Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age
Clay Shirky's talk about his book: Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age
In this video he mentions crisis mapping which I had only heard of, but sounds really revolutionary, more about that here. I don't know if this process, which started in 2007 in Kenya, has spread to Syria, Egypt, Libya, and all the other countries that could really benefit, but I hope it has. I also was really taken by Shirky's mention of lolcats, by saying that there were pornographic novels printed before scientific journals. We are just scratching the surface of the internet's potential, it makes sense that we see a rise in a lowest common denominator, like porn or lolcats, so it is really exciting to see tools like crisis mapping begin to emerge...

N SKY C
My perpetual wanderlust makes me constantly wonder what's happening in other cities around the world. Now, I can at least visualize the sky in New York while I'm stuck in the Midwest. N SKY C is a website that displays the average color of the NYC sky, updated every 5 minutes.
This reminds me of so many pieces by another New York-based artist, Spencer Finch.

10,000 year clock
Kevin Kelly, an amazing man and author of the incredible book, What Technology Wants, says about the project:
"Why would anyone build a Clock inside a mountain with the hope that it will ring for 10,000 years? Part of the answer: just so people will ask this question, and having asked it, prompt themselves to conjure with notions of generations and millennia. If you have a Clock ticking for 10,000 years what kinds of generational-scale questions and projects will it suggest? If a Clock can keep going for ten millennia, shouldn’t we make sure our civilization does as well? If the Clock keeps going after we are personally long dead, why not attempt other projects that require future generations to finish? The larger question is, as virologist Jonas Salk
once asked, “Are we being good ancestors?”

Kris Martin
100 Years, 2004. A metal sphere set to explode in a hundred years. Martin wanted to make a sculpture that would loose value after death. White Cube
Kris Martin also has another amazing performative sculpture, Vase, 2005, which for every show is broken and glued back together. reminds me of Jonathan Schipper's, To Dust.
