My MIT lecture + book offer and review in Yale Constructs

Here's a link to my lecture at MIT's Design and Computation group:

I'm starting to put back into the talk many of the images that couldn't fit into the book or were cut. In the process I'm imagining a whole new book and arrangement. My argument is that the senses are unreliable and don't work the way we think they do. It makes sense, then, that I would keep imagining a different book.

Heading up to Boston area on Thursday for the MIT lecture. Very happy about this, since various characters in the book are MIT people: Mark Goulthorpe, Michael Rakowitz, Steve Mann and more. Anyone in the area, come say hello.

My plane hits a bus on the way to book talk



This happened in Detroit on the way to Erie, PA. My plane's wing tipped over the bus. No one was hurt. The best kind of plane crash. Had a fun time at Edinboro University, where Kim Todd (Chrysalis: Maria Sibylla Merian and the Secrets of Metamorphosis ) and I gave lectures at event organized by artist Lisa Austin. On to MIT March 16th.
