Notes: Stieglitz made a number of images of fisher folk at a coastal town in the Netherlands and claimed that this one was his favorite because of how it typified their very existence. It expresses the life of a young Dutch woman; every stitch in the mending of the fishing net, the very rudiment of her existence, brings forth a torrent of poetic thoughts in those who watch her sit there on the vast and seemingly endless dunes, toiling with that seriousness and peacefulness which is so characteristic of these sturdy people. All her hopes are concentrated in this occupation – it is her life. (source: Stieglitz, Alfred, Richard Whelan, and Sarah Greenough. Stieglitz on Photography: His Selected Essays and Notes)
Through his activities as a photographer, critic, dealer, and theorist, Alfred Stieglitz had a decisive influence on the development of modern art in America during the early twentieth century. Born in 1864 in New Jersey, Stieglitz moved with his family to Manhattan in 1871 and to Germany in 1881. Enrolled in 1882 as a student of mechanical engineering in the Technische Hochschule (technical high school) in Berlin, he was first exposed to photography when he took a photochemistry course in 1883. From then on he was involved with photography, first as a technical and scientific challenge, later as an artistic one. Returning with his family to America in 1890, he became a member of and advocate for the school of pictorial photography in which photography was considered to be a legitimate form of artistic expression. In 1896 he joined the Camera Club in New York and managed and edited Camera Notes, its quarterly journal. Leaving the club six years later, Stieglitz established the Photo-Secession group in 1902 and the influential periodical Camera Work in 1903. In 1905, to provide exhibition space for the group, he founded the first of his three New York galleries, The Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which came to be known as Gallery 291. In 1907 he began to exhibit the work of other artists, both European and American, making the gallery a fulcrum of modernism. As a gallery director, Stieglitz provided emotional and intellectual sustenance to young modernists, both photographers and artists. His Gallery 291 became a locus for the exchange of critical opinions and theoretical and philosophical views in the arts, while his periodical Camera Work became a forum for the introduction of new aesthetic theories by American and European artists, critics, and writers. After Stieglitz closed Gallery 291 in 1917, he photographed extensively, and in 1922 he began his series of cloud photographs, which represented the culmination of his theories on modernism and photography. In 1924 Stieglitz married Georgia O'Keeffe, with whom he had shared spiritual and intellectual companionship since 1916. In December of 1925 he opened the Intimate Gallery and in 1929 opened a gallery called An American Place, which he was to operate until his death. During the thirties, Stieglitz photographed less, stopping altogether in 1937 due to failing health. He died in 1946, in New York. (source: The Phillips Collection)

So if you've been following along with my Fishing Boat, the Koroleva Rusalka you would have seen the recent video
I posted about taking it out to the beach. As I said, I learn a few things way back when, i tested out the boat in my tub. It was quite clear the boat was back heavy. So the modification I made to the ship was as followed:
1. The crew quarters in the hull has been raise by two plates to make the interior removable.
2. I added some bulkhead hatches to some of the doors to keep the water out.
3. To further bring the weight up to the front, I switch out the old Ice maker and Refrigeration unit with a couple of modified weighted bricks used for older boat sets that I inherited from my brother. These were original details I had in the old build, but I forgot to take a picture of them beforehand.

