I wrote a book review of "Geopolitics at the Internet’s Core" by Fiona Alexander, Laura DeNardis, Ph.D., Nanette Levinson, and Francesca Musiani. It initially seems to be a dense technical history of Internet Protocol—that constellation of technical specifications and social agreements that makes the internet work. But this would be a profound misreading.
What Alexander, DeNardis, Levinson, and Musiani have actually written is something far more elegiac: a cenotaph for a bygo…

Metric Equational Theories
This paper proposes appropriate sound and complete proof systems for algebraic structures over metric spaces by combining the development of Quantitative Equational Theories (QET) with the Enriched Lawvere Theories. We extend QETs to Metric Equational Theories (METs) where operations no longer have finite sets as arities (as in QETs and the general theory of universal algebras), but arities are now drawn from countable metric spaces. This extension is inspired by the theory of Enriched Lawvere …

This sentiment expressed by @… below and the aspect of slowing down is also very much part of my own reasoning for getting back into analog print making. The other large part is the conceptual overlap with (and my love of) process-based art in general. It was exactly that what has drawn me to generative/algorithmic/procedural/kinetic approaches/concepts for most of my l…

Another hand coloured #cyanotype, this time of kōwhai flowers. I'm not sure whether this counts as #fineart or #adultcolouring but it is definitely a unique reproduction of one of my photos. What really draws me to this #altprocess for #photography reproduction is that it takes time, and even though I can produce multiple prints from the same negative, each one will be visibly unique. In an age where billions of photos are taken but most will never leave a digital device, slowing down and impo…

Computable Bases
In computable analysis typically topological spaces with countable bases are considered. The Theorem of Kreitz-Weihrauch implies that the subbase representation of a second-countable $T_0$ space is admissible with respect to the topology that the subbase generates. We consider generalizations of this setting to bases that are representable, but not necessarily countable. We introduce the notions of a computable presubbase and a computable prebase. We prove a generalization of the Theorem of Kre…
