I made this site as a sort of blog to share some interesting things I've found along with some stuff like my writing, tech projects, and other creative work I do. My short form work is mostly in English and usually about things like linguistics, complex systems theory, systems design, computation, cybernetics or German language philosophy — but I’ve been pretty busy with more long form work lately. I promise I'll post some essays on here soon. If you have any questions or you'd like to contact me about anything my email is ``[email protected]``. I generally respond pretty quickly. Here’s my RYM: https://rateyourmusic.com/~orange14 And my Letterboxd, if you’re interested: https://letterboxd.com/suspiciousdog12/ And my Are.na too, basically just a nonlinear Pinterest type research curator: https://www.are.na/malcolm-carter/channels ![[sort_sol.jpg]] This is a photograph of a flocking behavior known as sort sol (Danish for 'black sun') which is performed by European Starlings over the marshlands of southwestern Denmark. It's one of my favorite examples of distributed intelligence in nature.
