“The Cerebral Samba: Protocol Art, Worldbuilding & Our Two Brains” by Peter Bauman @monkantony Might we experience reality itself as a protocol and world in a divided brain? Bauman argues protocol art and worldbuilding externalize the brain’s two halves: the protocolic urge to formalize reality into rules and the worlding urge to inhabit it as an open, living environment. Bauman investigates in the midst of a transatlantic dialogue on systems in art between Strange Rules alongside @labiennale and @rhizomedotorg ’s 7x7 during New York @friezeofficial Week. 🫱 lerandom.art/editorial/the-cerebral-samba-protocol-art-worldbuilding-our-two-brains *Link to Editorials in bio Mentions: @jakob_kudsk_steensen @plantoidz @trevorpaglen @__katecrawford__ @cavvvia @holly_herndon @matdryhurst @bottoproject Cover image: Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Boreal Dreams (Still and detail of live simulation), 2025

“Jane Veeder on Loving Change” by Copper Giloth @coppergilothstudio & Peter Bauman @monkantony Veeder (@jane.veeder ) began her career in electronic media arts in 1976 and became a member of the pioneering Chicago computer graphics community and EVL. Her computer-animation Montana (1982) is part of MoMA’s video collection. Veeder spoke with her longtime friend from the Chicago new media scene, Copper Giloth, as well as Peter Bauman. They cover Veeder’s path from ceramic sculpture to analog video with Phil Morton to real-time computer animation. Veeder’s interactive experiments on the Zgrass machine’s repurposed video game hardware anticipated by decades the game-engine-driven world-building that now anchors major museum collections and biennials. 🫱 lerandom.art/editorial/jane-veeder-on-loving-change *Link to Editorials in bio Mentions: @joantruckenbrod @francisfordcoppola @louiseledeen @saicpics @thisisuic @uicengineering @themuseumofmodernart @ontariosciencecentre @arselectronica @acmsiggraph @sanfranciscostate @atari @lacma
