BEEN AT THE BEACH

Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been busy graduating and etc. I am a master now. (i still laugh when i say it to myself)

Latest scheme::
I worked under AWESOME STUDIO (soon to be Jenna Kappelt and my little studio) with the help of Jessica Rivera to participate in Park(ing)Day LA. I made a beach on Traction Street. Here are some of the photos that some one took and sent to me. More to post later.

the face of minimalism!

Future calls!

This is a fantastic blog but will have to write about later.. please check it out!!!

Open the Future!

installation progressions....

yikes. So here is a combination of what is going to be going on ....
Here is a mechanical dry erase board project that I found that is VERY VERY similar to my project. The guy who made it, Romado12187 has been a big help so far. Mine will just spray glue versus ink. As to spray the glue... I am going to make it as a tangent to this project. This whole thing has made me a bit nervous. I really hope I can pull this off. I also need to buy a blower...

Happy Birthday Internet! (belated)

Supercomputing Online pointed out that yesterday, June 30th was the birthday of the mordern Internet. In the early 1980s, NSF put together NSFNet as a network connecting regional computer networks around the country. The Department of Defense had already created the Arpanet network, which gave birth to many of the tools and techniques used on the modern Internet, but Arpanet traffic was limited to Defense-sponsored research. NSFNet was designed to be open to all users.

The design of NSFNet was awarded to a team made of MCI, IBM, and a computer-networking-technology consortium of Michigan universities called Merit Networks. Their main challenge: the network’s backbone ran at 56k/s, good old dial up modems. Take a moment and remember the sound. communication

Twenty years ago, on the evening of June 30th, a network engineer named Hans-Werner Braun sent that text in an an e-mail message to users of the National Science Foundation’s fledgling NSFNet project. The network’s main lines, or backbone, had been upgraded, he said.

This is the proposal for an installation I am making for the Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival . This is exploring some of the points in Level 1 of the steps to Inhaborg. This is also for a class I am taking with MarkDavid Hosale. So by the end of it (or at least August 8th) I will know how to get my little arduino board up and running.

Please keep checking the inhabitable organism blog because that's what's been taking most of my energy. Though, I have more to bring to these pages also.

and then sanford came to town...

Digital Pleistocene! The past 2 days have been filled with a plethora of intoxicating info streams all starting from the word "ecology." (notice the wikipedia hyper link) The second thing is "social" and the third is "predator-prey" relations. I am no going to give you the entire synopsis of events but let's say my other new adventure is researching and compiling a small archive of info on bonobo ape. They are the only other mammal that mates face to face other than humans. So expect more bonobo posts quite soon.
