Art is a journey of self-expression, a path to self-understanding, and a source of healing and catharsis.Through art, we can explore the full spectrum of human emotion from joy and love to sadness and grief, from hope and inspiration to fear and despair...

For anyone considering a motion-based installation there is a VITAL lesson "hidden" in this video. The reason this #activation works so well has little to do with the actual programming. The secret is the circles on light on the floor telling people where to stand. As long as one person stands on each circle this activation will sing. The minute three or four people crowd around, or the two people wander from their circles it all starts to fall apart. So often, the success or failure of an interactive activation has less to do with the technology than the environment in which the it is activated. #experientialdesign #interactive

AN AMAZING VIDEO ABOUT ART CONSERVATION, the career that I chose in the 1980s for the reasons shown and explained in the video (never have I regretted that choice). It illustrates why conservators can be valuable resources in studies of age, attribution, and authenticity, because they spend years studying the chemistry, degradation, and preservation of cultural property - and - years looking very closely at objects. But - and this is important - do not expect most conservators to say whether an object is authentic or inauthentic, misattributed or correctly attributed, old or period, because codes of ethics and guidelines for practice for conservators require a sound basis for such opinions (not mere speculation), and offering such opinions can open them to liability. Rather, listen closely for what conservators say or don’t say about authenticity, attribution, and age; for example, “wouldn’t it be interesting to have this object examined in a laboratory” or “You might ask [so and so] to look at this.” That might be what they are able to say, that you should hear. Hope this helps.

How to move big stuff... carefully.
