Casey Reas. Studio Work. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures 2016年12月26日
http://www.egs.edu Casey Reas, Professor of Art and Digital Design at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas-Fee, Switzerland. July 04 2016.
Casey Reas, is a Los Angeles-based artist and programmer who, as he describes himself, “writes software to explore conditional systems as art. Through defining emergent networks and layered instructions, he has defined a unique area of visual experience that builds upon concrete art, conceptual art, experimental animation, and drawing. While dynamic, generative software remains his core medium, work in variable media including prints, objects, installations, and performances materialize from his visual systems.” [1]
Reas holds a Bachelor of Science in Design from the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati (1996), as well as a Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2001). An associate professor at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea between 2001–03, Casey was appointed professor at the Department of Design Media Arts at University of California, Los Angeles, in 2003.

Next to private and public collections (among them: the Centre Georges Pompidou), Reas’s work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Recent solo exhibitions include “Yes No” (Pasadena City College, 2014); “ULTRACONCENTRATED” (bitforms gallery, New York, 2013); “CENTURY” (Gallery [DAM]Berlin, 2012); and “Process” (BCA Center, Burlington, 2012). Among his numerous group exhibitions are, more recently, “//the ART_of_DATA” (Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, 2014, curated by Steven Sacks); “ArchiLab” (FRAC Centre, Orléans, France, 2013/14); “A New Sculpturalism” (Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2013; collaboration with P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S and North Sails); “AI Plus” (National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, 2013; curated by Hui-Ching Hsieh HSIEH); and “Microwave International Media Art Festival” (Hong Kong, 2012).

Among his recent commissions are “Fragrant World” (in collaboration with Aranda\Lasch, Nick Gould, and Yoshi Sodeoka), live visual media and sculptures for the Yeasayer's 2012 tour, commissioned by The Creators Project; “Signals” (in collaboration with Ben Fry), a mural for building 76 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2011); “Chronograph” (in collaboration with Tal Rosner), a software mural for the Frank Gehry-designed home of the New World Symphony in Miami (2011); and “Whitney Museum Gala 2010,” a software installation for the Annual Gala by the Whitney Museum of American Art.
In 2001, together with data visualization expert and artist Ben Fry, Reas invented and launched “Processing,” which he describes as an “open source programming language and environment for the visual arts,” [2] and subsequently co-authored Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists (MIT Press, 2007/2014). With the second edition having been significantly updated and revised, both editions provide “a comprehensive reference and text for Processing (www.processing.org), an open-source programming language that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects, researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and interactivity.” [3]

Jo Dunkley: Our window on the Universe - Rosalind Franklin Lecture 2016

source: The Royal Society 2016年11月24日
The night sky is fascinating to humans, giving us a window on space beyond our home on Earth. In this lecture, Professor Dunkley described how we have come to better understand our Universe, and some of the big questions about space and time that we are trying to answer. She talked about her research in this area, studying distant light coming from the earliest moments in time, in a quest to understand the Big Bang, the ingredients of the Universe, and the fundamental laws of nature.
Professor Dunkley also talked about the goal of engaging more young women to pursue physics, and about some of the scientists who have inspired and guided her.
The lecture was recorded on November 17 2016 at the Royal Society. For more events like this, see our schedule - http://ow.ly/KhTi306gTN1

Jose Ahedo, “Domesticated Grounds” (Wheelwright Prize Lecture)

source: Harvard GSD 2016年11月28日
Jose Ahedo established his own firm, Studio Ahedo, in 2010. His first completed project is Blanca, a dairy complex of thirteen buildings in the Pyrenees, including animal facilities, research labs, and an education center. Ahedo is also designing residential projects and he has consulted on graphic design, branding, and software development. In his lecture, he will speak about his project “Domesticated Grounds: Design and Domesticity Within Animal Farming Systems,” for which he won the 2014 Wheelwright Prize from Harvard GSD.Based on travel to remote rural areas in eight countries on four continents, “Domesticated Grounds” explores design and domesticity surrounding animal-farming operations. His trip of more than 8,500 miles over dusty and muddy roads has raised questions regarding our cultural and architectural heritage, infrastructural and territorial policies, landscape design, technological advancements, and gender and social issues associated with animal production. The goal of the investigation, through visits and interviews with some two hundred families, university technicians, scientists, local governments, and policy makers, is to demystify the current plight of various farming communities and seek opportunities for designers to take action in one of the most asymmetrical economic sectors.

David Macaulay: "The Way Things Work Now" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google 2016年11月22日
David Macaulay updates the worldwide bestseller The New Way Things Work to update us with the the latest developments in technology, from touchscreens to 3D printers. Each principle is captivatingly explained--with the help of a very endearing woolly mammoth. There is an illustrated survey of inventions, along with a glossary of technical terms, and an index. What possible link could there be between zippers and plows, dentist drills and windmills? Parking meters and meat grinders, jumbo jets and jackhammers, remote control and rockets, electric guitars and egg beaters?

The Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo, Part Two: The Spiritual Empiricist, with Debashish Banerji

source: New Thinking Allowed 2016年1月6日
Debashish Banerji, PhD, is Dean of Academic Affairs at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles as well as an adjunct faculty member at Pasadena City College and the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is also the former director of the East West Cultural Center in Los Angeles. He is author of Seven Quartets of Becoming: A Transformative Yoga Psychology Based on the Diaries of Sri Aurobindo and also The Alternative Nation of Abanindranath Tagore, a book about his great grandfather. He edited an anthology about his great uncle, Rabindranath Tagore in the Twenty-First Century.
Here he describes how Aurobindo retreated to a spiritual life in the city of Pondicherry in south India that was under French control. During this period, he developed (or “received”) a detailed and extensive program of yoga. He also kept a very meticulous yoga diary that combined English and Sanskrit terms. He also began to experience a variety of paranormal abilities, documenting them in his diary and experimenting with them in various ways noting both his successes and failures. He also endeavored to integrate his spiritual and his political inclinations. Ultimately, he developed an approach to yoga that endeavored to achieve integration of all opposites. Integral yoga, therefore, entails a multi-dimensional experience of reality.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He serves as dean of transformational psychology at the University of Philosophical Research. He teaches parapsychology for ministers in training with the Centers for Spiritual Living through the Holmes Institute. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
