talked a bit about compass memes on my newsletter. It was something came out of nowhere but the more I think about it, I feel like there is more to think and talk about it. Jay, who introduced me to the compasses, also recently wrote about it on his blog. Including a…
Common ground: Holly Herndon in conversation with James Bridle
Our desire for control is precisely the problem. We are never going to understand the world more broadly. We’re not going to be able to talk to trees in the way that we talk to one another. But we need to be able to live meaningfully, equitably with them and with all other natural systems.…
