*"Spider Rose." A science fiction character I created 43 years ago that suddenly appears in public and looks like a collectible action-figurine. #LoveDeathandRobots

*A pretty good one, actually. That Netflix design team was really doting on her cyberpunk detailing. Even her house and her house-pets look freaked-out and nifty.

I am pleased to share more news from the University of Denver’s interdisciplinary Emergent Digital Practices (EDP) program.

EDP seeks to fill a Teaching Assistant Professor position starting September 2025. We are searching for a colleague who will bring community-engaged practices into the classroom. We are specifically interested in a teaching-oriented colleague who will further develop EDP curriculum around topics such as design justice, intersectionality and technology, computing and post-colonialism, sustainable systems design, and ecology-based practices for the public good. We are interested in candidates whose teaching will advance EDP’s capacity to engage marginalized and minoritized positions in the classroom and beyond. We are also interested in candidates demonstrating their potential to conduct community engaged work at the undergraduate level.

The deadline for applications is December 9, 2024. For consideration, candidates must apply through the following link, which provides more information and context for the search.

Helping me to remember bio-computation, or bio-logics.

Slime mold was grown on an agar gel plate shaped like America and food sources were placed where America’s large cities are.

I just really like the idea of slime mold on a map of the US. It’s beautiful.
