Sigh, no Mac version. I suspect that'll be fixed soon, and it does look interesting.

[FRIAM] Fwd: sfx Events: Shelley Hirsch on Sunday, The Full Frito Friday
Santa Fe is fortunate to have Shelley Hirsch at the complex: see the links in the article for more information. Likewise, the Friday night calendar is filling up with innovative work you might want to enjoy. And, please note Jack Leibowitz's event on December 10. We'll have more information about it in next week's news. I hope to see you at the complex soon. --- -d- Santa Fe Complex: a community studio creating connections across science, technology and art Stay current with sfX at http://twitter.com/sfcomplex 624 Agua Fria Santa Fe, NM 87501 www.sfcomplex.org 505/216.7562 505/670.9432 (cell) Begin forwarded message: Sunday, November 23 @ 7:00pm The Power of the Spoken Word: The Process Presents Shelley Hirsch Plus: Friday, November 21 Beginning at 7:00pm Getting Frito Friday Events Straight All programs at Santa Fe Complex · 632 Agua Fria · Parking via Romero St. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or visit sfcomplex.org Support sfX Help achieve our vision of a community studio by donating, volunteering or joining sfX.

The Process continues its exploration of leading performers with Shelley Hirsch and her unorthodox, extraordinary fusion of vocalist, composer, and performance artist. Her long-awaited spoken word event reevaluates traditional paradigms of the genre by offering a multi- media exploration of "words" through performance, action and film rather than hosting a simple reading of works. The Process has also worked in conjunction with CCA to host Shelley in a 3 day workshop series Nov. 18, 19, 20. <--More--> Read the Santa Fe Reporter interview with Shelley Hirsch here. Today's Pasatiempo also has an article on this event; it will be available online later. Getting Frito Friday Straight Friday, November 23, beginning at 7:00 pm Frito Friday has grown to a series of events beginning with the traditional Frito pies at 7:00. The SFMax Users Group follows at 8:00 and the 907 Club at 9:07.

SFMax Users Group Continues (8:00) Interactive music is home at Santa Fe Complex and the SFMax, a Max/ MSP users group for experts, novices and anyone who is curious about merging traditional and contemporary music. All things MAX are on tap, including MIDI control, audio processing, video processing (Jitter), interactivity (sensors and device control), Max resources on-line, third party externals and applications (performance, video, installations, etc.). The group meets every other Friday. Each meeting will feature a presentation by a group member or invited guest followed by Q&A and open discussion. Mark it on your calendar; contact Philip Mantione for more information. Wikipedia has this summary of the Max environment; to learn more about Max, visit the website of Cycling74, the company behind the software. The 907 Club Stretches Your Imagination (9:07) 907 is a free-form participatory experimentation in visualization and sound.

Re: [FRIAM] funny shapes..
Yes, sure, try finding a buyer for the whole pack of ideas built around modeling the future is a projection from of the past. Notice that the exact point I sold things was when I was disturbed by the unusually high rate of price increase being unsustainable. I didn't wait for a high rate of price decrease and project that into the future. I was reading the curve with the expectation that the future would be different from the past (having spent decades watching and learning the signals of when and how). The problem with projecting from the past is that the future is actually a diverging processes running into entirely new conditions, and not continuing processes with random perturbations repeating old conditions. So the way to do real forecasting is not juicing up random variables for behaviors that won't be repeated, but watching the divergences that display the new behaviors as they develop.

[FRIAM] Bye Matlab, hello Python, thanks Sage « Bloody Fingers
I've been exploring Sage, the nifty python-based unification of the core of open source mathematics. From their docs: The overall goal of Sage is to create a viable, free, open-source alternative to Maple, Mathematica, Magma, and MATLAB." Pretty big task! While wandering the halls of Sage, I came across this: http://vnoel.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/bye-matlab-hello-python-thanks-sage/ Give it a look. I'd like to know who all has used it and what their experiences have been. -- Owen FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
