NE of Papua New Guinea

Update: Mine is the red hull racing virtually on the same course that I presume is somewhere near the current 6 wet sailing hulls competing in this leg of the Volvo Ocean Race. The No. 1 flag is my next way point off the north coast of Papua New Guinea where I predict the wind will be most favorable in 24 hours.

Monetary National Income Analogue Computer

"MONIAC" by Kaihsu Tai - Own work. Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons.

I discovered the MONIAC computer this morning in Chapter 1 of Take Back The Economy: An Ethical Guide for Transforming Our Communities by J. K. Gibson-Graham, Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy. With the first one built in 1949, perhaps only fourteen copies of this water powered computers were made. Using water tanks, levers, opening/closing valves and pipes models of economic change could be "predicted." I recommend you check out this DIY book.

Here's a demonstration of a working MONIAC:

House of Literature, Paros, Greece

This is the afternoon view from House of Literature, Paros Greece. For two weeks I am a guest with Terese who got a residency here. I'm writing code for Preminder.co, Cellphonia and other projects.

Henry Nelson Bull looking at four brothers

Henry Nelson Bull was father of Steve and Jeff and graciously treated Jay and Ware as family too. Henry aka Hank was pleased to see us whenever we were around. This is a composite of two photos: the four brothers in Kaneohe, Hawaii, each preparing their own scrap book of youth photos, and Henry in Boulder, Colorado apparently looking at their activity.
L-to-R: Stephen Medaris Bull, Jay Craig Hartwell, Jefferson Lochridge Bull, Ware Blocker Hartwell, Henry Nelson Bull.

Frank W. Bull tells a whopper

In the mid-1950s, Frank W. Bull tells his grandsons Steve and Jeff about a big trout he caught in a Rocky Mountain stream. Frank was from Boulder, Colorado and the photo was taken in Shelter Island Heights, New York.

Cellphonia: Wave Farm

Three wok-mushroom transduced sonic objects inspired by David Tudor's Rain Forest
constructed for the Cellphonia: Wave Farm concert

Cellphonia: Wave Farm is about "Big Ag versus Bees" and you can listen at cellphonia.org/wavefarm/cellphonia_wavefarm.mp3 to hear the current ephemeral server version of this sound compost.

This is the end of my artist residency at Wave Farm Transmission Arts culminating in a live radio concert of Cellphonia: Wave Farm performed with five colleague musicians joining me and broadcasting on station WGXC Saturday, June 14, 2014 4-6pm, streaming available.

Before the concert, starting NOW, it would be ideal if esteemed and not-so-esteemed, vocal and guttural individuals were to telephone 518-512-0518 and when prompted "buzzzz" like a bee (3 seconds) and then name/chant a vegetable or fruit (3 seconds).

And if the spirits move you in the same call "press 2" and you can leave a longer message about your thoughts on any of the following: global warming, organic farming, list all your favorite vegetables, list all the veggies you hate, gardening tips, GMOs-yes-or-no or any reflections on the state of the world at the moment.

The radio concert version of Cellphonia: Wave Farm has three movements: 1. The relentless march onward of Big Ag including GMOs with angry bees, 2. The failure of technology to solve all problems by simply increasing productivity ending in super storms and chaos. 3. The annual return of spring, pleased bees, gardening tips shared and more sustainable agricultural practice.

Thank you Galen Joseph-Hunter and Tom Roe.
