Alan Turing petition – deadline 20 January 2010
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/turing/
Alan Turing was the greatest computer scientist ever born in Britain. He laid the foundations of computing, helped break the Nazi Enigma code and told us how to tell whether a machine could think.
He was also gay. He was prosecuted for being gay, chemically castrated as a ‘cure’, and took his own life, aged 41.
The British Government should apologize to Alan Turing for his treatment and recognize that his work created much of the world we live in and saved us from Nazi Germany. And an apology would recognize the tragic consequences of prejudice that ended this man’s life and career.

I love this work initiated by Darren Solomon and completed with a range of musical collaborators. Whatever you call it – net art? generative music? collaborative and participatory audiovisual mixing? – it’s a beautifully simple concept, created well. The automatic ‘buddha machine’ version is also worth checking out, not least for the well written (and supplied) automating code – http://www.tikirobot.net/BbBuddha/.

Review of FutureSonic:Environment2.0 2009 by Ruth Catlow and Olga Panades
This review of the 2009 FutureSonic festival by Ruth Catlow and Olga Panades looks at artists’ and technologists’ explorations, of participation and agency in a networked society in the context of environmental crisis. It also reflects on the partial adoption of an ecological approach in a celebration of the new techno-green-enterprise soon to become FutureEverything.

What are your views on the Digital Revolution? – BBC Two collaborative documentary
What are your views on the Digital Revolution?
A unique multiplatform production for BBC Two is inviting people to contribute to an open and collaborative documentary on the way the web is changing our lives and the world.
Open source, content creation, being deleted from the web, e-learning, blogging and copyright are all hot topics on the blogs, with guests including Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales and technology commentator Bill Thompson stirring up the debate.
The documentary makers are appealing to web users to help shape the Digital Revolution (working title) series due to air on BBC2 next year. Episode one director Philip Smith said: “We’re looking for characters and stories so that this is a human and accessible story that we’re telling, rather than an abstract one in a vacuum.”
The programme will focus on four parts including power on the web, impact on the nation state, impact on economics and the impact on human beings. The content is still in the early production stages and open for
collaboration with the web communities around their subjects through the blog, Twitter and Delicious bookmarks at www.delicious.com/digitalrevolution
The programmes are hoping to be directly influenced in their thinking and scripting by the web in these preliminary stages, so join the discussions on their blog at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/digitalrevolution
The documentary will be presented by Aleks Krotoski, an academic and journalist who writes about and studies technology and interactivity. She is completing a PhD in social psychology, examining how information spreads around social networks online, and also writes for the Guardian.
Contribute to the blogs and read updates on the production at http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution
