Good valuePosted May 24, 2013 on Hotels.com
Located near the outer ring boulevard, opposite to the exhibition grounds, it's not your common tourist hotspot. But the line 12 metro station Porte de Versailles is 150m apart, and so is the ring tramway that offers a convenient connection to the RER line B at Cité Universitaire, for both Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. And the no. 80 bus (Rue de Vaugirard) takes you directly to the Eiffel tower, Champs Elysées and Montmartre - a sightseeing tour for the price of a bus ticket. Rooms are small but clean and efficient. Friendly staff, good continental breakfast (including boiled eggs, ham, and cheese), excellent coffee. Seven cafes/restaurants just round the corner.

The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, the location great for exhibitions at Porte de Versailles. The breakfast was essential, the room was not huge, the only mirror in the bathroom. Overall rating: ok for business trips, maybe not so for romance in Paris.

Good valuePosted Feb 7, 2013
Pros: Price, location.
Cons: Bedding, lack of wifi in rooms.
Location: Close to the metro and tram.
The hotel is rather dated and the rooms are small even by European standards. Despite a dreadful first impression, our stay was comfortable and the price was really good. If you're expecting the Ritz DO NOT stay at this hotel. The worst part was the inability to access wifi in our room. Wifi was only accessible in the small lobby. Other than that and the crappy bedding, our stay was enjoyable and a real value.

WOONSOCKET – A local man has been arrested on federal charges of distributing fentanyl and street heroin laced with the synthetic painkiller, which has been linked to a dramatic spike in fatal overdoses.
Alfredo Balestier-Sanchez, 32, of 117 Earle St., was ordered detained Wednesday after an appearance before a federal magistrate in Providence. He was arrested Tuesday, when a month-long joint investigation by the Woonsocket Police Department and the Rhode Island Drug Enforcement Agency Task Force culminated in a search of Balestier-Sanchez's apartment, said Jim Martin, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Papers filed with the court say Balestier-Sanchez – known as "Negro" to his customers – sold fentanyl or a heroin/fentanyl blend to a police informant on three occasions between Feb. 12 and Feb. 20. Investigators also seized four packets of the drug when, armed with a warrant, they searched his apartment. The drugs were hidden in a canister of deodorant.
Full story appears on page A1 of Thursday's Call.

Upcoming Events
'Small Museum for the American Metaphor' at REDCAT
Ettore Sottsass, Hotel California (Superbox, 2003). | Photo courtesy Centro Studi Poltronova, Florence, Italy.
REDCAT: From September 27 to November 23, 2014, the Gallery at REDCAT will present Small Museum for the American Metaphor, an exhibition curated by Belgian architect Kersten Geers in collaboration with the Gallery at REDCAT Director Ruth Estevez.
Small Museum for the American Metaphor is an exhibition which brings together European perspectives on the American West, and more specifically, the particularities embedded in the idealized fictions surrounding it. The visual argument here is that there is a certain architectonic "idea" that dwells on the celebration of Endlessness as mythicized in the American West. The metaphor is the base for an architecture that blurs the distinction between building and object, collapsing the different scales. It is an architecture that celebrates the fiction of the "wide open" and seeks to re-evaluate/reinterpret the world as a gigantic interior. In that context, a successful intervention is able to define hierarchies, carve out places, and make shared points of reference. The exhibition, much in the tradition of showcasing objects in a defined space, such as a cabinet, "collects" artworks, architectural models, drawings and other elements that consciously fade the distinction between object and representation.
Ultimately it is a show on urban strategies, but starting from the conviction that these very strategies can only be conveyed if presented in an oblique way. The show proposes a method that understands beauty and hedonism not so much as the enemy of hierarchy and organization, but despite all senses of responsibility, its driving force.
The exhibition includes works from artists and designers such as John Baldessari, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys, Stefano Graziani, Rita McBride, Valérie Mannaerts, Jonathan Muecke, Jonathan Olivares, Manfred Pernice, Bas Princen, Ed Ruscha, Ettore Sottsass, Michaël Van den Abeele, Richard Venlet, Pieter Vermeersch, Peter Wächtler and Christopher Williams, as well as models of past and present architectures of the "big box."
Kersten Geers (b. 1975, Ghent) studied at the University of Ghent and at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Madrid, Spain. He worked in Rotterdam for Maxwan/Max.1 Architects until 2001 and from 2001 to 2005 for Neutelings Riedijk Architects. He was a tutor at the TU Delft, the University of Ghent and the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, and a guest lecturer and guest critic for the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam, and Columbia University in New York, among other institutions. He is founding member and editor of San Rocco magazine, and frequently publishes essays on architecture in a variety of magazines and books. In 2002 he founded Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen together with David Van Severen. In 2008 they were awarded with the Belgian Prize for Architecture and in 2010 with the Silver Lion at the 12th Venice Biennial of Architecture.

