I’m going to present a version of my “Psipunk” talk at the Cybermedia Center, Osaka University.
Here’s the Powerpoint!
The talk will be from 5 to 6 pm. on Tuesday, October 16, 2007.
I love Osaka for being the home town of one of my favorite rock bands: Shonen Knife, touring the US again in November.
Not to mention the experimental musician Tetsuya Umeda. Here’s a cool image from Umeda’s page:

Many of Bach’s works showed a unusual devotion to economy and concentration, melodic and contrapuntal writing of ravishing beauty derived from a single intricate theme, finding much in little, multum in parvo.
Our program is a collaboration between San Francisco’s historical-instrument Galax Quartet, triple harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton, and award-winning science fiction writer and mathematician Rudy Rucker, who will present his striking images of cellular automata, visually beautiful examples of multum in parvo.

Looking at my notes for the book, I find this summary of the goals I had for the book starting out:
