Today is Taeyoon Choi ’s Birthday. After following his work for years I finally met him, saw him present, and participated in his short work at the Eyeo festival earlier this Summer. ( I’d love to do a longer one, like a session at the School for Poetic Computation.) I was taken aback by how very intimate his work is, how especially in a live setting, I not only found myself intellectually stimulated … but also emotionally moved. This Summer he is serially publishing a new book online about his experience of building a computer basically from the ground up. This is the most recent chapter: http://avant.org/project/zero-one/ .
