Posted last week's round-up at lunchtime! Grab a brew and have a read! https://jamfactory.ghost.io/weekly-roundup-011/

Bonjour! A bit late with this roundup, but that's 'cause it's been a busy one this week. Still busy on secret things up at Aards, but plenty busy in the wee hours with the Beyond Tellerrand titles, as the event is just a few weeks

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Back in 2018, at Aardman, I had to create a 'user manual' for the alien spaceship in 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon' movie!

Just a few weeks until Beyond Tellerrand [ @beyondtellerrand.com ] and I’m busy crafting the titles! I’m hoping to play the titles - live - via a combo of an OP-Z, GoPro, OBS and Unity!

Serious question: what does a “Global Head of AI” do at an agency and why does it somehow feel like it is just a regular creative director with a cringey job title? 🥴

Spray tan, hollow gaze.

Generative Financial Crash Haiku Cut-ups

Financial crisis Haiku generatively made cutups.

Hear me out: a children’s book called “The Tariffalo” 🤔

Markets crash mashup. Another example, this time with Trump imagery. Haiku’s created from local LLM.

Local LLMs. Inspired by the @entagma tutorial by Christopher Kopic on using local LLMs inside Houdini, I made this little experiment inside Touch Designer which creates Haiku’s in the style of Will Self about the financial markets, in real-time, integrated with my type cutup machine. It uses Ollama to run an LLM on my local machine. Lots of potential to explore here.

Well poisoned, @heydon! ☺️https://heydonworks.com/article/poisoning-well/

Myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to learn Nothing Can Ever Be The Same — the real-time generative work based on the archive of Brian Eno which first premiered at the 2023 Venice Music Biennale has been shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize! Huge thanks to the jury for shortlisting our work.

@jasonsantamaria is back at blogging and I’m delighted to hear he decided to give @getkirby a try. 👏
Welcome back and have fun, Jason! 🤗

Shaz is great. Everyone hire Shaz. He also has impeccable dress sense too. Fact. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I’m currently working on a project where the devs obviously had no idea about how to implement responsive images correctly. It’s a wild mix of faulty media, srcset, sizes, and size(?) attributes on img and source tags that really feels like guesswork. (This is now a 10-year-old technology, btw…)

What's the best article (or video, @kevinpowell? 😁) about responsive images you know?
