exciting time at humlab in umea

well i have just arrived back from umea (a gorgeous city in the north of sweden) where i was giving a workshop and a seminar at the humlab.  I arrive home via four different airports, with the worst cold of my life and I am now completely deaf in my left ear.. i think i was a bit below par because i was very ill and very tired.

i met some wonderful people though and i will write more about the humlab when i have recovered because it is a very exciting space run by an amazing and dynamic guy called Patrik Svensson (who really has vision and makes things happen!)

nonhumans

 My DiGRA paper (cut-and-pasted for Playful Subjects) is now online. Only as a Word document for the present as, perhaps ironically, our faculty's automated PDF converter isn't working.

'The robot can self-replicate in much the same way that some living organisms are able to reproduce by cloning themselves [...] they demonstrate that mechanical self-reproduction is not unique to biology'
