Dark Circles have only been releasing music over the past few years, each time with infrequency but serious impact, and always on their own, specially tailored imprint, DC Trax. They also nailed a weird and wonderful remix of Phantasy’s own Future Four (a creative partnership between Erol Alkan and The Emperor Machine founder, Andy Meecham), which has become a go-to selection for the likes of Gerd Janson. Consisting of the acid-tinged dream team of Iain Bogg and Matthew Waites, both of whom have been DJing for decades, the music of Dark Circles is a case study in the power of acid techno, with shades of Chicago jack and even the vintage days of proper proggy house. We caught up with DC’s own beloved North-Londoner, Iain Bogg, to talk formative influences, the benefits of running your own imprint and why despite their fruitful studio partnership, we might not be hearing a Dark Circles LP anytime soon >> phantasy-sound.lnk.to/blog Follow Dark Circles: https://www.facebook.com/dark.circles1/ https://www.twitter.com/dark__circles https://open.spotify.com/artist/43pj4N1pZ37GsqCFt1C0QV?si=pzn-6rE0Ryysp_emw29YSg
I Almedalen i somras arrangerade Sveriges Radio ett seminarium om robotar, artificiell intelligens och journalistik. Här är en kortversion av journalistikprofessorn Matthew Waites föreläsning. Robotarna är här nu. Tekniken har kommit så långt att möjligheterna finns att låta artificiell intelligens sköta allt mer i vårt samhälle, som till exempel journalistiken. Under politikerveckan i Almedalen 6 juli 2016 arrangerade Sveriges Radio ett seminarium med rubriken: "När tar robotarna över politik och media?" Inbjudna gäster att prata om detta var bland andra Matthew Waite, professor i journalistik på College of Journalism and Mass Communications vid University of Nebraska-Lincoln och grundare av Drone Journalism Lab. Medieormen spelade in seminariet och här har redaktören Cecilia Djurberg gjort en sammanfattning av Matthew Waites föreläsning, som sänds i P1 nyårsafton 31 december 2016 kl 19:50, med repris nyårsdagen 1 januari kl 07:45.
