Steve Badanes is a co-founder of Jersey Devil, a group of architects, artists, and inventors, committed to the interdependence of design and construction.

The work has been the subject of two monographs: the Jersey Devil Design/Build Book and Devil’s Workshop–25 Years of Jersey Devil Architecture. Badanes has lectured on design/build at over 100 universities & a dozen countries. At University of Washington, Badanes holds the Howard S. Wright Endowed Chair and directs the Neighborhood Design/Build Studio, which builds small public projects for Seattle area non-profits. He has led design/build studios throughout the US and in Canada, Cuba, Finland, Ghana, India, and Mexico.

In this President's Lecture series, Associate Professor of Media Art Julia Christensen presented her ongoing research and art project about “upgrade culture”—the perceived need of having to relentlessly upgrade our electronics and media to remain relevant.
Christensen also touched on her current collaboration with scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory envisioning an artwork to be embedded on a spacecraft that will travel to Proxima b, an exo-planet 4.2 light years from Earth.

Gail Straub's lecture addresses how to put our compassion into action. How do we make compassion real in everyday ways; caring for a child, an aging parent, a difficult family member, a troubled co-worker, as well as caring for social justice and ecological causes.

La force des livres est de pouvoir nous plonger dans des états seconds, de nous faire vivre des songes les yeux ouverts... en voici trois excellents exemples.
On commence avec Junky où l'amérique d'après guerre d'une génération en marge, sombre et libre est livrée brute par William S. Burroughs. On vit chaque trip, chaque injection comme si on y était - ce qui est un peu déroutant le matin avant le boulot mais qui fait de ce livre est un must read.
Puis Zombies, une autre époque (les années 80) et une autre génération d'américains riches, perdus, shootés au Valium et compètement pathétiques, et sans doute l'un des livres qui porte le mieux son titre.
Mais que vient faire Haruki Murakami entre ces deux enfants terribles des amériques? hé bien, avec son univers onirique et poétique, on ne sort pas du songe dans lequel nous ont plongé Ellis et Burroughs, mais le songe change de forme, il devient doux et beau. C'est le deuxième Murakami que je lis après les amants du Spoutnik et ça se lit sans fin, rien d'autre à ajouter.
Kafka sur le rivage - Haruki Murakami - 10/18
Junky - William S. Burroughs - folio
Zombies - Bret Easton Ellis - 10/18
