The ideas that have grabbed our attention today

if you’re around this weekend, check out the show from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). Lots of bleeding edge ideas about, well…interactive technology.

Extra bonus: you can see Danny Rosen’s “Wooden Mirror” in the upstairs lobby, one of the coolest high/low tech interactive sculptures I’ve ever seen:

Launching November 21 at 11:59pm, the Gaga Workshop will include everything from digital unicorn window displays to sculptures that are either representative or inspired by her, designed by artist Eli Sudbrack, to 170 products, which include but are definitely not limited to chocolate “Poker Face” chips.

The best part? Barneys will be taking the opportunity to donate 25% of all proceeds from the workshop to Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.

Comprising a series of multifaceted and interactive sensory experiences that go beyond just the act and perception of sniffing perfume, the Sensorium is the world’s first scent museum of its kind. In addition to a momentary stop in a scent-deprivation chamber and a fragrance “flight bar,” visitors also pass through “First Scent,” an audio-visual set-up that coordinates with custom fragrances redolent of early-morning breakfasts, salty beach air and freshly-cut blades of grass—scents that are distinct and recognizable on their own, but often fraught with one’s associations to specific moments and memories.”

This year is the 15^th anniversary of the A.G.A.S.T. Open Studio tour, and I’ve had the pleasure of helping to organize it and keep it going. I will be opening up my doors and showing some new work on Saturday and Sunday, October 15^th and 16^th from 12-6pm both days. My studio is located at 94 9^th Street in Brooklyn, between 2^nd avenue and Smith Street, 4^th floor, #22.

There’s 131 other artists in the neighborhood participating as well, and you can preview most of the artists and get all the information here. You can check my work out here.
