CB COMPUTATIONAL PLOTTER ART

1/21/2022

Q: What happens when an artist and a mathematician (turned computer scientist) combine their skills? Answer: Innovation.
​CONCLUSION:
Visit: GRASS; Series II by Colette and Charles J. Bangert: LINK
As the so-called “renaissance” of computer art began in the 1970s, artists and critics became more optimistic about the medium and its ability to unite scientific and cultural learning in order to break out of a normative paradigm; the Bangerts were a part of this movement, and the couple saw the computer as ushering in a new “visual age”. Computers could help by offering new ideas and enriching artistic practice; using a computer and plotter could extend the artist’s physical body to enable production of new and interesting designs. At the same time, as Colette wrote, “without conscious understanding of what a drawing is we could not use the computer as a drawing medium…We ask this new medium questions and get new (and old) answers. But some of the answers were there from the beginning…” The Bangerts’ work thus explores the act of creation, regardless of medium, by utilizing the computer to push the boundaries of praxis."

POEM ATLAS

#poematlas #astrapapachristodoulou
What is there to say about Astra Papachristodoulou, that hasn't already been said? Just that she is also a lovely human being on top of being one of the most gifted artists ever. It's honestly challenging to say what her "latest" project is because there's never a pause... it just continues. She acknowledges some of the contributors of Poem Atlas in the UK/online gallery exhibitions. I am  listed and cannot explain what a privilege and honor it is to be included in any conversation regarding visual/object/experimental poetry, but especially alongside these immensely talented artists. Auditioning for Poem Atlas is available at the National Poetry Library catalogue and here: PURCHASE
CONCLUSION: 
If you need inspiration or haven't researched object poetry, please visit the website: POEM ATLAS

#recommendations
BZ to author Jerri Bell and Tracy Crow for a huge milestone. This timeline shows: a book written in 2015, published in 2017, discussed in 2018 and beyond. This book is an important historical artifact which needs a large audience. The process just needs some dedicated leadership and today it happened. In his recommended reading, sent out to Team Fort Lee, the CASCOM CG sent a list which includes: It's My Country Too: Women's Military Stories from the American Revolution to Afghanistan, Edited by Jerri Bell and Tracy Crow with Forward by Kayla WIlliams, published by Potomac Books, an Imprint of University of Nebraska Press. It's great to see book titles edited by women veterans and shared with military service personnel currently serving. Representation matters and I am so pleased this list exists.
CONCLUSION: 
Special Thanks to MG Mark Simerly, Commanding General of the Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), the Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCOE), and Fort Lee, VA. *More of this, please!

สวดมนต์ข้ามปี

1/1/2022

 
#Thai สวดมนต์ข้ามปี  
New Year's Eve traditions usually include merrymaking into the wee hours of the morning. This year, however, social-distancing restrictions and a new omicron variant meant we opted to listen and learn a new way to show appreciation to the blessings of a new year. My Mother-in-law spent hours chanting from approximately 8PM to well past midnight. To learn more, visit: "Suad mon kham pee" - Thailand’s Unique New Year’s Eve Celebration - Thailand Foundation 
​Conclusion:
​Here are some highlights from our visit to the Wat Thai in Los Angeles eating and giving blessings for the New Year and Year of the Tiger.
