Featured Presenter: Scott Kildall

Kildall showed us his latest project “afterthought”, which I believe he is working on as one of Eyebeam’s resident artists. He shows a series of images to a willing subject, who is wearing a device to measure brain activity.

Featured presenter: Nina Paley

Nina spoke to us in December on her views on copyright and distribution.  I think she wrote this post after our event, spurred on by a question someone asked at the salon, which she undoubtedly gets all the time: What’s Stopping You? Nina’s perspective on freeing up her copyright by […]