REDCAT: Benjamin Seror's improvised stories are inspired by phantoms of literature, art history and everyday adventures. Over three Tuesday evenings in the REDCAT Lounge, he develops and performs a new version of his latest project, The Marsyas Hour, an impromptu script for a TV pilot that recounts everyday life on Mount Olympus through the eyes of the young satyr Marsyas. Apollo defeated Marsyas in a flute contest, and had him tied to a tree to be flayed alive—but Marsyas survived the punishment and committed his life to defeating the gods.

Cup of Java: Gamelan Music & Dance from Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Aratani Theatre
Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC)
244 South San Pedro St., Los Angeles, CA 90012
Tickets: $25-$30
Central Java holds a place of great cultural significance in Indonesia (the 4th most populous country in the world). Cultivated for hundreds of years in the palace of the Sultans of Yogyakarta, the internal and external control of musicians and dancers introduce us to the world of court aesthetics. Javanese gamelan has been described by Andres Segovia as "the music of the spheres."
For this inaugural concert, 10 classical dancers from Central Java and 25 CalArts musicians present a program of complex polyrhythms played on stunning bronze instruments. Javanese dancers of grace and exquisite beauty fill the stage as every gesture and cadence is masterfully executed with precise intention and concentration.
This program will include a broad range of Javanese works from refined mask dancing, to a duel of elaborately adorned woman warriors, to a male quartet of dynamic strength and dignity — all to the dramatic soundscapes of the gamelan. The culmination of this diverse program is Karna's Choice — a story about the sorrows of war, the love of a mother, and the loyalty of brothers — as retold from the beloved Indian epic, the Mahabharata.
Synopsis: It is the eve of the epic 18-day battle of Kurukshetra. Karno is finishing his morning prayers by the Ganges. He is poised to join the Kaurava clan and battle the Pandava armies. Kunti approaches Karno and reveals her secret. She is his mother. She entreats Karno to refrain from fighting against his own brothers. Caught in the inevitable sorrow of war and love, Karno makes a choice.
- Dance Direction: Bambang Pudjasworo, Heni Winahyuningsih (ISI Yogyakarta)
- Music Direction: Anon Suneka (ISI Yogyakarta), Djoko Waluyo and Nyoman Wenten (CalArts)
- Pre-performance Conversation: Dr. I Wayan Dibia
Cup of Java is co-commissioned by California Institute of the Arts and the East West Center, University of Hawaii and supported by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Los Angeles. Made possible by a grant from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta.

David Rosenboom: 'Zones of Influence' at REDCAT
REDCAT/MUSIC: "David Rosenboom is one of America's most underappreciated composers." — Los Angeles Times
[William Winant is] "one of the best avant-garde percussionists working today" — Los Angeles Times
First written 30 years ago, David Rosenboom's Zones of Influence is a landmark concert-length work for percussion soloist, live computer-generated electronics, and auxiliary keyboard and glissando instruments. At the time a breakthrough in linking virtuoso electroacoustic performance with interactive compositional algorithms, Zones is now fully realized—thanks to new a software instrument called the Touché II that allows the dynamic dimensionality of the music to take full mind-bending, cosmological shape. Rosenboom wrote the five-part epic expressly for superstar percussionist William Winant, who returns to perform on five live-processed percussion setups. He is joined by the composer on the Touché II, piano and violin, while Jinku Kim provides an immersive video environment for the concert. Rosenboom, one of the foremost voices in American composition since the late 1960s, released new double-CD recording of Zones of Influence on the Pogus Productions label this summer.

