*** October 22, 2007 presentations:


* Eric Celarier (http://alternativeevolution.com/)

Eric Celarier creates sculpture and drawings that juxtapose artificially
and naturally occurring media to portray organic forms that have never
been, but, in a metaphorical way, could be, if the circumstances were
favorable. His works depict biological evolution as mediated through
human experience.


* Tom Greaves: Compliment Machine (http://tinyurl.com/yw8ckh)

Tom Greaves will discuss and demo his machine which delivered
compliments to passers-by on 14th St. between P&V Sts. as a project for
WPA\C's recent SiteProjects DC.


* Alberto Gaitán: Remembrancer (Part 1 of 2: The Hardware) 
(http://selforganizingsystem.org/)

Alberto Gaitán is a composer/programmer/artist who creates a wide range
of multimedia artwork. He will talk about his new media piece,
"Remembrancer," which deals with transformation, memory, and the
spacial, temporal and cultural resonance of events through automated
(via MaxMSP and the Make Controller) robotic painters responding to news
data flowing in over the Internet.
