ICA vision machine
The café opens to a terrace with view to the sea… And that appeals to us Euros :) How come the city neglected its harbor for so long? With the Institute of Contempory Art (yesterday was the opening day), the architects Diller + Scofidio propel Boston to its new age. Like a vision machine, the architecture frames the harbor and finally gives it a raison d’être.** The architects are among my favorite… for that they have questioned boundaries, travel, globalization… all of these themes that inform my neo-nomad inquiries! They are the architects of the Blur building and the permanent installation of the Moscone Convention Center… to follow!
** not taking into account global warming and the rise of sea level…

Dove Self Esteem Fund’s campaign for real beauty feeds the reflection on cyborgs. Thank you Cati for the info!

electronic bodies
An article in lemonde.fr: La danse s’offre l’univers des nouvelles technologies by Rosita Boisseau LE MONDE | 08.12.06 | 15h25 makes me think of another relationship between the digital and the body… a link to remember as I dwell in cyborgs’ stories:

my body is a hypertext
To follow up with the my body is a hypertext, find an example of permanent shotcode tattoo (Thanks D.H.). Melissa says: ” it did scan on Friday, with some patience and careful positioning of my head! It didn’t point to exactly the right url (something about Sprite, in Spanish..).”
I guess I like the (nomadic) idea of being able to take it away, hence the laser temporary tattoo paper I use for my tattoo (and it leads to interesting ‘happenings’ such as ‘exchange my tattoo,’ ‘wear my tattoo, I wear yours…’ :)