Structuring Strategies Presents Tuni Chatterji
Tuni Chatterji will present her new short feature Okul Nodi and earlier work
CalArts, Bijou Auditorium
FILM/VIDEO: Okul Nodi (Endless River)
(2012, HD, color, sound, 52 min.)
Several years in the making, Okul Nodi (Endless River), is Tuni Chatterji's poetic exploration of Bhatiyali, the traditional river music of Bangladesh, and the fragility with which they currently survive somewhere between academic study and modernized renovation.
"Okul Nodi takes a meditative approach to exploring the relationship between Bhatiyali and the landscape from which it comes from, while at the same time, through form and structure, alludes to questions around the imminent disappearance of a rich folk form.
Bhatiyali is the soulful music sung, as tradition has it, by the boatmen of Bangladesh. The poignancy of the lyrics often rests on dual meanings wherein boats become bodies, lovers are also lost gods, and river banks stand for cycles of life and death. All the while, the melody, with its tonal variations, carries the listener into the natural world by creating the sensation of drifting along the water.
We spent months traversing the Brahmaputra-Ganges delta by boats, buses and rickshaws in search of boatmen, hoping to trace a history of this musical form and its relationship to the landscape. What we found instead was a passionate group of experts, the effects of modernization on folk traditions, and an open dialogue about what it means to be Bengali.
Mirroring the complicated yet fleeting relationship between the songs and the landscape and by calling attention to the intrinsic qualities of the cinematic form itself, Okul Nodi explores a disjunction between expectation and experience." (Tuni Chatterji)
Tuni's conceptual framework starts with form itself. She is interested in looking at the physical and philosophical spaces found between narrative language and documentation and the relationship between images and sounds relative to the phenomena of the cinematic experience. Her films vary in length and subject matter, but all ask the viewer to bring the experience of watching films to the forefront of their attention.
Trained as a painter at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tuni Chatterji went on to receive an MFA in filmmaking from The California Institute of the Arts. Tuni's movies have been screened around the world at venues including The Rotterdam International Film Festival, Cinematexas, Printemps du Septembre, The Museum of Modern Art in New York and most recently at the Dhaka International Film festival. Tuni became a Fulbright grantee for research and production on Okul Nodi.

This performance will be William Powell's "swan song."

There will be a reception for Mr. Powell and the other performing artists at the recital's conclusion.
Speaking in Public Series
CalArts, Main Gallery
INSTITUTE: Speaking in Public is a series of talks and workshops hosted by the Equity & Diversity Committee and designed to encourage discussion and collaboration between CalArts students, staff, faculty and administration on a wide range of concerns. It can be difficult to talk about sensitive, complex topics in groups, no matter how small or familiar, for fear of being ridiculed, of offending someone, of not knowing enough, or not having the 'right' to speak about a difference or experience not one's own. Speaking in Public provides participants opportunities to practice exchanging, learning and taking risks with others, with greater awareness, confidence and investment.
Screening and Q&A with Mauritanian Filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako
CalArts, Bijou Theater
FILM/VIDEO: The School of Film/Video in collaboration with The Collective, The Office of the Provost, The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States and UniFrance Films is proud to welcome Mauritanian Filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako and his latest film Timbuktu for a preview screening followed by a Q & A session with the director.
Mauritania's Best Foreign Language 2015 Oscar Competition Entry, Timbuktu (2014) looks at the brief occupation of the Timbuktu Region of Mali by Ansar Dine, a militant Islamist group led by Iyad Ag Ghaly, one of the most prominent leaders of the Tuareg rebellion in the 1990s. Parts of the film were influenced by the July 29, 2012, public stoning of an unmarried couple in Aguelhok, a village in eastern Mali.
It was shot in Oualata, a town in southeast Mauritania. "Aguelhok is neither Damascus nor Teheran," Sissako said in a pre-production statement over a year ago, adding that, "and in no way
am I looking to over-emotionalize these events for the purposes of a moving film. What I do want to do is bear witness as a filmmaker. Because I will never be able to say I didn't know. And because of what I know now, I must tell this story - in the hope that no child may ever have to learn this same lesson in the future. That their parents could die, simply because they love each other."
Abderrahmane Sissako was born 13 October 1961 in Mauritania. Soon after his family emigrated to Mali, his father's country, where he completed part of his primary and secondary education. Sissako
returned briefly to Mauritania, his mother's land, in 1980. Then he left for Moscow, where he studied cinema at the VGIK (Federal State Film Institute) from 1983 to 1989. Sissako settled in France at the
beginning of the 1990s.
Along with Ousmane Sembène, Souleymane Cissé, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Mahamat Saleh Haroun and Djibril Diop Mambety, Sissako is one of the few filmmakers from Sub-Saharan Africa to reach a measure of international influence. His film Waiting for Happiness (Heremakono) was screened at the 2002 Cannes Un Certain Regard section winning the FIPRESCI Prize. His 2007 film Bamako received much attention. Sissako's themes include globalisation, exile and the displacement of people. Timbuktu had its world premiere at the 20014 Cannes Film Festival.

