Our son Adam Florin gave a fascinating talk about generative music at Algorithmic Art Assembly, hosted by Gray Area Art + Technology. He started with a quick demo of Patter, his music composition software, then took us on an illuminating journey through the many people and ideas which inspired him to create his cool freeform generative sequencer.
Brian Eno, who coined the phrase “generative music”, recently likened it to gardening -- but the material practice is just as much rooted in centuries of formal aesthetics, predictive statistics and industrial automation. How can we negotiate the tension between organic and and the mechanical in the algorithmic arts?
Adam has created some amazing digital tools and art exhibits in that space. It was great to hear what he's learned in this fascinating field, exploring the intersection of human and machine creativity. And to top it off, he gave this talk on his birthday, which was the best present of all!

I made a box to sit on the base of my table easel. It has four trays with blank and symbol slips and coloured magnets and magnets with symbols.
I can use this kit to brainstorm ideas or solutions to problems, or to organise notes and ideas.
The team building program focused on individual team membership developing an understanding of their default modes of team membership and the modes of team membership from other team members.
Having an understanding of the various default team membership modes and facilitating team members to reflect upon their behaviors and adjust according to the teams they are asked to be on.

At the warm shores of the Salton Sea in southern CA, we had car problems.
What a great place to break down – we were grateful that it happened there – but nonetheless, the problem still had to be solved. I lay under cars a lot in my life, with dirty hands and banged up knuckles, and although I managed to single-handedly get us out of so many serious car problems on all our crazy travels, I never enjoyed it. Any such skills I may have picked up over half a life time traveling with cars came uninvited and reluctantly. But now I have them, and that determines how I react when the motor home doesn’t start up anymore. I learned to fix things; I couldn’t do it any other way. Others have cultivated skills how to find help – hard to know what is ultimately better. Nowadays I’m much more interested in understanding things than in changing them (fixing them).
What we usually perceive as a problem is an event, a situation that is related to our self as an individual, as a person. A problem is an interpretation of a situation, the effect of a subjective “view”, a judgment referring to an expectation. One has to be conscious of one’s self to even be able to have a problem. A problem can exist for me but not as such. The universe doesn’t know problems. Problems don’t really exist, we invent them, we create them, and we have them. When you look closely, our mind is nothing but a problem factory. The mysterious and miraculous thing is that it is at the same time also an incredible problem-solving machine. So often this process of making and solving problems is our life. It consumes almost all our energy and blinds us to the underlying universal “ok-ness”, the most basic quality of everything before we have a thought about it, the marvelous wholeness that allows and contains our unique nature to process and manipulate everything, and yet offers freedom.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Monday is Pro Account Day.
Pro Account Day is also the day Flickr stops giving me notice about how I'm getting to 200 pictures on my Photostream.
You don't have to worry anymore Mr and Mrs Flickr, the problem will be solved tomorrow. Maybe even before you awake from your slumber.
Oh, if anyone was wondering, I had a good night last night.
I met up with one of my friends who had his birthday yesterday, so that was good fun.
Also, I may have changed my choice of camera.
That's if the price dramatically drops in 6 months.
DROP PRICE. DROP.

The Problem is Not the Problem
People are fascinated with getting ahead and being successful in their personal and professional lives. Generally, this has to do with their ability to solve problems, identify obstacles in their path, and figure out how to move past them. Regardless of profession, each of us is on the hook to solve problems ranging from the trivial to the intractable. But “problem” is an overused word. We assign the label to almost every imperfect situation we encounter, then deal with all of them in roughly the same way: either we avoid them or tackle them head-on. Then we wonder what happened when, lo and behold, our kneejerk "solutions" turn against us. For all our efforts to conquer the skill, for all the value we place on those who do it well, we too often ignore a critical truth about problem-solving: problems are not always problems. More accurately, there is a range of problem types, and a range of different strategies appropriate for handling them. We just can’t tell the difference. In this talk, recognized design thinker Harry Max reveals a new model for diagnostic thinking, one that will forever change the way you envision problem solving.
