one of the bands i had the pleasure of touring with this last month was Grave Maker. I just finished this design for them. I would like to thank Pushead for the inspiration with... uh... everything.
In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

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!

This spring, our Maker Art students at the Lycée Français in Sausalito created a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
Their floating city is called Ghost Terraces. It is a luxury resort for rich old snobs who come there to get extra body parts, as well as mutant sharks, robot maids, human clones and alien visitors. It features futuristic wonderbox homes created by each student, as well as public spaces developed collaboratively, such as: an underwater cove, a sandy beach, an art gallery, a suspended bridge, skyscrapers and a moon hotel.
In our tenth and final class this school year, we hosted five ‘show and tells, first with other students, then with parents. Four different classes came to see the exhibit, and our students demoed for them like champs. And we had a great turnout from parents and family at 4:30pm as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the presentations.
Through this course, students developed a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they created their own interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful way that makes learning more fun.
It was a real pleasure to teach this after-school course with my partner Cynthia Gilbert. Our students accomplished a lot in a short amount of time and learned many new skills, which we hope will serve them well in the future, such as collaboration, creative expression and problem-solving. And they learned to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.
To plan our next steps, we asked students to take a quick survey about this maker art course: overall, they found the class ‘very good’; about three quarters would like to take it again; and most would recommend it to a friend. One student summed it up pretty well: ‘I learned how fun technology is.’ They also gave us some good suggestions for planning future courses.
We are very happy to see our students so engaged in this hands-on, project-based, student-driven activity. This bodes well for this educational program, and we look forward to offering more maker art courses for youth in lower and middle-schools this fall.

Maker: Edouard Baldus (1813-1889)
Born: Germany
Active: France
Medium: heliogravure
Size: 9 3/4" x 13 1/3"
Location: Paris
Object No. 2014.310
Shelf: B-37
Publication: E. Baldus, Reconstruction de 'Hotel de Ville de Paris, Des Fossez et Cie, Editeurs, Paris, 1884, pl 55
Other Collections: Candian Centre for Architecture, Avery Library - Columbia University
Provenance: Bloomsbury Auctions, London, Photo Opportunities, February 28, 2014, lot 128
Notes: This plate is part of a series of 100 published by Baldus in 1884 showing the reconstruction of the Hotel de Ville in Paris following its destruction during the Paris Commune of 1871. It was Baldus last project; he declared bankruptcy in 1897 and died two years later. The photographer Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.

