Been very active on the SYS facebook
Hi See Yourself Sensing friends,
Come and visit my SYS facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/See-Yourself-Sensing/184369981612805
I'm using it as a research site, posting things like Jaime Pitarch's Chernobyl - a toy that speaks of sensory conditions as much as any interactive work.

Some fun stuff about sound
Here's my new post on Huffington:

The videos are all incredible. Now I can't stop saying "Ba-rom-e-ter, ba-rom-e-ter." You'll see. The video about the Northern Lights makes me feel like I'm camping.
Hope you'll follow my posts.

SYS in Science Times China
Science Times China wrote did an interview about See Yourself Sensing. Here's the cover page, a still from a really strange and beautiful video by Hillerbrand and Magsamen. Do you see any of your kids' toys in that giant pile of plastic. I chuckled when China, capital of plastic, chose this for the cover of the article. Having trouble keeping up w/ Huffington Post posts, facebook, blogger and tumblr. Stay tuned for new Huffington Post article - interesting one on sound.

Huffington Post number 2
Harness Up That Snail and Let's Make Energy: It's Time to Feed the Table
Here's my new post for Huffington. I saw Auger and Loizeau's incredible fly and mice eating robots in London while I was working on See Yourself Sensing. I thought that they were brilliant, but I couldn't see them as immediately relating to the body and the senses. Auger and Loizeau produce some of the most intelligent work around. Pictured here is their Flypaper Robotic Clock, a self-sustaining robot. That fly is about to get scraped into the microbial fuel cell. And they call Damien Hurst's piece at the Tate Modern a "cycle"? His cow head, flies and zapper produce a rotting waste of biomass. According to Bristol Robotics, 8 dead flies powers a microbial fuel cell for 12 days

I'm blogging for Huffington Post, science section
It all happened very quickly. Met with David Freeman and Neil Katz of HP last friday and the post is up already. I'm going to write about crazy people and projects I love. The most time consuming thing: figuring out how to post to Facebook, Tumblr and Blogger... and parenting.
Here's the article:
Put on a Happy Face (Or If You Can't, Use Electricity)

Images below: left is from Duchenne de Boulogne's monograph Mécanisme de la Physionomie Humaine. This is the toothless old man I wrote about. He's being exposed to electrical stimulation to the face to reveal a particular nerve / muscle combination for a particular human emotion.

My MIT lecture + book offer and review in Yale Constructs
Here's a link to my lecture at MIT's Design and Computation group:
http://cronpodcast.mit.edu:8171/podcastproducer/attachments/02DCB521-2BB9-40D2-9F5F-ED03D0EB06B4/61234336-B125-4689-91D9-98201E686774.m4v
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.
Black Dog Publishing has asked me to repost their blog reader discount. Feel free to repost or tell a friend:

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.
