Go For Launch

Go For  Launch

Gardner Post and I will be presenting a new 12 screen video installation piece, Go For Launch, a Celebration of Power, at the Center For Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe.

Listen to the KSFR radio interview from Santa Fe Radio Cafe from Tuesday, May 5, 2009.

GO FOR LAUNCH
APRIL – JULY
Opens Wednesday May 6, 6:00p
Gardner Post and Brian Kane are artists working with video and emerging technologies in large-scale performance oriented installation and media-activism. Their new work at Munoz Waxman will include an interactive installation using original uncut NASA footage from the first space missions. It is a commentary on the Space Race, and the competition to land on the moon that was a product of the Cold War, technological superiority, and the real fear on both sides that the other might place weapons of mass destruction in space, all issues that are particularly relevant to both the region and the current political climate.

Addictive TV headline Battlejam at Cargo in London

Addictive TV headline Battlejam at Cargo in London, Easter 2009. Brainchild
of Beardyman, the UK beatboxing champion and all round rhythmic wonder,
Battlejam runs in both London (at Cargo) and in Brighton (at Audio). The
Easter 2009 special also featured Beardy’s mate and DMC champion scratcher
JFB, beat-jazzman Onyx Ashanti and his ‘robo oboe’, plus others for a night
of sampling and remix madness.

WGBH Forum Network

A few weeks ago, we re-launched the WGBH Forum Network website.

The WGBH Forum Network is an online video lecture site, featuring free online audio and video web lectures and mp3 download podcasts on science, politics, art, sports, history, and more.

There’s some great stuff on the site, including this lecture on Consciousness, Creativity, and the Brain by David Lynch at Emerson College, this lecture on Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness by Tal Ben-Shahar from the Museum of Science Boston, and some really cool Creative Mind radio interviews from the 1950′s, like this interview with Ben Shahn, The Painter as Creator.

We’ll be rolling out lots of new content and some fun new features over the next few months, too, so check back from time to time.

WGBH Forum Network is presented by WGBH Boston with PBS, NPR, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and The Lowell Institute.
