[dev] new media meetings at goldsmiths

[xname]

Every second Wednesday of the month, at Goldsmiths college in New Cross,
London, some people are meeting to discuss, around a table, different
projects and researches concerning media art and related fields of
inspection. On November 12th Gabriel Menotti presented a very interesting
text entitled 'Computation a dynamic topography', part of his research at
University of Sao Paulo. His approach is presenting computation as a
specif process that cannot be described as simple text, because, in short,
computation is a dynamic event happening inside a machine, thus it is not
text in itself, and probably software should not be defined as text at
all. Today November 26th the project Virtual Entity was presented and
discussed.
Lev Manovich, Matthew Fuller, and some very special phd students attended
the event, including Yuk Hui  who is researcher at Cultural Studies on
metadata.

Some interesting thoughts were raised, especially on Singularity.

Attached is the introductory text i produced for the event.