REDCAT: "Wittily inventive... A cool, obsessive genius animates the ever more fevered proceedings of Arguendo." – The New York Times
"Full of Supremely Naughty Charm." – The Village Voice
New York's brilliant and provocative ensemble Elevator Repair Service, who famously turned The Great Gatsby into the stage epic Gatz at REDCAT, now brings the U.S. legal system to the stage in pure absurdist fashion. ERS portrays the Justices, lawyers and exotic dancers as they depict verbatim the U.S. Supreme Court case Barnes v. Glen Theatre, a 1991 case brought by a group of go-go dancers who claimed a First Amendment right to dance totally nude. Meanings are nuanced as the Justices attempt to define dance, ponder nudity from opera houses to strip-clubs, and ultimately answer if dancing naked is artistic expression or immoral conduct.

Paul Brach Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Jacolby Satterwhite
CalArts, F200
ART: Jacolby Satterwhite uses video, performance, 3D animation, fibers, drawing and printmaking to explore themes of memory, desire, personal and public mythology. He pares down multiple drawings and creates a time based narrative out of a nonsensical intersection of the text, rendered objects and dance performance. He is interested in process as a meta-narrative; the narrative between a mother and son's studio practices, the narrative between past, present, and future, and the narrative between mediums.

The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts Visiting Artist: Gloria Coates
CalArts, B318
MUSIC: Born in Wisconsin, Gloria Coates began composing and experimenting on her own with overtones and clusters at an early age. Her studies took her from Chicago's Goodman Theater, and De Paul University, to Louisiana, to Salzburg's Mozarteum, New York's Cooper Union Art School, and Columbia University for postgraduate studies in musical composition.
During her college years she was active not only as a composer, but also as an Equity actress, writer, critic and director, working in the arts to support herself while she studied. However, her greatest love was music, and it was composition that she felt was her deepest means of expression and which finally became her dedication.
While maintaining a residence in the United States, Gloria Coates has lived in Europe since 1970 where she has promoted American music both in organizing a German-American Music Series (1971–1984), writing musicological articles, and producing broadcasts for the radio stations of Munich, Cologne, and Bremen.
Gloria Coates's breakthrough came with the 1978 première of a work composed in 1973, Music on Open Strings, at the Warsaw Autumn Festival; a work for string orchestra in which the scordatura strings retune while playing. It proved to be the most discussed work at the festival and throughout the European press. In 1986 Music on Open Strings was a finalist for the KIRA Koussevitzsky International Award along with Philip Glass's Satagraha, Berio's Sinfonia and Steve Reich's Desert Music.
She was a finalist for the International Classical Music Award in 2010. She has written 16 symphonies and other orchestral pieces, ten string quartets, chamber music, numerous songs, solo pieces, electronic music, and music for the theatre. Stolen Identity will be premiered on November 13, 2014 at REDCAT.

Speaking in Public Series: Student Title IX and Outreach Committee Meeting
CalArts, Main Gallery
INSTITUTE: This committee will work with issues such as orientation, prevention education, awareness and events like Take Back the Night and "Its On Us" week (coming up soon), and art for change. This group is so important because it gives real form and visibility to our actions, needs and begins to transform rape culture and harassment on campus. This is also crucial in terms of prevention and education for everyone in the community.
We will be having a public meeting at 4 pm next Thursday in the main gallery- we are partnering with the Equity and Diversity Speaking in Public Series for this and upcoming meetings.
Speaking in Public is a series of talks and workshops hosted by the Equity & Diversity Committee and designed to encourage discussion and collaboration between CalArts students, staff, faculty and administration on a wide range of concerns. It can be difficult to talk about sensitive, complex topics in groups, no matter how small or familiar, for fear of being ridiculed, of offending someone, of not knowing enough, or not having the 'right' to speak about a difference or experience not one's own. Speaking in Public provides participants opportunities to practice exchanging, learning and taking risks with others, with greater awareness, confidence and investment.

