God Doesn't Play Dice with the Digital World
How can we use randomness and chaos to compute beautiful digital worlds?
In a world so diverse and detailed that we can’t even begin to model its every complexity, it is possible to explore not just a world, but an entire universe within a single laptop. Using procedural generation, a single seed of random data can be grown into a universe of almost infinite complexity.
In this lecture, Dr. Nicolas Wu, selected through student vote, will be exploring how we can use randomness and chaos to compute beautiful digital worlds.

'Over the rainbow: a brief (socio)history of queer resistance' with Jamie Lawson
Jamie Lawson's 0219 Best of Bristol lecture.
Contextual statement for Jamie's tshirt:
"Be gay do crimes" emerged as a political, queer slogan fairly recently - appearing most famously in a cartoon that did the rounds online in 2018, and spreading rapidly around queer activist communities after that (although the author of that cartoon has stated that the slogan predates their work, and has been part of queer collective consciousness for some time). Across the globe, marginalised people are often forced to resort to tactics which are classified as crimes simply to survive. Being LGBTQ+ is itself a crime in many countries, being fully decriminalised in the UK as recently as 2013 - the slogan commemorates those facts. The argument of my talk was that the marginalisation of queer communities around the world connects directly to colonialism and colonialist practices, which is why I chose to wear the tshirt. The slogan also commemorates the activists who engaged in civil disobedience in order to push the cause of LGBTQ+ liberation forwards. Stonewall, after all, was a riot.

Should I fear my death? BoB 2016
"Where death is, I am no longer, where I am death is not." If life and death are mutually exclusive, then we have no reason to fear death; but could it have a role to play in life?
In this thought-provoking talk, Professor Havi Carel explores the question of whether we should fear our own death through contrasting the views of Epicurus and Heidegger.
