Closing Down + Moving!!



The Short Version:

This blog has permanently moved to a proper site. The new address is:


www.volatileprototypes.com




The --ramblings-enabled version:


Almost three years ago, at a time when I was bringing my first works and thoughts on computational art and design online, blogging now and then about relevant and not so relevant stuff seemed quite fun. However, as time went by my engagement with computation in design got a little bit more serious. And then a little bit more and more, until I realized that the blog as a medium was unable to "hold my thoughts" in an efficient manner, simply because they were no more frequent minute posts but mostly sparse and organized entities. Blogging became quite clunky, unable to respond well to large chunks of info posted from time to time. Not from a technical viewpoint, but from a structural one, long-lasting information becoming hidden in the blog's continuous 'stream of events', masked by the tiniest updates and news, and therefore turning essentially inaccessible.

In view of this situation I began a proper, structured site about half a year ago. Recently it has been redesigned and now is central to my research and experimentation on computation and design.

Therefore, I'm ultimately putting this blog to bed. Thanks all for participating and I hope to meet you at the new site: www.volatileprototypes.com And if you're still not bored and have some time, check out my design portfolio too.
Thanks! (';

ps. Blogs closing down are kinda funny and sad at the same time. And there are so many. Maybe someone could set up a gallery of abandoned/ inactive/ shut down blogs. Just sayin.
