*Drawing with 20 000 Volts* will happen tomorrow 10:00 at SVITAVA transmedia art lab in Brno, CZ.

https://svitava.org/udalost/workshop-lotta-stover-drawing-with-20-000-volts/

In this workshop we will sketch, doodle, draw, inscribe, engineer and overall un/determine traces on copper boards for them to become places where high voltage spark gaps can occur.

The introduction for the workshop will consist of a brief (not so objective, and rather poetic) historical account of pre-modern electricity, a rough and incomplete visiting of contemporary electric arts, and an introduction to a self-built high voltage generator, inspired by the 19th century influence machine design. -- The practical part is an invitation to experimental hand drawing of unconventional traces on copper boards. This may take the shape of an alternative dogma of irrational trace routing, a quick doodle, a comic, a piece of electrify-able writing, … whatever you may come up with! By applying the drawings with an etch-resistive marker, in an etching bath we can then selectively remove the unwanted copper. This leaves us with an etched copper version of the inscribed drawing. Lastly, we can start experimenting with applying high voltage sparks to our copper drawings.

Which shapes let the high voltage dis/charge behave in which way? How far can 20 000 Volts „jump“ or arc across copper gaps? What unexpected poetics can we notice – or where are your drawings resonating with how the discharging sparks occur?

A main goal of the workshop is to develop a notion of electric energy that expands beyond mere fuel as „pure exergy“, and instead looks at electricity as a wildly expressive medium and phenomenon in itself.

Thank you so much for the invitation SVITAVA transmedia art lab and Jiří Suchánek :) ! ⚡

‘Very sad day’: Postmedia to stop printing newspapers at Moncton facility

If a website really doesn't want me to read it if I'm not looking at their ads [1], I really prefer the "please turn off your ad-blocker" wall / dialog / whatever. I know instantly what the issue is, and I can close the site and go elsewhere for information.

When instead they throw up a fake "something technical went wrong" message, it's just gaslighting. It's an insult. Yes, I'm looking at you, Postmedia sites.

[1] It's funny, I read the dead-tree editions of various newspapers for decades and never looked at the ads, and they didn't seem to have a problem with it then.

It's really annoying that the Citizen stopped including the author's name in the title of opinion pieces, yet you can still tell a Denley piece a mile away (and still not be far enough from it)

Remember how Postmedia suspended Bryan Passifiune for cheering on the ICE murder of Renee Good?

Apparently they decided that a three week vacation from writing was enough punishment, as he started grinding out drivel again as of Feb 2.

So for a chunk of today, the #Postmedia sites were failing. Not unreachable, but returning uninformative server errors. Well, I don't know about all of them, but at least the National Post and the two Saskatchewan paper ones were like this.

The National Post is up now, and ... zero mention of it. No "we're back", no "oops, we goofed" or "someone DDOSed us, mitigated now" anywhere on the front page.

It's like those companies that want to sweep *any* security incident under the carpet - but doing so makes them look untrustworthy, the opposite of "protecting their image" that drives them to do it in the first place.

How can you trust a news site that won't cover its own errors or problems?

edit: fix "its" for "it's"

Wildfire restrictions in Nova Scotia spark manufactured outrage, reveals Ed Scarce. American-owned media, led by Trump ally-controlled Postmedia, amplify dissent over fire bans meant for public safety. A fined protester is miscast as a hero by rightwing outlets, exposing media's powerful role in shaping narratives.
