The Mirrorbox: The Story of How Art Became Science: Megan Daalder at TED...


I love the idea of mediated empathy.  This is a machine that can bring people together.  A great idea in an age of machines pushing people apart.
As a bonus, Megan was once in my backyard before I knew about any of this.

a metaphor for social connection.

Warpaint - 'Set Your Arms Down' and Billie Holiday

set your arms down


glastonbury //
Warpaint are a stunning display of female musicianship.  Amazing talent all around as any instrument can take control of the lead. They really hit a stride with Stella on drums. Of course, on this video, as I watch it, Stella is playing guitar. They can switch off instruments and Theresa can take lead vocals and guitars. This is a live cut and I love it because I love the band. Despite any valid commentary about hipsters and Native American cultural appropriation. I'll put a link to rough trade sessions video of their ep hit Billie Holiday below. Billie Holiday with the correct positions

Realizing that a young and gifted artist has no worse enemy than excessive technical skill, Dufy decided to paint with his left hand.

Realizing that a young and gifted artist has no worse enemy than excessive technical skill, Dufy decided to paint with his left hand. Not that he made a system out of this symbolic gesture--for systems are also an easy way out--but he realized that charm, skill, facility in resolving all technical problems, and even infallible taste all have their dangers. A great artist must be at the same time the best armed and the least armed of men.
From the introduction to Raoul Dufy by Claude Roger-Marx, as translated from the French by F.A. Mc Farland. This is the best opening to a book I've encountered in a long time.
