Music, technology and other observations of the world around me
I recently watched Ex Machina. I knew just from reading about the concept that I would love it, and the film didn’t let me down. Some very interesting discussion points raised – what is artificial intelligence? what defines being alive? what makes you human?
I found that Nathan’s house from the film is a hotel in Norway. Looks amazing – although I’m visiting Norway at the end of June, I don’t think I can afford to stay here 🙁
As of September, I will be in full time employment and my amount of free time will be significantly reduced. I’ve been trying to think of a project to occupy my time, during what is likely to be one of the last long breaks I have! I have finally decided on purchasing a field recorder.
I am planning to record something every day between June and August/September. So far, I have trips to Malaysia and Norway booked as well as a few days out, such as Royal Ascot and an ‘Enterprise Day’ at the school my mum works at. Hopefully should get some varied stuff – some interesting, some very mundane. Maybe I will listen to it again, maybe I won’t. Maybe I will share it, or maybe I will keep it locked away in my hard drive. I am not sure of my intentions for this, but I like the idea of recording small parts of my ‘last summer’ and will decide afterwards what I do with the audio.
