I took a ride on the Mail Rail in #London. An alternative electric Underground that carried packages + letters through 9 miles of tunnels beneath the streets, from 1926 to 2003… 🧵

KI ist ein Werkzeug unter vielen, um kapitalistische Strukturen zu stärken. Dabei geht es nicht um Gerechtigkeit, Fairness oder Gleichheit, sondern eine Welt der Ungleichheit." […]

Since some of you seem to enjoy these tessellation experiments, here's an old projection mapping installation project of mine for which I combined similar patterns with digital fabrication (laser cutting & cutting plotters) to produce two Victorian-style room dividers with 620 handfolded paper cones, which were then used as 3D projection surface. Visitors could use an iPad app, housed in a small dolly table (also laser cut), to produce custom animated patterns which were then projected onto the paper cones...
Don't forget that tomorrow from 10:00-15:00, a bunch of roads around central #London are all closed off to cars, so if you want to go for a lovely ride along the Thames and past St Paul's and all that, it's a great day to do it: https://www.ridelondon.co.uk/our-rides/ridelondon-freecycle

44 years of reading, praying, eating gruel & salad, drinking small beer.
Jeremy Corbyn will be trying to retain his seat without #Labour behind him. He's standing as part of 'The Collective' (which is probably not an intentional Star Trek reference, but who knows) along with candidates standing in 3 other #London seats.