- Part I: 8:30-10 pm at REDCAT
Keynote address: Alexander Weheliye
Feenin': R&B's Technologies of Humanity
- Part II: 6:30 am-8 pm at West Hollywood Public Library
Yesterday's Afrofuture is today, so instead of scanning the horizon for the Mothership, this two-day, multivenue conference brings urgency to address happenings on the ground right now. Featuring scholars, writers, and artists, This Isn't About The Future: Black Digital Culture Now addresses sousveillance, Black Twitter, genealogy, AutoTune and Vocoders, getting Embedded, Post- and posting, the digital body in art, the racial narrative of facial recognition software, activism, and more. This conference, curated by CalArts faculty member, Douglas Kearney, is driven by a need to acknowledge but also to question.
What is presence in our present? What does the digital mean for historically black sites of social performance including passing, code-shifting, signifyin(g), and other forms of hiding in plain sight? How do we understand diaspora, today? If the digital has so profoundly shifted us, is it time we found a new North Star?

REDCAT: REDCAT's Studio series is an ongoing, interdisciplinary program featuring informal new performance works and works-in-progress. This edition of Studio is programmed by guest curators Jessica Emmanuel and Emily Mast, and offers adventurous audiences a glimpse at projects by Los Angeles artists, including:
Voyeur is a collaborative performance and film project created by the recently formed collective No)One Art House. Ramped-up gestural choreography for six dancers is integrated with projected images to explore the theatrical dynamics of the relationships between the performers.
Or How I Became An Ice Princess is an interdisciplinary dance-theater duet by Chris DeVita and Adam Rigg, who are members of the collective I AM A BOYS CHOIR. With a fair dose of camp and intense physicality akin to an ice-skating competition or an aerobics class, the duo explores the body myth of the female athlete and the writings of philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler.
In Pleasure Fancy, the incisive and hilarious solo performer Davie-Blue reveals superhuman strengths as well as flirty and neurotic tendencies as she tries to imagine the ultimate and absolutely perfect solo performance.
This poignant visual and choreographic duet by dancer/choreographers Laura Berg and Gracie Whyte blends unique lighting elements and lush and fluid movement to investigate the intrinsic tension between light and darkness and the seen and unseen.
Using rigorous and energetic practice grounded in Alexander technique, The Mentor Project is a ceremonial performance in which solo theater-dance artist Ryan OByrne dramatizes an imagined relationship with a lost hero, the famed theater artist Reza Abdoh (1963-1995).
Jung Money — Devin KKenny, Def Sound, Ginger Snapz, Jahi Sundance, and Chrysanthe O. — is a group of emcees, back-up dancers, film/video artists, musicians and DJs, exploring the intersections of gender, sexuality, class, race, and cultural capital through a multimedia event that draws on inspirations ranging from hip hop and net culture to the Frankfurt School theorists.
The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts Visiting Artist: Jaap Blonk
CalArts, B305, The Wild Beast and Roy O. Disney Concert Hall
MUSIC: Jaap Blonk (born 1953, Woerden) is a Dutch avant-garde composer and performance artist. Blonk is primarily self-taught both as a sound artist and as a visual/stage performer.
He studied physics, mathematics, and musicology for a time, but did not complete his studies. One of his early influences was Kurt Schwitters, whose Ursonate he first heard in 1979; he memorized the entire work, and it became one of the cornerstones of his repertory; he has recited portions of the piece hundreds of times in various public places.
His compositions and performances are examples of sound poetry, making use of words and phonetic snippets as well as clicks, hisses, and other vocal manipulations. He works as a solo performer, in collaboration with avant-garde musicians such as John Tchicai, Tristan Honsiger, and Mats Gustafsson, and with his own ensembles Splinks and BRAAXTAAL. His live performances involve humor and improvisation, and are occasionally received poorly by audiences, as when he was booked as an opener for punk rock band The Stranglers early in the 1980s.

