We continue on Sunday from the comfort of our temporary homes. I'm happiest when worlds ("online" and "real") are merging together. What we have experienced yesterday with the global anti-war action doesn't seem separate from what we are currently mediating through the software. With the memory of the social network formed around the protest still fresh in my body we embark on another session.

email to isabelle from michelle: Right now i am trying to make some presets for text/image/bg image algorithms that might be useful, perhaps similar to the presets that you are using in imag/ine. I 've just made myself a third (!) cup of coffee and am going to make a patch using the array and multi input function, using the keyboard as a trigger. I'm thinking about different bits of movements, and aesthetical flows that might be nice to work with. You can join me at any time.

email to michelle from isabelle: c%l! let's give it a try i've been thinking do i necessarily be on a fast connection? if we work w/ txt and a few mock-up images i could even connect from home. then i could jump in right now, otherwise it'll be 4pm from the bunker. whatever, soon! i.

The environment is becoming so intertwined that if we make small changes, for example in the value of one parameter of one module, this change affects the entire patch. We are creating an elaborate live system where not one object exists independently. The sum is the whole of it's parts. The liveness of the patch is dependent on both of us present. We're in a new state of synergy. And it's beautiful too!

We work for 8 hours together. Later on I join her again briefly from SHARE. It's been a long day for both of us. We connect for 15 minutes to say a quick goodnight. The next day, I open up the patches we saved from the day before. There is nothing there.
