Painting 100,000 years ago

According to the New York Times, it turns out people painted as early as 100,000 years ago. And people didn’t start farming, for example, until about 10,000 years ago. This shows the importance of the creative instinct.

Tree of Life Visualizes the Cosmos Without CGI

For his cryptic family drama The Tree of Life, director Terence Malick wanted to conjure a vision of the cosmos. To do so, he recruited visual effects genius Douglas Trumbull and dropped a bombshell: Malick had no interest in computer-generated visuals. He wanted to go old-school. ” : http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/06/tree-of-life-douglas-trumbull/

Congratulations to Dr. Rogala

Congratulations to Dr. Rogala for being named a recipient of the 2010 Meier Achievement Award:

Meier Achievement Awards for 2010 Gives Thanks for Work of Four Artists

The 2010 awardees are classical music producer James Ginsburg, sculptor Terry Karpowicz, multi-media innovator Miroslaw Rogala, and dancer/choreographer Molly Shanahan.

Miroslaw Rogala is the Foundation’s first interdisciplinary achievement awardee. His interactive multimedia work combines drawing, photography and computer skills, using the viewer’s body as a triggering device. Rogala’s eGarden Project documents Chicago’s Washington Square. The Museum of Contemporary Art showed his interactive public art Nature Is Leaving Us in 1989, and his Divided We Stand in 1997. Rogala sells still photographs from his projects online. Rogala quipped, “Writing software for art is building a paintbrush, hair by hair.”

Crown and Glory

Good hair mean curls and waves.  Bad hair means you look like a slave.
All of those dirty unknown fingers trying to touch my hair.
They compared our hair to clothing.  Her’s looked like silk and mine looked like cotton.
They saw my hair and called me ignorant before I spoke.

Excuse Me! 
Buckwheat has not been recovered by black people as a positive representation of their reality.
I hate my new hairstyle because they said it gives me a thug image…what’s a thug image.
A sponge is typically used to wipe up dirt and grime and then tossed away when it is no longer useful…is this what my hair reminds you of.
I decided not to cut my hair and they decided to call me a jiggaboo02.
