Happy Birthday
Claire L. Evans, Laurel Schwulst, and Autumn Fourkiller
Dear reader
Friday was my birthday. To celebrate we visited an island an hour away from Athens. It was similar to how we celebrated Uno’s birthday ten days earlier: beach, taverna food, and limited computer time.
My highlight was waking up.
»Happy birthday.«
»Thank you, Uno.«
»I can be your birthday teacher.«
With care
Kristoffer

»At some point I think we’ll fully realize that what’s happening in the natural world is more computationally efficient, inventive, and resilient than anything we could create from silicon.«

Exactly one year ago I hosted the first Naive Yearly. I wrote about the day in the foreword to the digital documentation published with Meg Miller and Are.na. It remains one of my proudest days. Next month we gather at a Renaissance castle for the second edition.
