Last night I had the pleasure of receiving my dear friend Philip Jones (other triber, musician and computer geek, see photo) for a lecture on my New Technologies class at the Grade in Communication at UPIS (Brasília). It was a very fine speech on Networks axiology (in a social approach), Collective Intelligence and correlate notions, pragmatically examplified on webservices like Amazon Books, Google, Wikipedia and Ebay, which imply very intelligent strategies for serving their clients (as) nets.

After that, we went out for a japanese restaurant where we exchange our musical recent projects. After talking about mash-up and his ideas on making ovni-lounge (hear some examples at www.nooranch.com/synaesmed...vnilounge/ ) with brazilian north-eastern influences besides others, I told him about my Mutations experimental music, which is about to become a ballet in Maracaibo, Venezuela, under the choreographic hand of Yasmin Villavicencio, de la Universidade del Zulia. This piece of music is a holonomic and fractal composition based upon the 64 hexagrams of I-Ching (I will talk a little bit more about it in a next post).

We are planning to do some musical stuff together, maybe finding a way of using a wiki for that.
