Today was a big day for the Net Neutrality issue - Eyebeam testified at City Hall in favor of Net Neutrality. This short video clip is of Emma

The workshops are artist-led, free (save for minimal material costs), and you’ll l...eave with gifts that will far surpass lopsided clay mugs of years past … All in all: A fun, thrifty, edutainment alternative to the trance- and occasionally rage-inducing department-store crawl!

2:00 – 6:00 PM : SkillShare w/Steiner and members of RjDj programming team
Free, capacity for up to 30 participants
RSVP HERE: http://tinyurl.com/ykaq3l3
Hans-Christoph Steiner returns to Eyebeam with members of the RjDj programming team from Euro...pe to help turn your iPhone or iPod-Touch into a programmable, generative, and interactive sound-processor! Create a variable echo, whose timing varies according to the phone's tilt-sensor or an audio synthesizer that responds to your gestures, accelerations and touches. Abuse the extensive sound capabilities of the Pure Data programming language to blend generative music, audio analysis, and synthy goodness. If you're familiar with the awesome RjDj, then you already know the possibilities of Pure Data on the iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd and 3rd generation Touch only).
turn your iPhone or iPod-Touch into a programmable, generative, and interactive sound-processor!

Play it Cool? In Search of an Ethics and Aesthetics for dealing with Climate Change.
But why not play it cool? Why not survive
By Nature’s laws that still keep us alive?
~Wendell Berry
An anti-consumerist ethic and politics should therefore appeal
not only to altruistic compassion and environmental concern
but also to the mo...re self-regarding gratifications of consuming differently:
to a new erotics of consumption or hedonist 'imaginary'."
~ Kate Soper
A Workshop with Marina Zurkow, Una Chaudhuri, and Fritz Ertl
• Workshop fee $5. Sign-up here: http://bit.ly/play-it-cool •
($5 covers food and drink costs)
The science of climate change seems finally to have silenced all but the most benighted of global-warming naysayers; today, few sane people doubt that it is time —way past time—for governments world wide to take action against the disastrous industrial practices that are threatening to change the very outlines of the continents and to bring untold destruction and suffering to millions of members of both our species and others’. Yet the changes that are needed are happening—if they are happening at all—at a glacial pace and insufficient scale.
Clearly, the facts of science have not been enough to galvanize citizens or governments. What else is needed? What will raise awareness to the point of meaningful action? What new values might provide the foundation for such action? What new ethics will have us feeling and thinking differently about our lives and life-styles? What new aesthetics will illuminate our situation and empower us to make the changes we need?
•••
This workshop will use performance, discussion, and art analysis to explore what the philosopher Kate Soper has called “aesthetic revisioning” in service of a new set of values she calls “alternative hedonism.”
Participants are asked before coming to read four (mostly brief) texts and to prepare a response to the readings in the form of a project of their own. (The fourth text, by Kate Soper, is a little longer and while strongly recommended - because it is so great - is optional) The project can be something you have already completed, or entirely new; it can be visual, performative, writing, sound, etc.
The workshop will begin with a Presentation Slam, with each participant showing and talking about his or her project for FIVE minutes. Following a short period of response and discussion, participants will divide into groups for a performance-based exploration of both the issues and the forms addressed in the projects.
Some of the strategies included in this think-make workshop include: embodying visual art, thinking of animals and plants as docents and helpers, rethinking the transformation of urban space and the imaginary to be inclusive of other species, and an exploration of what it would mean to inhabit a more organic and sensory life.
The readings are:
* Wendell Berry, “A Speech to the Garden Club of America,” The New Yorker, September 28, 2009. [poem]
* Epicurus, “Letter to Menoeceus” and “Exhortation” [6 pages]
* Robert Harrison, "The Garden School of Epicurus" Gardens, An Essay on the Human Condition [8 pages]
* Kate Soper, “Alternative Hedonism, Cultural Theory and the Role of Aesthetic Revisioning.” Cultural Studies, Volume 2, No. 5 September 2008, pp. 567-587. [20 pages (Optional but Highly Recommended Read)]
• Download all four as one compressed file here.
• $5 workshop fee to cover food and drink.
