On the first weekend of May I will be back in Munich at the #VCFe. There I have an exhibition on #AnalogComputing (with a #THAT and a Leybold analog computer, using a modified #Vectrex and an HP XY #plotter as output devices) and I will give a lecture on "Unconventional Computing" (in which the analog computers also play a role).

A year ago I started building first prototypes of a device that would be capable of calculating #moon phases based on the historical Metonic cycle. The result was „Meton“, a 3D-printed lunar phase calculator. So if you need an #opendata moon machine, go ahead.

Or build it yourself, from oak and steel.

I am hoping to see lots more practical developments along the lines of: This physical phenomenon does something (by virtue of being itself) that is isomorphic to some computation. How do we couple it to the environment so that the naturally occurring computation corresponds to something we care about?
To be honest, I am a little surprised that there haven't been more attempts at modern analog computers. This paper by Jaeger et al gives some clue as to the potential for extracting computational services from physic: http://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15408
I suspect that one contributor to the lack of progress on modern analog computing is the difficulty of mapping from the user's problem of interest to the computation offered by the physical substrate. In the AOC case you need to map the user's problem to a fix-point problem (because that's all the hardware can solve). This paper by Kleyko et al deals with that issue by proposing that Vector Symbolic Architectures could be used as an intermediate abstraction between the user's problem and a wide range of nonstandard computational hardware: http://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05268

I'm not really looking for analogue computers anymore but I could not resist this small one: a gorgeous Philbrick Researches RP-F manifold from around 1966. I have not yet checked if it is still operational...

The "Liberate the Machines!" book is starting to be available so I made a page for it even if it hasn't had a launch moment yet.

Super happy to finally hold a physical copy of my book. It will be out and available after the summer, please contact me if you are interested to review it or to organize an event around it.

Für das #BCBN25 am 17. Mai habe ich eine Session zum Thema #AnalogComputing eingereicht. Vielleicht interessierts ja den einen oder die andere, warum eine Technik, die nach alt und verstaubt klingt, möglicherweise die Zukunft in sich birgt. Stichworte: K.I. und Energieverbrauch! 😉 Ich bringe auch einen #AnalogComputer zum Anfassen mit, den „THAT“ („THe Analog Thing“) von #anabrid. #10JahreBCBN #Barcamp #BarcampBonn #Bonn #HybridComputing #Arduino

@influencer1986 Funny – just gave a talk about Analog & Hybrid Computing today! 👍 #analogcomputing

Sooo. Ich hab jetzt mal die aktuelle Fassung meines slide decks zum Thema #AnalogComputing als Version 1.0 definiert und sage mal „fertig“. 🙈 Bin gespannt, wie die ersten Zuhörer es nächste Woche finden werden … #anabrid #TheAnalogThing #HybridComputing #Arduino #ai

AI will soon demand more energy than the world can currently supply. Unlike AI, biology solves problems efficiently, without massive energy consumption—our brains are not digital computers.

Arbeite weiter an meinem kleinen Slide Deck zum Thema #AnalogComputing … Das wird ein Spaß! Vor allem, wenn ich den aus einem „THe Analog Thing“ (THAT) und einem #Arduino selbst gebauten #HybridComputer live demonstrieren kann! 🤓

Hybridization still in progress; spot the odd one out !

Hybridization in progress ! I had not done this for a loooong time, but I really enjoy prototyping like this.

Dear all, I hope to embark on a small US tour in the spring, so far with dates in Boston, Buffalo, College Station and Dallas. Between those last two I still have a gap in my schedule from Thursday the 27th to Sunday the 30th of March, would anybody have a suggestion for a place to screen my most recent film or give a talk or - even better - both, preferably in Texas or in a state not far from Texas ? 1/2

From the "Liberate the Machines !" book: an adder module from one of the first commercial analog computing systems, manufactured by George Philbrick Researches in the early 1950's. From my own collection, picture by Isabelle Vigier.

Selecting images for the 'Liberate the Machines !' book: this is from August 2017 when I first encountered chaos in an analog computing patch. I was trying to reproduce the system that Yoshisuke Ueda used in 1961.

Getting back into working on #83: algorithmically evolving analog computing patches to produce HD electronic image sequences. Trying to channel the specific anarchistic potential of evolvable hardware into the production of images.

Here's a really interesting (long) paper on what a theory of computing based on arbitrary physical substrates might look like: http://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15408
"Toward a formal theory for computing machines made out of whatever physics offers: extended version"
Herbert Jaeger, Beatriz Noheda, Wilfred G. van der Wiel (2023)
