it's unrelated...

but fantastic stuff. if you guys have an hour to burn, put on some headphones and listen up while you work on something.

one show about emergence, talks about groups and systems and how patterns form, and meaning & value develop. astounding.

another show, about morality, uses science as a basis for discussing morality - our ability to make decisions about right & wrong, and what factors in.

at the end of both, or either of these shows, you should find yourself asking lots of questions. and questions, we have learned (i hope) make for good art.

did i mention that these shows are free? and they have a radiolab podcast. for free.

it's hard to believe....

...but i screwed up.

turns out that we have one extra class, so next week is not our final class. we'll use next week to work (all day) on our Do It project, and have a final crit the following week.

i'll send out email updates this afternoon, but i wanted to at least post something for those of you who are looking.

here's a timely couple of images..

hey - look what i found! artist Linda Nochlin must have been thinking about our gender swap project!

photoshop file formats

follow this link (http://www.wfu.edu/~matthews/misc/graphics/formats/formats.html)to find out more about file formats. for our purposes, we'll only be using .psd and .jpg files.

keep in mind that all your projects should be 300 dpi - never less.

anybody willing to help out a mate?

David from our thursday class didn't collect portraits to use for the memory project. if anybody out there reads this note, send me an email if you're willing to send something to him. i'll pass along his email by request.

thanks a million! i'm sure he'll appreciate it.

i'm sure you saw this....

but it's still kind of neat. (2.15 minutes)
