That’s extremely interesting, thank you for posting the link.

Can we ever imagine dna sequencing been done like a remoter sensor? E.g. automated sampling for e(environmental) dna,in-situ sequencing (single and multi species targeting), results transmitted back wirelessly. A biodiversity IoT system?

It's specifically focused on the domain of Art and argues that Art is essentially a cooperative networked activity - a network of producers, suppliers, distributers, influencers etc who all contribute to a final piece of Art.

Howard Becker's Art Worlds book looks at this very issue - it's a very interesting read.

Not mine - but looks very interesting

Has anyone characterised server less architectures? I'm interested in testing / exploring the limits with some predictive modelling work and implementing (mathematical) functions as FAAS? No doubt, it 'depends' (e.g. nature of data and its locality or otherwise) but interested to hear if anyone is looking at very fine-granularity server less systems?

Are you thinking of (a version of) Metaprogramming? As opposed to Transpiling.

Really simple example at http://lovingmaps.herokuapp.com/gent/

Tiles are on (ahem) dropbox at moment - but S3 / local server would be same. Tiles were generated with TileMill.

Actually, I really like the simplicity of this - will give it a try! It would (of course) be nice to save locally thought.

I've found http://fritzing.org/home/ really useful.
