This week, I received feedback on my blog from Celes Davar at Earth Rhythms. Our paths have crossed several times : Newfoundland, Prairies, Nova Scotia. Most recently, in the context of experiential tourism and his work with Food, Art and Nature (FAN) in Kings County.
He tells the story of the return of the American Woodcock. He uses a PUC (‘a small recording device that sits in our sunroom and records bird songs, continuously uploading them in real time via the Internet’)
( I imagine doing the same with a beautiful male pheasant, in our backyard)
Edward sent me an email on Memory Mapping. Marlene Creates, a Canadian Artist is giving a talk at a UK conference, April 30, 2025 on’Walking and Memory Mapping’ ( I will try to add the link, in Edward’s absence).
Last Night (Wednesday) Heather and I attended Matthew Rouse’s presentation ‘ Introduction to AI’ at the Lower Granville Hall. It proved to be an excellent talk, to an audience of about 16, at a great location. The only drawback was the drive home to Middleton on a dark April evening.
There will be a lunch time presentation by Heather Leblanc on MapAnnapolis this Sunday, 12 noon, same location.
It is truly remarkable to find these presentations, available in rural Nova Scotia. It gives me insight into a proposal to COGS on ‘AI and the Geography of Annapolis County’. (See next week blog).
