Look for the good news!

Erika Iris Simmons

“The Ghost in the Machine” series was inspired by some strange ideas. How at one level we are cellular beings and another we are a single “self.” The single cassette tape I thought of as representing the mind. The tape ribbon represents our thoughts, the data within. Taking that data – those bits of memory – and rearranging them to form what we see as a face is my way of finding a “ghost in the machine.” I also liked the fact that when you look at a portrait like Jimi Hendrix out of a cassette tape, you can almost hear the music in your head – so your own “data” is responding to what you see.

MIT Media Lab Logo

The MIT Media Lab has an engaging new logo—its first real logo ever—created by E Roon Kang and Richard The. Their design uses three intersecting shapes/spotlights that, thanks to an algorithm, can be reorganized into 40,000 versions in 12 color combinations. Those involved with Media Lab can literally select their own version and it will be theirs alone.

Uniting people with a global art project

JR, the French street artist, is launching a global art project, Inside Out, which aims to bring communities together. JR made the announcement yesterday in a presentation at TED, which has which awarded him the TED 2011 prize for the project.

JR and TED worked with Huge, which designed the website for the project. This allows participants to upload their own picture to the site in the style of JR, submit their own personal statement, and order a black & white poster to wheatpaste or hang in their communities.

They can then take a picture of the poster 'in the wild', and upload it back to the site, where visitors will be able to see where posters are around the world.
