SocialMachinesReal life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid.

Psychology and digital technology are being combined to understand music in new ways. In the run-up to the Being Human festival, a group of students in the audience for Wagner’s epic ‘Ring Cycle’, conducted by Valery Gergiev (Birmingham Hippodrome) will take part in an intriguing experiment to monitor the sensations produced over the 16-hour cycle of four operas.

How do we really experience Wagner’s music?
