Images of Today (photos)

My bro Clay and I tooks pics and posted an image for every day from April 5, 2007 - April 5, 2008: IoT. I'm still trying to post every day, and here are all of the 405+ horizontal pics: horizontal.

Index card drawings (draw; big)

index card drawings: (both are 120 index cards: 4 feet 2 inches tall, and 3 feet wide: 50"x36")

Frederick Wiseman - Blind (documentary; 1986)

Before Talladega Nights, there was Blind (library write-up):

This film follows K-12 students at the Alabama School for the Blind, where blind and visually impaired students have been educated to be in charge of their lives. Sequences include mobility training, braille instruction, traditional classroom education, psychological counseling, vocational training, staff dealing with student disciplinary problems, and the wide variety of recreational and athletic programs.

Andrea Polli (CU lecture; March 18, 2007)

An interesting spiel on the sonification of large-scale data sets. In other words, check out her website. She collaborates w/ scientists (gets their data) and translates it into sound. Like Lita Albuquerque, she's been to Antarctica on an art grant. She uses weather stations and, for example, and maps temperature data to pitch, producing sounds of varying intensities and frequencies. The actual noises she makes aren't as interesting to me as her process and subject matter, but what she's doing is pretty cool, especially on the web.
