Thinking Huts, a Visionary Project.

In a few days Maggie Grout and Miriam Huerta of Thinking Huts will be pitching at Yale.



I've written about Maggie in two previous blogs where I mentioned her age as 15 years. I realise that she was 15 when she started out, but now she's 21. However this coming event is a big step foward for Maggie and Miriam. In a virtual presentation which will be hosted via "Eventbrite" Maggie and Miriam will be making their case for their Madagascar project as it was described in The Smithsonian Magazine. Their project is one of only four finalists to make the list for the Thorne Prize for social innovation!

Here's the registration link for the event:




Maggie and Miriam's session will be live at

    My friend Geoff sent me this:
    "I tried to put a URL link up of that page and Facebook hit me with this:

    This URL goes against our Community Standards on spam."

    Thanks for trying Geoff, but this must be all abou them blocking anything that may be to do with me leaving them, rather than the project. I simply can't believe it has anything to do with Maggie's visionary project. I wonder if you could challenge them on this?

Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.

Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe                                                                                                      February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was.  Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

Maria Korporal: An Introduction to Her Work

Image
Darko has recently introduced me to multimedia artist  Maria Korporal. Of Dutch origin, Maria   lived   in Italy  for many years but she has lived and worked in Berlin  since 2014 . Her artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations. Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work which together with the directness of the images and the sounds leads to greater participation of the viewer. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach. A good example is her project Korporal Zoo , a series of video works made between 2010 and 2018, which observe the animal and human world from several perspectives: cultural, social, environmental.  Over the last two years Maria experienced the...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
