Call me a complete slave to work and mental productivity but I just had to do it. The online course is free and in partnership with Stanford’s Engineering Department. I’ve gotta say I’m a bit more partial to MIT’s Open Courseware BUT Stanford did get a lot of Press for this Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) class so I couldn’t resist the hype. Then again, my Mom reminds me that nothing is ever ‘free’. By the way, I acknowledge this endeavor will…

Hella More Funner is an art collective consisting of Sam Fuchs and Adam Gray. We have been working together over the Internet since 2007. Our process involves obsessively collecting thousands of images and icons from the Internet and collaging them. Glorified drug abuse, subcultures, fame, overproduction, waste, capitalism, politics, and hyped-up fads are the themes in these convoluted compositions. As we unwittingly developed a religious devotion to modern life’s input overload, the Internet has become our deity. ~ Hella More…

Although there have been mixed reviews of the Adobe Museum of Digital Media (AMDM), I’m a huge fan and it’s a virtual space I cannot resist. I’ve anticipated the latest exhibition, Inform: Turning Data into Meaning, curated by Thomas Goetz (Executive Editor of Wired Magazine). One of the exciting aspects of the exhibition was seeing artist Aaron Koblin as one of the exhibiting artist. Koblin sits on the board of directors at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA), which is…
