You can’t Unsee it! at the SF Moma
During our “Where is the Math and Science in Art?” museum walk someone pointed out that the Calder mobile is on the cover of MIT’s Introduction to Algorithms! Once you see it you can’t unsee it! This event has been so successful that we are planning a third round at the Oakland Museum on October 6, Sunday afternoon.

Can you tell us about any Open-Source Embroidery Software you know?
We were shocked to discover that it’s “normal” for people to pay $100 a month for proprietary embroidery machine software. Send us any information you know, so far we have heart that InkStich is good!
Invisible Technologies
“The best technologies are often the invisible ones-where people have figured out how to avoid problems rather than to solve them.
“Often all that is required is a perceptual change such as seeing grasshoppers as an airborne mobile protein harvesting and conversion unit-a food source-rather than a destructive pest. Or living near where we work rather than building better transportation technologies. Or eating lower on the food chain so you don’t have to pay for or grow food for the conversion losses of meat animals. Or planting trees rather than air conditioners. The second-best technologies are also invisible. They’re based on people’s skills and relationships rather than machines…”
Coffee & Algorithms Thursday Morning
Our space is now alive Thursday mornings! Join us for coffee and whiteboarding, and doing our part to make algorithms less of a. dehumanizing, corporate hazing ritual and more a beautiful way of understanding the world around us. They can even be art!
