16:27:00 From Frode Hegland : I would like to invite you to our annual Symposium on the Future of Text on the 4th of October (9-5). The event will be hosted by me and Vint Cerf in London. This year we are holding it at the Groucho Club. If you can come in person, PLEASE TELL ME SOON since there is a guest list at the venue. Zoom access is https://thefutureoftext.org/zoom/
- Extending Text, Extending Thought-
This year we are focusing on text to extend cognition in paper in notebooks, to reams of paper across tables and onto walls, with screens, projections and through AI/VR/XR devices.
16:27:07 From Frode Hegland : – Invitation –
Your Invitation: https://futuretextpublishing.com/contributors-welcome and you can see how previous years went here: https://thefutureoftext.org/symposium/
If you’d like to join us you may choose to write an article (pretty much any length, we have removed constraints as much as possible, to free up more opportunities), present at the symposium or both. Or you may of course choose to come by to listen and take part in the dialogue.
If you would like a prompt(!) about what to think about and what to write, please feel free to watch or skim through my 20 min presentation at Hypertext ’23 last week: https://youtu.be/5OUOx-JMcnI?si=xUmAlR89KeHfXkMY or skip to the questions: https://thefutureoftext.org/questions-about-vr-for-fot-v4/

Promising!
17:19:26 From Frode Hegland : TBL thought others would try to use the inversions to do good.
17:20:53 From Frode Hegland : Garble type, sorry
17:23:38 From Leon van Kammen : @Fabien Benetou the lowest common denominator is https://delta.chat since most messengers use email as a startingpoint.
Having that said, most people are already locked into earlier walled gardens (since people come for the app, and stay for the network)
