More Scribble Bot fun in the Biggies today. Great #Stem activity, maybe even #STEAM depending on your definition of Art @MrDormanSTEM & @NLCLearningHub might be interested pic.twitter.com/zz16WnR2aE
My life seems to be taking a robotic turn of late. More robots in class today.

Walking alone the canal this morning I noticed a fisher’s float moving. I stopped to watch expecting a catch. The fisherman noticed my interest and explained the float was being moved by a robot bait fish!

Lark on a Fence Post
Rather cloudy today. This wee guy was singing loud and clear. Gets better as it goes.
Blue Damselfly in Victoria Park this evening.
After being driven off their previous nest by coots the dabchicks are back in Victoria Park. Yesterday we saw a change over at the nest and perhaps an egg.
Note the dried bramble(?) right in front designed to confuse my auto focus.
There are so many reasons to be excited about generative art, but at the core of everything is this fundamental value: generative art is truly working with the essence of what shapes our new digital worlds. Coding is the key. Our future lives will be built with it. The artistic exploration of code and how it can be re-imagined, re-examined, and re-purposed is critical if we wish to build a healthy, human experience in the non-physical landscapes to come. Generative art is one step in that direction, and one that feels more important to me every day.
Many fascinating looking essays by a generative artist. On Instagram too.

A colleague found this one at school today. Google Reverse image search gives me Poplar Hawk-moth.
Loch Ard trails. Bright & breezy with some heavy grey cloud. Few butterflies about, whites, orange tips, maybe fritillaries & a common blue. Plenty of damselflies, mostly large reds. A salmon jumped in the Duchray water.
Around 4.6 billion people use the internet every day. In fact, 350,000 tweets have been sent in the past minute. We tend to think of the internet as something ephemeral – partly thanks to terms like “web” and “cloud” – but the servers that host all that data produce huge amounts of emissions, leaving giant carbon footprints behind.
