Fascinating Friday Films: 3D-printing showcase!

by Vicky Knox

So today I was watching a video of a 3D-printed autonomous moving object made by Theo Jansen <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQICYjDdURg> < http://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/822-theo-jansens-3d-printed-strandbe…> and thought it would be amazing to showcase a series of videos for FFF on 3D-modeling/printing! I also have a number of cool images I've taken at hackerspaces that I could throw into the mix. QUESTION: Does anyone have any resources/leads they'd like to contribute? Please reply OR add to the FFF wiki page here: < https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Fabulous_Friday_Films#3D_Printing_Film_Showc… > PS: Check out our film line-up! Add to the list!

why I quit the meeting (twice)

by Naomi Most

So. I am totally with the idea of distributing the know-how of facilitation. But the proposed plan of there being a meta-facilitator guiding the facilitators of each section didn't come to pass, and the meeting was drawn out by dint there not being expected limits on discussion topics. Good moderators in general set expectations for a discussion by declaring how many minutes should be spent on it, and by qualifying what counts as "in scope" for the meeting and what should be moved to another time. Tonight there were lots of topics on the meeting agenda, but that wasn't what drew it out to 10:15pm. What drew it out was the combination of: * lack of time limits on discussions * lack of sense of scope on discussions * unwillingness to create "pointers" to extra-meeting discussions, email, etc. You have to do these things, and you can't guilt people into attendance when they tune out and attend to other things because they have no sense of the progression of things. And I'm going to restate a previous point I've made about bureaucracy. There's this tendency to privilege the discussion of rules/regulations/policies above everything else when it comes to general meetings. When I say "privilege" I mean "give more time and leeway to". You have to resist this urge. Discussion of policy isn't fundamentally any more important than discussion of culture, or events, or fiscal solvency, etc. It's all *equally important*... by which I mean like Five Minutes important. Because if you multiply out all the subpoints in each section of any given agenda by 5 minutes, you easily get an hour or more. --Naomi -- Naomi Theora Most naomi(a)nthmost.com +1-415-728-7490 skype: nthmost http://twitter.com/nthmost

Fwd: Your Invitation to SubZERO Festival 2013

by Romy Ilano

Hey everyone--have any of you heard of the San Jose SubZero festival? It's Friday, June 7th and celebrates the underground. think mexigoths, fire sculptures, rockabilly bands and skaters and street art! Yes--I know it's weird.. it's San Jose! we all have a lot of ideas about San Jose. I was there for about two years and the people running the subzero are very legit. Despite the high rents, fairly cookie cutter atmosphere cherri + brian from anno domini have been keeping the underground alive... they also run the $5 for art tuesdays and support low cost local events by local artists down there. *cherri isn't making money off this--none of her crew is. they break even every year... * * * *if anyone is interested in carpoling with me down to san jose to have a table or do some crazy art projection experiment, let me know. I'll be chatting with people about this.* *san jose is highly suburban and has especially high rent prices,some parts worse than san francisco. the arts have a tough ttime down there, despite a nice downtown layout and a university.* * * *subzero festival makes things easier... they were asking if we wanted to do a game/play/experiemnt.* * * *it's in june... so would love to get in conversation with folks about this now!* *SubZERO Festival: *First Friday June 7th., 6pm-midnight ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Romy Mimi Ilano <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 2:34 PM Subject: Fwd: Your Invitation to SubZERO Festival 2013 To: Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cherri Lakey <cherri(a)galleryad.com> Date: Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 5:21 PM Subject: Your Invitation to SubZERO Festival 2013 To: Cherri Lakey <cherri(a)galleryad.com> photo: Ramberto Cumagun Hi! It's time for our annual convergence of all you *Progenitors of Culture* ! It's been a very tough year for everyone, and yet, here we all still are....we have not wavered in our determination to be who we are, to live the life we dream of and build the city we want to live in. The 6th Annual SubZERO Festival is one of the most amazing celebrations of the indie, DIY, subculture and counter culture experiences and it's because of YOU and we want you back this year! Your participation shows you don't just "do" art, but you ARE an artist and you're in it for a long term life and career. We have had many success stories result from the festival - we've had participants use the momentum of the fan base they've cultivated from SubZERO to launch their own brick & mortar store fronts of their own, works of art are in homes of collectors and artists have been invited into other active collectives, indie entrepreneurs have had their product picked up by big retail brands and the festival has served as a catalyst for artists to receive national/international inquiries to show and perform. And don't underestimate that the crowd will be "the same" - San Jose is notorious for new surges of residents from all over the world to work in the tech industry we're known for (and seems to be flourishing once again) and these new comers experience the perception that we're a cultural wasteland....NOT TRUE and this festival changes those perceptions immediately but we can only change those perceptions if you're out there to show them! That's what we do....we create and inspire and thrive. And we do it * TOGETHER.* ----------------------------------------- 2013 SubZERO Festival Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's our annual gathering of the Progenitors of Culture otherwise known as the Sixth Annual *SubZERO Festival*! Focused on emerging and present subcultures thriving in our region, SubZERO is a DIY, artistically bent, hi/lo-techno mashup where street meets geek. You're receiving this first round of invitations because we are grateful to you for your past participation. You've helped build the festival into a highly anticipated celebration of subculture artists, performers & creative indie businesses. You've been here all day, every day, all year long doing what you know to be the most challenging thing in your life but you do it with determination and uncompromising values. This is the night we get to share that work and know that there are others that appreciate it, get inspired by it and want to connect with it. You push the arts, culture and humanity forward, and so "thank you!" in advance for not just this one event, but for all that you do always. Like last year, this festival is DIY....We all bring it to make it happen. Vendor spaces will be the standard 10' x 10'. You'll need to bring everything you'll need to exhibit, display, perform and/or sell your work. We highly encourage live painting, demos and /or participatory activities with your audience. (please let us know what you have in mind if it involves sound or roving performances, etc.) -Ellectricity (via generators) will be provided. - One artist / entity per booth -Additional space discounts available. Last year our attendance was about 14,000 people. We expect at least the same, if not more, again this year. Although city fees and festival costs have risen, we are offering you the same rates as last year if you *SIGN UP BY APRIL 30th.* DATES: *SubZERO Festival: *First Friday June 7th., 6pm-midnight *STREET MRKTs:* First Friday Aug. 2nd, 7pm-11pm First Friday Sept. 6th, 7pm-11pm *2013 Vendor fees for returning artists /vendors from last year* (please note that this is rate is just for past participants and only good thru April 30th, so please let us know as soon as possible) * * *SubZERO Only* (June 7th)- $165. *Street Mrkts *(Aug 3, Sept 7)- $65. / each Mrkt (this is a smaller, more intimate urban faire held outside of Anno Domini Gallery in conjunction with the Aug & Sept art walk so artists have direct access to the art walk audience.) Street Mrkt space is limited so if you're interested in these, we encourage you to sign up for the 3 Pkg Deal below. *3 Pkg Deal* - $245. for all 3 events (SubZERO June + Street Mrkts in Aug & Sept) *Art / Performance / Demo only space at SubZERO* (NO selling) - $75.
