INNOVATIONS IN INTERACTIVITY: WHERE TECHNOLOGY & PLACEMAKING INTERSECT

The demand for interactivity has reshaped every aspect of our culture. No longer content to simply observe and absorb, we expect to shape our environment and personalize our experience. Held at San Francisco’s beautiful new McLoughlin Gallery, this salon will explore how cities, neighborhoods and cultural organizations are using interactive media to engage people in public spaces and create a sense of place. Join our eclectic panel as they show innovations from around the globe and hypothesize where this trend is going. Debate encouraged!

BeLoose Graphic Workshop - Tuesday, November 2, 2010 2-5pm in Room 124

Architect and illustrator Mike Lin of the BeLoose Graphic Workshop will give a free workshop next Tuesday, Nov. 2 from 2 to 5pm in room 124. We already have two classes (40-50 people) scheduled to attend but I told all the students in my other classes as well. In case of a large group, I will be setting up a second screen in the back of 124, where the renovation for the new undergraduate studio is almost complete. It's possible that students in classes scheduled that afternoon might ask you to let them attend the workshop. If you don't have critiques or major deadlines scheduled for that day, please consider excusing them if they ask to attend. Mike Lin is unique and does amazing drawing demonstrations.

Students who sign up on the free website beloose.com and also attend the workshop will be entered in a raffle for free drawing supplies. If attending, students should bring a small drawing pad (8.5x11) and a set of colored pencils.
