panarchy // panarchism A contemporary has said: “If the truth were in my hands, I should be careful not to open them.” This is perhaps the saying of a savant, certainly that of an egotist. Another has written: “The truths which one least likes to hear are those which most need to be pointed out.” -- P. E. De Puydt

Part of the germinationx game design Current sprites Ideas Reference General look * Has to be simple, hundreds of frames of different plants in stages of growth/decay needed. * Has to work with an isometric view (but it's all flat planes overlayed with transparency) * Not too hippy, need to move away from games like * Perhaps more monochromatic/schematic is a good approach

Forage Mark-Up Language With all these edible city/urban forage projects mushrooming all over the place, as the latest fad for artists, environmentalists and culinary types, I notice a certain perpeptual reinvention of the wheel. All that data on where to find edible foodstuffs is locked-up in different formats usable only for that specific project. A little active consideration on how to make this data sharable would do us all good. Perhaps, instead of kickstarting the same thing thousand tim…

A few testimonials by participants of Luminous Green 2010 Theun: Sometimes it's a bit surreal to think how a guy from a tiny village in the Dutch countryside finds himself among these kinds of people. I don't know how it happened, but it gives me the space to be ambitious.

a note (or two) on categorisation “These ambiguities, redundancies and deficiencies remind us of those which doctor Franz Kuhn attributes to a certain Chinese encyclopaedia entitled 'Celestial Empire of benevolent Knowledge'. In its remote pages it is written that the animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the emperor, (b) embalmed, ( c ) tame, (d) sucking pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn wi…

cryptoforests

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:03:40 +0200

Cryptoforest definition, second draft The root meaning of the English word 'forest' is “a large area of land covered with trees and plants”. Etymologically the word is derived from the latin 'forestem silvam' and it has had it's current meaning at least since the 9nth century when the word 'forest' appeared in Old French. Special interest groups may use narrower definitions. Biology proposes that all properly drained lands left to themselves will eventually become forested as the final phase o…