Last night these pretzel makers were in a Japanese food court in my dream. All female employees wore their strawberry blonde hair in a pouf like Marie Antoinette and all male employees had short reddish-blond hair and triangular beards and moustaches. Some of the men had short hair and others had a George Washington style. You can't really tell the age from the drawing but all the employees were in their 20s.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Dada movement, a Pseudo-Symposium on 'Data Dada' was held at Stanford on April 13, 2016.
This event was hosted by cultural historian Piero Scaruffi, organizer of the Leonardo Art/Science Evening Rendezvous (LASERs). It was a stimulating evening with many kindred spirits, such as interactive artist Kal Spelletich (see my short video of his noise machines in this set), futurist composer Luciano Chessa (playing his electric saw), Jonathan Keats (presenting his Copernican Art Manifesto) and Burning Man's co-founder John Law, to name but a few. Through these talks, Piero aimed to link today's age to Dada's age, which was just what we needed.
I was invited invited to present our ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine at this extravagant centennial, and gave a short talk in full regalia about our community-created poetic oracle -- and the peer learning network that evolved from it. People seemed to appreciate our collaborative maker art, and I expect a few of them will come view our work in our upcoming exhibits.
I also enjoyed spending time with my friends and art partners who joined us at Stanford: Dr. Skidz, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Dr. Zboon (a.k.a. Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis, who rode to Stanford with me): we had some great conversations about art, dada, politics, theater and the rise of a new humanism.
The highlight of the evening for me was meeting Kal, who demonstrated two of his noise machines, including a sling shot divining rod instrument and a robot that plays the violin when people make its light shine on a pine cone. His interactive art is really original, bringing a grunge aesthetic to a field that’s often a bit too slick. He creates magic by connecting everyday objects to do wild things with simple electronics.
Overall, it was a fun and informative evening, and I enjoyed meeting so many 'like minds', at the frontier of knowledge and imagination. Merci, les amis!

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

A complex landscape of steps, columns, braces, windows, reflections, and buildings
I made this photograph near the new, lower level entrance to the remodeled San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) during a visit around the start of the new year. The old entrance to the museum has now been augmented by a new entrance that leads into the newly added wing. A large installation fills the space on the very lowest level, and large windows open from there to the surrounding buildings and a stairway leading to the entrance one floor higher.
I love photographing in museums — for the architectural spaces and the people — and I photograph inside and around MOMA every time I visit. Some subjects are immediately obvious but other take a bit longer to figure out. This open area on the lower level is, for me, in the latter category. It immediately felt like a place to make photographs, but it has taken quite a few visits to begin to reveal its potential. This photograph is more or less a study of the many layers and angles found within and outside of this space, including layers of time between the very new museum and the very old brick wall just beyond the stairs.

Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

Notes: Francis Bedford was the son of the successful church architect Francis Octavius Bedford. He was christened at St Giles in Camberwell on 11 September 1815. He began his career as an architectural draughtsman and lithographer, before taking up photography in the early 1850s. Within a few years, he was working as a commercial photographer of landscape and architectural views. He helped to found the Royal Photographic Society in 1853. He had close links with the British monarchy, photographing objects in the royal collections for Queen Victoria and, in 1857, taking on a commission from Prince Albert to photograph his birthplace in Bavaria. In 1862 he accompanied the Prince of Wales on a four-month tour of the Middle East, making nearly 150 views which he exhibited and published on his return. On 1 November 1843 he married Mary Graham at St Andrew's in Holborn, London. The couple appear on the 1851 census living at 23 Rochester Road, Kentish Town, London, with their two young sons, Arthur and William. Francis gave 'Lithographic Artist' as his profession. When the 1861 census was taken, Francis, now an 'Artist', was staying at a hotel in Peterborough. Ten years later he and Mary were living at 326 Camden Road, London. Francis now gave 'Photographic Artist' as his profession. He was still at the same address in 1881.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her with her french, as well as expand her maker and multimedia skills. In today’s class, we walked around our house talking about everyday objects in French, to develop her vocabulary and conversational skills. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to turn lights on and off in software. She wrote more lines of code on her own to make the lights blink when a button is pressed. She completed all the tasks quickly and keeps getting more fluent in French as well as with technology, which is music to my ears. Based on what we’re learning together, I will adapt some of these lessons for future courses with my maker art classes.
We also discussed and improved the story line for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks. At Natalina’s suggestion, we removed a scene that wasn’t essential, and changed an important plot point to make it more interesting. We discussed how to show her character’s transformation by giving Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands — a material we haven’t used yet, but which looks promising. And we added a new transformation scene in our video storyboard, which now has animations, dialog and music. The overall experience seems to engage people we show it to, which suggests we may be on the right track. More to come ...
Here’s the Arduino Guide I created for these classes: bit.ly/arduino-workshop-guide

Because of the sharpness and lack of a framerate, the projection looks almost 3D. A beautiful depth of field effect is there, too.
