Dear Tejaswini,

thanks for your inspiring research - https://events.stanford.edu/events/818/81834/ - and Stanford talk just now.

Am curious to stay in touch about exploring anthropologically and ethnographically specific kinds of Hindustani-music musicophilia (ecstatic, loving bliss neurochemistry?) on the ground in Mumbai, for example, as well as potentially virtually in a realistic virtual Mumbai / realistic virtual earth (am thinking Google Streetview with Time Slider / Maps / Earth), where we could add, for example, the two videos you shared, and even re Google AI - https://twitter.com/GoogleAI/status/1131615568753115136 - and machine learning. (See too the Tweets at the top of this WUaS Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hash). In what ways could we begin to explore in the “What breath control” video, questions of specific individual's unique musicophilias (and even re all kinds of qualities of 'affective states')?

Am doing and am interested in doing further related ethnographic work with regards to ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - and with regards to my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' project and even with brain research re questions of 'Subjectivity and Sociality in Mumbai's Musicophilia' ... and socially online (and even re questions of the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool and potentially musicophilia and more).

How might we best communicate further about this?

Thank you again for your far-reaching interests and focus.

Thank you,

Scott

P.S.

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here, and "walk" "4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

And to show how we can all add data to this ginormous multimedia project, I added this photo of the Harbin gate house to Google Street View here - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Harbin+Hot+Springs/@38.7860806,-122.6518315,3a,109.6y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE%3Dw203-h153-k-no!7i576!8i436!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xde57c3ab0ecaa2c9!8m2!3d38.7860806!4d-122.6518315 - as an example of what could get very involved machine learning-wise if people were adding video of all kinds of musicophilia.

Murals of Tibet: a talk with Thomas Laird

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for your very far-reaching 'Murals of Tibet: a talk with Thomas Laird' talk yesterday at the Rumsey Maps' Center - https://events.stanford.edu/events/832/83273/ - with its incredible 50 gigabyte pixel photos of Tibetan Buddhist didactic art, and your amazing narrative about this.

When the Tibetan gate opened on that 16 panel screen to reveal what was behind it - both a walk way on the left, and an avatar teacher on the right - it made me think of the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house (my ethnographic field site for actual-virtual anthropological comparison) and wonder how too we could go further with 50 GB pixel video that we could all add to a realistic virtual earth for something (a new social theory method) I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - and patch it all together, and even 50 GB pixel video at the cellular and atomic levels for brain science (big data project), in addition to humanities research.

And your sharing, and even teaching, about Buddhism (and Yoga too) via the art you photographed is so great - and especially re your connection with the Dalai Lama (just found this -

https://youtu.be/_pRJ5RYQ4qI). All very mind-expanding. Thank you.

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels too in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here, and "walk" "4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

Thank you, Thomas ! And how might we communicate further about possible collaboration? In developing World Univ & Sch, which is like Wikipedia in ~300 languages with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages (and seeking to license for free-to-students' online degrees in many languages, first with the state of California), am seeking to create such a realistic virtual earth as art, humanities and STEM field sites and classrooms.

All the best,

Scott
