my line of thought on this relates to the element of generationality - because the predictions we make and the preemptions we think of usually occur within a lifetime. Preemptive entities like amazon, for instance, obviously require me to be alive. However, when we talk about the impossibility of medium-term prediction regarding the next hundreds or thousands of years on Earth, we are talking about a metaphysical world that doesnt happen within our lifetime. Novelty, whether liked or disliked, overwhelmingly occurs after our death and before we were born

Deptford - ‘Deep Ford’ - was named after its tidal Creek. As the tide falls each day it exposes almost a kilometre of riverbed providing an opportunity for adventure and education that can’t be found anywhere else in London.The Creek has a long history of fishing, ship building and dockyards. Trades and industries from chemical works to tidal mills and slaughterhouses have all used its banks. London’s first passenger railway crosses it and Bazelgette’s famous sewage pumping station is alongside it.The Creek’s waters, muddy banks and flood defence walls are home to a wide variety of wildlife including: shrimps, crabs, fish, birds and many species of wild flower.

i’ve seen this being built, its a weird article... 

“I was living the London life, getting taxis everywhere, eating out and being snazzy.

“Blue Planet happened and then I just started reading loads of books on the subject – and you can’t un-know what you know.

“It just really makes you aware of the resources that you’re using the rubbish you’re creating, the power you’re using and the water.”

Other pioneering plastic-free shops also spurred the former financial controller to launch the enterprise.

The former Man United ace Richard Eckersley founded a zero-waste shop in Totnes, Devon last year – and has inspired Ms Hipkiss in the process.”

this is interesting because its a terrible article which has been written by the architects journal - a huge contrast compared to the opinion f residnets

Photos from my algorithmic buckfast food making. I followed some of the recipes the algorithms made using buckfast.

Ebay-Nan Coincidence

My Nan knew I was doing a project about Buckfast.

The other week i got a phonecall from her saying that she had tried to bid on some bits of Buckfast Abbey Rubble for me because she thought I’d be interested in it for my project. 

It turns out they were the bits I was selling and she had no idea.

Questions, thoughts, feedback

what HAS this done?

what is it for?

how is the project actually acting?

what can this work do now?

what IS “algorithmic mythology”?

can this apply to things other than buckfast?

how does it get developed, stretched and deployed as a means for understanding construction of myth and mythology?

what does this do to design / politics / social relations?

[algorithmicmythologies]

People are still talking about the project, engaging in the algorithms and constructed myths

I posted my two eBay sales to Brad Lockyer in Aberdeen, Scotland and John Cunningham in Newry, Northern Ireland

I phoned Buckfast abbey to ask about donating / investing money

I am reading the Buckfast Abbey Annual report and analysing their economic model, where they invest their money from the tonic wine etc etc

Looks like the bits of buckfast abbey aren’t genuine… arguably
