MFA DT Symposium [Day 1]

Today was the first day of the MFA DT Symposium.  The event started with a Keynote by Régine Debatty, where she talked about herself, her work, how her interest in New Media Art started and the works she admires.

I also presented my project Tikos. It got great feedback and people really liked the soft conductive materials (velcro, fabric & thread) on the toys.
My nephew claimed “his toys” on the way out of the presentation.

CÓMO NEGOCIAR UNA LICENCIA CREATIVE COMMONS: DIEZ PASOS

by Michael Mandiberg [link]

translated by Jennifer Dopazo.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

xtine burrough y yo publicamos Fundamentos Digitales: una Introducción al diseño de medios con Adobe Creative Suite con AIGA Desgin Press/New Riders bajo una licencia CC (la primera para la editorial/editor).  El libro enseña los principios formales y ejercicios de la Bauhaus a través de lecciones en Adobe Creative Suite.  Existen varias razones por las cuales escribimos este libro, sin embargo, este artículo está enfocado en el proceso de negociación de la licencia de Creative Commons de New Riders, propiedad de Peachpit, propiedad a su vez de Pearson (una corporación muy grande e importante).

Bchito


Photobucket

Do you keep forgetting things everytime you change your purse?

Now there’s an easy way to remember everything you need to bring with you. It’s called Bchito.

Bchito is small and can be used with any purse.  It’s also available in different presentations to combine it with your outfit…and you’ll remember everything!
It will help you remind the basics you need to bring with you on certain moments; work, an interview, a date, a gathering with friends, grocery shopping….

But wait!  There’s more.  Bchito is also handy outside of your purse in those moments when you can’t find what your looking for.  Just place it outside of your purse and it will help you identify the items you need and seems impossible to find in your home.
