We live in the area or anywhere else on the globe and we are committed to securing a bright future for the communities of this unique place. This Region of Uíbh Ráthach (Iveragh), this Skellig Coast in the South West of Ireland, has always been a Place where there is great Meas* on Learning and Knowledge and working together. When you look at the physical geography of this region, you'll understand why this Culture of Learning is embedded here for Millennia. Here on the Iveragh peninsula, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on 3 sides with the highest mountains in Ireland running down its spine, our communities were defined and our people shaped by those mountains and that Ocean. For our communities to survive here through the Millennia, we had to understand deeply and react quickly to the land and the ocean and to pass on those learnings down through the generations. And we needed to work together to thrive, to pool resources - particularly our energy and skills. We had the Meitheal^ long before the word "team-work" appeared on bookshelves! The ancient archaeological sites that abound in our Region stand testament to the complex engineering skills, ambition, ingenuity and tenacity of Our People. This is exemplified by the UNESCO, World Heritage Site of the 6th Century monastery on Skellig Michael, which stood as a place of learning and pilgrimage and was known across Europe and the world throughout the middle-ages. Our People have always been resourceful, adaptable and resilient and in the 21st century those traits have never been more important. This Place is where Oisín and Na Fianna of our mythology roamed, our townland names tell us that. This is the Place where communications across the Atlantic were reduced from 2 weeks to 2 minutes via the first Transatlantic Cable between Valentia Island and Newfoundland, heralding the start of a communications revolution that would turn the world into the global village we know today. Knowledge and an openness to Learning were vital for survival in this region then, as now, and with advances in technology and communications, our Meas on Learning remains the key to unlocking the natural potential so that Our People and communities thrive and continue to flourish and we can reverse the depletion of our strongest asset – our young people. Here in Uíbh Ráthach, on this Skellig Coast, there is time & space to Observe, to Notice, and to Create. In our landscape and amongst our people there are openings for inspiration and innovation that you haven't even dreamed of! We have been welcoming people to this Skellig Coast for Millennia and NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network is delighted to welcome the following international delegates to the VSMM Skellig Conference on October Bank Holiday Weekend, 28-29 Oct 2017, on the Skellig Coast, in advance of their annual global conference, being held in Dublin. http://vsmm.org/welcome/ We look forward to sharing, reflecting, teaching, exploring, learning and creating with our visitors. People make things happen and this project, working with the VSMM conference delegates, aims to support the goals of the communities in the Region in establishing Skellig Kerry as a Place of Learning. June O’Connell and Dr Oliver McCrohan, for NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network *Meas means "emphasis by respect' / "reverence”, as Gaelige. ^Meitheal; Co-operative labour system in Ireland where groups of neighbours help each other in turn. THURSDAY, 12th OCTOBER 2017 2 NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network The word "Naisc" means "links" in the Irish language. NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network is a virtual diaspora network. The members of the network either live, grew up in or have links to the Skellig Region of Kerry (from Kells to Castlecove), which is also known as Uíbh Ráthach. With global connectivity the world is small and we work together with people at home and afar to do some of the "heavy lifting” to drive and support projects at home in this special region that reared and educated us. We all have a great loyalty to this Region and this place has shaped us and those before us. It shapes our heritage, culture and traditions and the deeds we do in the world. “Plough and Spade and Seine-boat shaped them for the deeds they were to do, Street and School and Mountain heard their victory cry. Now their memories arch like rainbows o'er the meadows of the mind; the Alive who live forever and the Dead who’ll never die.” Sigerson Clifford (1913–1985) Pic: A rainbow breaks the storm clouds over Cahersiveen, 2017. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8356249 THURSDAY, 12th OCTOBER 2017 3 NAISC Skellig Kerry Diaspora Network Biographies of our Delegate Visitors Prof Alonzo (Lon) Addison • President, VSMM Society, Berkeley, CA, USA • Adjunct Professor in Design, OCAD University, Canada • Visiting Faculty, new media, University College Dublin. • Guest Professor, Lemaire Centre for Conservation at KU Leuven, Belgium.

As I promised in LEA 2:6, Greg Garvey provides insight into his Automatic Confession Machine (ACM), and Stephen Bell explores the aesthetics of interaction in an article and anotated list of characteristics which is an excellent complement to Stephen Pope’s “A Taxonomy of Computer Music” (LEA 2:1). Greg is planning to load ACM up into the Leonardo Electronic Almanac Gallery later in the month. I will make the appropriate announcement in a future issue of LEA, and I will update the README file immediately upon loading up the work, for those of you who may check between now and then. In addition, I am pleased that Jacquelyn Ford Morie, Co-Chair of 1 LEONARDOELECTRONICALMANAC V O L 2 N O 7 J U LY 1 9 9 4 ISSN 1071-4391 ISBN 978-0-9833571-0-0 SIGGRAPH’s “The Edge” venue, has provided advance abstracts of projects to be displayed at the exhibition.
