Relaying and mobilising (what this is for...)

The IPM provides a relay for all things to do with shifts in the perception of matter. Here you can post ideas, summaries and engagements with the ideas of others, links to other sites and groups, blatant self-promotion of your own work, questions, new methods and techniques (or, if you want to get it off your chest, the inadequacy of old methods), software developments, new forms of collaboration and cooperation, art ...

I've already drawn attention to some of the IPM's friends, Senselab, The Workshop in Radical Empiricism, and the Institute for Distributed Creativity. I hope that as well as relays or links such as these, people will post mobilisations of matter directly here as well - posting images - ideas, plans, new techniques or everyday experiences for engaging with the perception of matter. All these are most welcome.

More examples of the kinds of ideas and events I hope people might link to and discuss might include The Frequency Clock, "an is an experimental online + on-air broadcast system by r a d i o q u a l i a", which I've posted here because it's a technology for shifting the perception of matters, and reworking the politics involved. And here is Stamatia Portanova's new blog, Dancing Ideas, a lovely series of mini-meditations on philosophy related to movement and the body. And we might even find strange allies, such as the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics - "dedicated to protecting and advancing freedom of thought in the modern world of accelerating neurotechnologies". Here is Transmute Collective's Intimate Transactions, a lovely networked installation that you can move around by rolling your shoulders, and John Sutton's great set of links concerning embodied mind, extended mind and dynamicism. And finally, here are some great thoughts on where educational technology might be going, on Kate Simpson's elgg for Personal Learning Networks.

Happy relaying!
