think/feel hosts a screening

In honor of my friends over at Remedee, think/feel is hosting our very first event. We want to share with you a special advanced screening of Remedee's pilot program, Reel Lives, which consists of five powerful documentary films made by teenagers from a gang-infested neighborhood in Los Angeles. Here's the trailer:



If you're interested in any aspect of youth empowerment through storytelling and film, you'll want to see this. It has been amazing what Remedee has been able to accomplish from the ground-up in just a year. Please feel free to pass this wide and far to those who are in the area and may be interested, but note that space is limited and a seat at the screening will require a RSVP. We hope to see you there! Here's the info:

ITP goes to MoMA

Starting tomorrow, a new exhibition at MoMA entitled Design and the Elastic Mind will feature a bunch of works that explore the intersection of science and design. Five of these projects belong to ITP alumni, two of which belong to my class of 2007. I'm so proud!

My (slightly biased) favorite is Demetrie's Hypothetical Drawings About the End of the World, which I have witnessed him develop since 2005. The results are 72" x 22" giclee social landscape prints, the content generated by the very particular parsing of Internet searches. Really, these images do not do the drawings justice; you have until May 12 to see them in person.

Playing hooky

Creepy weather for being almost November, but who's complaining? A couple photos of not-doing-work yesterday at Riverside Park by Iluminación luiseño.

The woman in a polka-dotted dress...

...is Andrea making out with Sam in the brand spankin' new New Pornographer's music video featuring Neko Case. The video premiered today on MTV2's Subterranean Blog and was mentioned in Pitchfok's Forkcast as well.

Congratualations to Courtier for being photogenic, good kissers (I presume) AND being kind to animals (they take care of our cat while we're on vacation).

Another Andrea & Sam moment featuring polka-dots if you can't get enough: she wears polka dots and plays the accordeon by Sasha.

This is the house that Will built

I know a lot of architects for not actually being an architect myself. Here are the fruits of my friend Will's labors. Will is the only architect I know who is self-employed, so his first completed boutique design project in downtown San Jose is very exciting. If you ever need anything designed and built, you can e-mail him - willpowe12@gmail.com. (Happy Birthday, Will!)
