Color Eyes: Come to your Senses! Franklin

I was asked by Dick Nelson to summarize my experience of his most recent class. At the same time, Franklin asked me to Come to my Senses!

Following other presentations on the senses, I shared revelations on the interaction of color that I learned in Nelson's class and explained some of them using biological insights from Margaret Livingstone in her book "Vision and Art: Biology of Seeing".

Smart People, Motivation, Inspiration... TED

I've been to this site a few times in the last year. I've always thought of Tony Robbins as the sort of annoying guy in late night infomercials. I now realize my impression is far out of date.

Original Black Box (2003)

This is the original version of the Black Box that Hope Pritikin and I made 4 years ago and brought to Burning Man and played on the playa. It's about race relations in the United States and begins with the question, "Why aren't that many African Americans at Burning Man". The quality is a bit rough and we would make numerous changes if we were to re-edit, and we actually are re-editing. I am posting it here in it's original entirety.

The Poet and The Painter

Poetry Painting, the movie that Jamey Austin and I made in 2003 is now online. Search video.google.com for "poet painter".

At left is the piece from session six. The only one that he and I actually both went hands on with a painting. Note our signatures in the bottom left.

(BTW, I never put any words in his poetry. Though I did catch some great shots of his mad skills at writing straight without stopping).
