¡Ya llega el otoño !!! Para celebrar, los miembros aprendieron a crear superficies 'organicas', mezclando pinturas parcialmente. Fantástico para crear hojas multi-color.

Lesson 3- Translation:
(links: lesson, quiz)
This is the 3rd lesson of the term, introducing a new important concept in 'technology art': 'translation'. As opposed to 'transfer', where the artistic and technological focus is on the physical translation of images, 'transfer' concerns itself with conceptual ('instructional') translations. For this, the ideal focus is the 'instruction' concept of programming, which, over several lessons, will highlight a range of activities, from programming of graphics software and robots, to various methods of 'communicating' with robots in the physical world. Today we begin with the students leading a 'Scribbler Robot' to design an image of a 'family tree'.

Lección 1- Introducción:
(ligas: lección, examen)
Disculpen que esta lección esté fuera de orden, pero hemos estado inventando todo, en estos primeros meses. En este primer taller presentamos los conceptos de 'tecnología ubicua' y 'arte tecnológico', resaltando la importancia de los siguientes aspectos: la comunidad de Eden Gardens, conocimientos sobre electricidad, microprocesadores, y arte contemporáneo.

Lesson 2- Transfer:
(links: lesson, quiz)
On this 'ubiquitous' workshop we started to make 'technology art' by applying the concept of TRANSFERENCE, while reviewing the importance of 'family trees' in the community of Eden Gardens. Here you see one family tree, going through the process of invention, duo-toning, silk-screening, and re-application:

¡Este dibujo está muy padre! Miren cómo el edificio de 'perros-policía' queda completamente pintado por 'huellas de perro' (y hasta la puerta parece 'mini', para visitantes caninos).

Check out these pumpkins. Using clothes-dryer flexi-tubing and a little paint and creativity, the result is a very contemporary-looking art piece.

Here are some images from the first week of art classes. Lauren (art instructor extraordinaire) is drawing some sweet templates for the members to color in... Halloween ghosts and spiders, of course, now that we are into October:

Here are some images of the Learning Center space we will be using during the academic year. We have use of a nice room (with new computers!), and terrace area, and there is also a huge field out there (oh, right, that's the park):
