Ray Kurzweil on VBS

FlyLo and Strangeloop 'Heaven and Earth Magic' score

Flying Lotus and Dr. Strangeloop scored the avant garde Harry Everett Smith film Heaven and Earth Magic (wiki | imdb) for the Ann Arbor Film Festival on March 26th. Here are two videos and an interview posted by meadorni (via prefixmag)

Please take care to note that, right at the end of the interview, Strangeloop gets asked about the Singularity. The singularity could be the biggest treat of all, and it's pretty important that you get to know what it is:

• Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is Near (wiki | twitter | homepage | TED talks)

• Various blogs and tech sites covering the singularity:

Singularity Hub

H+ Magazine

Institute for the Future

The Singularity Institute

Singularity University

Future Current

Alexander Kruel

Today and Tomorrow

Sapiens Anonymous

Centauri Dreams

Space Collective

In the aftermath of the Singularity, intelligence, derived from its biological origins in human brains and its technological origins in human ingenuity, will begin to saturate the matter and energy in its midst. It will achieve this by reorganizing matter and energy to provide an optimal level of computation to spread out from its origin on Earth.

We currently understand the speed of light as a bounding factor on the transfer of information. Circumventing this limit has to be regarded as highly speculative, but there are hints that this constraint may be able to be superseded. If there are even subtle deviations, we will ultimately harness this superluminal ability. Whether our civilization infuses the rest of the universe with its creativity and intelligence quickly or slowly depends on its immutability. In any event the "dumb" matter and mechanisms of the universe will be transformed into exquisitely sublime forms of intelligence, which will constitute the sixth epoch in the evolution of patterns of information.

This is the ultimate destiny of the Singularity and of the universe.
