Boston Dynamics Big Dog (new video March 2008)

Technology: This is an amazing video, kind of creepy but worth watching. It's awesome how we can make something this sensitive and sophisticated.

Hilarious: NOW: you MUST see this video. I nearly fell off my chair laughing and crying...and then I sent these videos around my work- just had to share it.

Fusion Fashion Show, Cai Guo Qiang

• Fashion/Show: Fusion Fashion Show: Had the wonderful opportunity to have seat tickets to the Fusion Fashion Show last Saturday: "Fusion Fashion Show, an established event since 2000, brings together the two best fashion schools in the nation: Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons The New School for Design. It combines the innovative creativity of young designers with the stellar talent of up-and-coming models, running on the devotion and generosity of volunteers and fans, climaxing in a groundbreaking display of style and artistic expression." Amazing and beautiful...I see so much potential in the show/event itself. A possible collaboration between Momentum and Fusion?

• Contemporary Art: Cai Guo Qiang: "Opening February 22, 2008, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will present the most comprehensive survey to date of the innovative body of work of Cai Guo-Qiang (pronounced tsai gwo chang). This forthcoming exhibition, Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want to Believe is organized by the Guggenheim and represents the museum’s first solo show devoted to a Chinese-born artist. Designed as a spectacular site-specific installation within the museum’s galleries, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Rotunda, the exhibition will present a chronological and thematic survey that charts the artist’s creation of a distinctive visual and conceptual language across four mediums: gunpowder drawings; site-specific explosion events; large-scale installations; and social projects. Featuring over 80 works from the 1980s to the present—selected from major public and private collections in the U.S., Europe, and Asia—the exhibition will illuminate Cai’s significant formal and conceptual contributions to contemporary international art practices and social activism."