This event marks the return of our screening series with The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, as we celebrate 50 years of Cinematic Collaborations from the their Archive.
Screened in glorious 16mm, tonight’s program celebrates five decades of film collaborations from the collection of the New York based Film-Makers’ Cooperative. Scholar and historian P. Adams Sitney will introduce our first short works — three New York City cine-poems shot by Rudy Burckhardt who worked regularly with artist Joseph Cornell during the 1950s. Our 1960s selection is Joyce Wieland’s and Michael Snow’s formalist vision of dripping water in a bowl – pure, liquid, kinetic sculpture in exquisite black and white. Next we will witness a grid-like flicker film hurled onto the screen by Beverly and Tony Conrad in 1970. By 1984 the avant-garde was into body art and filmmaker Tom Chomont photographed his brother Ken shaving — from the top of his head all the way down. Bradley Eros’ and Jeanne Liotta’s 1992 movie pushes our awareness of the body even further, into a dream-like reverie on cinema. And Stan Brakhage created one of his only film collaborations with Mary Beth Reed in 2001, revealing to the world his delicate process of painting on film. We will finish this evening with the premiere of a Wild West conceptual art video by the Zaqistan Arts Council (Sofia Gallisá, Zaq Landsberg, Scott Riehs, and Jeff Sisson).
Aviary, The/Nymphlight, A Fable For Fountains by Rudolph Burckhardt and Joseph Cornell
USA, 1957 – 1970, 19 minutes, 16mm
According to P. Adams Sitney, “Rudy Burckhardt photographed ‘The Aviary’ (1955), an impression of New York’s Union Square, under Joseph Cornell’s direction. This location held a particular fascination for Cornell who wanted to establish a foundation for artists and art therapy there. In the film he treats the park as an outdoor aviary.” In ‘Nymphlight’ (1957) Burkhardt and Cornell filmed a 12-year-old ballet student in Bryant Park behind the New York Public Library. In ‘A Fable for Fountains’ (1957-70) Cornell met a young actress when she played a boy in an off-off-Broadway production. He remarked at her resemblance to a figure in one of his boxes and later persuaded her to appear in this film, this time shot by Burckhardt in Little Italy.
Dripping Water by Joyce Wieland and Michael Snow
USA/Canada, 1969, 11 minutes, 16mm
“Snow and Wieland’s film uplifts the object, and leaves the viewer with a finer attitude toward the world around him, it opens his eyes to the phenomenal world. and how can you love people if you don’t love water, stone, grass.” -Jonas Mekas, New York Times, August 1969
Straight and Narrow by Beverly Conrad and Tony Conrad
USA, 1970, 10 minutes, 16mm
Straight And Narrow uses the flicker phenomenon, not as an end in itself, but as an effectuator of other related phenomena. Also, by using images which alternate in a vibrating flickering schedule, a new impression of motion and texture is created.
Razor Head by Tom Chomont with Ken Chomont
USA, 1984, 4 minutes, 16mm
One brother shaves another in this highly charged erotic performance.
Dervish Machine by Bradley Eros and Jeanne Liotta
USA, 1992, 10 minutes, 16mm
Hand-developed meditations on being and movement, as inspired by Brian Gysin’s Dreammachine, Sufi mysticism, and early cinema. A knowledge of the fragility of existence mirrors the tenuousness of the material.
Garden Path by Mary Beth Reed and Stan Brakhage
USA, 2001, 7 minutes, 16mm
The film reveals The creative process of hand painted film visionary, Stan Brakhage. whose painted images leap out of black and white footage of the artist at work.
Defiance: Zaqistan at 5 years by Sofia Gallisá, Zaq Landsberg, Scott Riehs, and Jeff Sissonat
USA, 2010, 6 minutes, digital projection
This collaborative video documents the sixth expedition to Zaqistan, a breakaway republic founded from two acres of remote Utah desert purchased off of Ebay and declared independent from the United States in 2005.
Lynne Sachs makes films, videos, installations and web projects that explore the intricate relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences by weaving together poetry, collage, painting, politics and layered sound design. Since 1994, her five essay films have taken her to Vietnam, Bosnia, Israel and Germany — sites affected by international war–where she tries to work in the space between a community’s collective memory and her own subjective perceptions. Strongly committed to a dialogue between cinematic theory and practice, Lynne searches for a rigorous play between image and sound, pushing the visual and aural textures in her work with each and every new project. Since 2006, she has collaborated with her partner Mark Street in a series of playful, mixed-media performance collaborations they call The XY Chromosome Project. In addition to her work with the moving image, Lynne co-edited the 2009 Millennium Film Journal issue on “Experiments in Documentary”. Supported by fellowships from the Rockefeller and Jerome Foundations and the New York State Council on the Arts, Lynne’s films have screened at the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival and recently in a five film survey at the Buenos Aires Film Festival. In 2010, the San Francisco Cinematheque will present a full retrospective of her work. Lynne teaches experimental film and video at New York University and lives in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn-based design studio Young Projects was selected as the winner of the 2014 Times Square Alliance Valentine Heart Design competition. “Match-Maker” cosmically connects people through zodiac signs at twelve viewing points around the heart shaped sculpture. Peering through the colorful intertwined periscopes provides glimpses of each viewer’s four most ideal astrological mates. The form of the sculpture is complex, symmetrical and changes as viewers experience it from different vantage points. From many angles, the installation looks like a perfect heart form, but from other perspectives, the sculpture is tangled and multifaceted. Kammetal oversaw the construction of the installation.
Since “Match-Maker’s” month long debut in Times Square, the sculpture has been relocated to the DUMBO Archway in Brooklyn for two months. Young Projects, the DUMBO Improvement District and the DOT Art Program are happy to “cosmically connect” New Yorkers and visitors in another part of the City.
