Bogost’s carpenty meets strange ontography: I like Dominic Wilcox’s comment about quiet kids and what goes on in their heads). These are a form of ontography where you make machines that are lists because you bring together things in oddRead more…
A Late Blooming
If you’re looking for another way to try to get a handle on where we’ve got to so far. Isabelle has a particularly elegant, compelling, and delightfully visual, explanation. Highly recommended (and well done).
