26 March! Unless we are travelling forward or back in time to another year...
Looking forward to talking about 'Fission-Fusion Minds and Selves in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe' with the Edinburgh Film Network at 40 George Square, Tuesday 24 March at 5:30-6:30. More info here:ed.ac.uk/literatures-la… EventBrite to register: eventbrite.co.uk/e/edinburgh-fi…
In our next Film Seminar on 26 March, @_mirandaanders will use Steve McQueen's Small Axe series as a case study to explore how the concept of 'fission-fusion' #cognition impacts the making of films and film characters. Discover more and how to book: edin.ac/3TwkUrc
@OliveFSmith @jules_rawlinson I'm in a network exploring expression of the Aristotelian golden mean of 'eutrapelia' in diverse early modern art forms; moderation become entangled with ideas of naturalism through ideas like sprezzatura. There's also the need to express passions or literally break your heart.
In this two-part blog series @_mirandaanders explores the notion of fission-fusion cognition drawing from humanities, arts, social science, and natural sciences. Highly relevant for our times. More info on skape.ed.ac.uk. @RoyalSocEd @YoungAcademySco @HCAatEdinburgh
@AlanJohnGow @CODIfringe @suziemo @StephenWr @edbeltane @pley_fair @StandComedyClub @heriotwatt_soss @HWEngage @New_TownTheatre @HeriotWattUni The @CODIfringe team are remarkable in helping skill up academics to share their expertise in comprehensible ways, creating a powerful means of sharing ideas entertainingly. Thank you! Looking forward to the 🌂's debut next year : )
@suchprettyeyes @CODIfringe @Pip__T @SchoolofPPLS @HCAatEdinburgh Looks like a show of interest to many on at #edfringe! Interesting from extended mind view too with tendency to privilege creativity as process that happens in brain(-body) rather than as distributed; tho new tools like Bing Creator - used to make my flyer : ) - make more visible
@suchprettyeyes @CODIfringe @Pip__T @SchoolofPPLS @HCAatEdinburgh Show with @Pip__T suggested interesting connections: we both analysed use of contemporary tech, Pip also tackled monetisation of words' value through poetic interventions & I discussed ways cognitive approaches illuminate how literature expands our minds. How about yours so far?
Can Data Unlock Creativity? Book now for my 2023 @CODIfringe shows on how creatives can create amazing things with data - and explore the exciting but challenging world of Creative AI. Shows on 9th, 12th, 21st August from @StandComedyClub @New_TownTheatre: thestand.co.uk/whats-on/show-…
Thanks @SchoolofPPLS! At least one pink haired psychologist @edfringe : ) Back on 7 Aug @New_TownTheatre talking about how extending minds natural & historical with @Pip__T of @GeosciencesEd on how monetising words limits their value @CODIfringe: Book: bit.ly/3qiAfBk
Tomorrow @_mirandaanders will be the first of our colleagues to take part in @CODIfringe as part of this year’s #edfringe. Miranda’s show - Has your phone replaced your brain? - examines whether your mind extends across brain, body and beyond? Book here: edin.ac/3YmF7ll
