On NASDA Feasibility Study Art Project:
Art had send strong message to renewal the lifestyle and an outlook on the world on any time. Astronauts expect the art as medicine be stabled the mental. And, all of them talked the beauty of the earth and the earth's precious existence. And they said, the communication between space and the earth is important . I think the theme of Space Art is "The communication between human, the earth and space" and "The unification of human, the earth and space".
i quite like the sound wave sculpture using liquid in near zero gravity.

driving -- i miss it. as an sf denizen i thought it prudent to leave the car in seattle. this past weekend i took my trusty car around with matt, michelle, and dave. we had brunch, went to the seattle art museum, and grabbed cocktails and sushi. afterwards, i dropped misha and matt at their hotel -- they should be in spain now for their 3-week honeymoon!
yes, that is an old-school apple sticker still on my car. it was very popular on the microsoft campus when i was doing some encarta usability testing in the mid 90's.

I/O Brush: The World as the Palette
I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.
There are many paint/drawing programs on the market today that are designed especially for kids. These let kids do neat things, but kids usually end up playing only with the "preprogrammed" digital palette the software provides. The idea of I/O Brush is to let the kids build their own ink. They can take any colors, textures, and movements they want to experiment with from their own environment and paint with their personal and unique ink. Kids are not only exploring through construction of their personal art project, but they are also exploring through construction of their own tools (i.e., the palette/ink) to build their art project with.
