Over the weekend, I volunteered at the Art Hack SF Weekend held at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. There were artists, programmers, art directors, designers, musicians, and other creative types. How àpropos that Soundquake was one of the winners for the weekend (with the 5:33 am 4.0 magnitude morning shaker)! Below, are short impressions while I was sitting in on the presentations. Overall, it was a great group of mega intelligent folks working together to meet at the intersections of…

While volunteering for the GAFFTA Galvanize Gala, I had the opportunity to meet Aaron Koblin before the big rush of people. Yes, was completely artist-struck and geeked out but he was incredibly sweet. I’m really happy I introduced myself because he noticed my GAFFTA Volunteer badge and thanked me for volunteering. Yet, another geek out moment happened when I met John Gage, he was extremely kind. Overall, seeing some of the Board Members and meeting GAFFTA Faculty was fantastic. Eclectic Method DJed the…

Tonight, the Processing 101 class at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA) concluded and after the 4-day course, I know the (very) basics of Processing, which is a programming language developed for the visual artist in mind. The course was taught by extraordinary teacher, Ben Chun. The primary reason I decided to participate was to learn and engage with the very technology used by new media artists and I figured learning and exploring the language would inform my writing and reflections. The…

Being a volunteer at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts has given me access to some amazing resources. It’s been both an enriching and engaging experience. I’ve met some of the most creative minds (ever) volunteering and one of the latest ventures involves Processing. At first, there was a fair bit of trepidation taking the Processing 101 class.
