Personal stuff

So we’re not in the habit of using this blog as a place to update on personal information, but we did want to announce that we will be leaving Chicago at the end of the summer. There are lots of events planned for Fishbowl starting with a video installation opening on April 2 at 7pm. If you’re in the neighborhood stop by and say hello! Also check out the gallery’s page for updated information on upcoming events.

We’re currently developing 2 classes looking at art & science – one a materials and process-based chemistry class, the other a historical survey and examination of the scientific method. Pretty great stuff. Ruby will also be teaching the History & Analysis of Graphic Design starting in April.

pl_arts_found1_fHere’s a link to a short article in WIRED about artist Nikki Graziano, who is currently studying at RIT.

Some nice images – and you’ve got to love any artist that simultaneously wants to get people interested in math.

Decode Exhibition – London

Here is some beautiful digital art-making. It’s giving me some ideas about The Facebook Project (tentative title that I’m not really happy with…). Enjoy.

Dunbar and Facebook

Do you know how many friends your brain can handle? Well, one guy thinks that it’s 150. And that counts for Facebook too.

This is something I wish I would have thought of myself:

“AFP writes that five French journalists have agreed to lock themselves in a farmhouse in France for five days, where they’ll write news based only on what they read on Twitter and Facebook.”

You can read a bit more about it here.