Structuring Strategies Presents Thomas Allen Harris' 'Through A Lens Darkly'
Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People
CalArts, Bijou Auditorium
FILM/VIDEO: Filmmaker Thomas Allen Harris in person
Tonight we are delighted to have Thomas Allen Harris return to Structuring Strategies for the third time in recent years with his celebrated new film, Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People. Following its premiere at the last Sundance International Film Festival, Through A Lens Darkly has received laudatory reviews from The New York Times, Time magazine, and was featured in last Sunday's Los Angeles Times. The film began a week long run last Friday at the Laemmle Playhouse 7 theater in Pasadena.
A rich and lyrical tapestry that is both personal and epic in scope, Thomas' extraordinary documentary, Through A Lens Darkly, is a unique examination of they way black photographers—and their subjects—have used the camera as a tool for social change from the time photography was invented to the present. Using the family album as a rubric, Thomas confronts the way images of "blackness" have affected his own family and sense of self-worth as an African American. He also illuminates the ways fellow photographers such as Deborah Willis, Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, Anthony Barboza, Hank Willis Thomas, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Glenn Ligon have challenged popular culture's definition of "blackness" and "black people." Through a Lens Darkly is a powerful and elegant engagement with the burden of representation and serves as a testament to the redemptive powers of creativity.
Inspired by Deborah Willis's book, Reflections in Black, Through A Lens Darkly (Willis is also a co-producer) casts a broad net that begins with the Harris family album. It considers the difference between black photographers who use the camera to define themselves, their people, and their culture and some white photographers who, historically, have demeaned African-Americans through racist imagery. The film embraces both historical material (African-Americans who were slaves, who fought in the Civil War, were victims of lynchings, or were pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement) and contemporary images made by such luminaries as Roy DeCarava, Gordon Parks, and Carrie Mae Weems. The film is a cornucopia of Americana that reveals deeply disturbing truths about the history of race relations while expressing joyous, life-affirming sentiments about the ability of artists and amateurs alike to assert their identity through the photographic lens. – Karen Cooper, Film Forum
"An extraordinary new documentary by filmmaker Thomas Allen Harris, is at-once a deep, rich dive into the history of African American photography and—transcending the subject at hand—a master class in visual literacy." – Mia Trams, Time Magazine
"This documentary offers a much-needed correction to the historical record, where images of African-Americans—and Africans themselves—often resorted to offensive tableaux that not only demeaned their subjects, but also denied them their basic humanity." – David Gonzalez, The New York Times
Thomas Allen Harris is the founder and President Chimpanzee Productions, a company dedicated to producing unique audio-visual experiences that illuminate the Human Condition and the search for identity, family, and spirituality. Chimpanzee's innovative and award-winning films have received critical acclaim at international film festivals such as Sundance, Berlin, Toronto, FESPACO, Outfest, and Cape Town; have been broadcast on PBS, the Sundance Channel, ARTE, CBC, Swedish broadcasting Network and New Zealand Television; and exhibited at the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, the Melbourne Arts Festival and MoMA.
Thomas' newly released film, Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People, won the Fund for Santa Barbara 2014 Social Justice Award and a Best Diasporic Documentary Award from the Africa Movie Academy Awards in Nigeria. Called "Wise and Passionate" by the New York Times and "Extraordinary" by Time Magazine, Through A Lens Darkly is opening in theaters across the country, accompanied by its transmedia community engagement project Digital Diaspora Family Reunion (1world1family.me), an interactive forum that combines film, photography, social media and oral histories in a live touring event. Since 2009, Digital Diaspora has held 18 Roadshows in 9-cities, and received in excess of 10 million media impressions.
Thomas is a recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including a Tribeca Film Institute's Nelson Mandela Award, and United States Artist, Guggenheim, and Rockefeller Fellowships. A graduate of Harvard College with a degree in Biology, He has taught as an Associate Professor of Media Arts at the University of California San Diego and a Visiting Artist at the International Center of Photography. A published photographer, curator, and writer, Thomas lectures widely on the use of media as a tool for social change.

REDCAT: "Far from a cozy haven, this house throbs with a rave's raw, bright energy." – The New York Times
The passionate and high-voltage dance events created by collaborators Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar have firmly established them as potent forces in the international performance community, energizing a new generation of audiences. After gaining global praise with eye-opening works for Batsheva and other eminent dance ensembles, their own acclaimed company, L-E-V, is celebrated for an astute confluence of movement, music, lighting, fashion, art and technology—each uniquely expressive while emotionally entwined. Their electrifying piece HOUSE, a sultry and intoxicating ensemble work set to the driving beats of an original score by Ori Lichtik, is delivered by fiercely talented dancers that move with expressive precision. L-E-V feeds off of emerging technologies and integrates them effortlessly and unobtrusively into cross-disciplinary stagings that could be equally at home at a techno-club or opera house.

REDCAT: "A blazing star of the contemporary animation scene." – Cartoon Brew
Having popularized stripped-down graphics and glitch effects, David OReilly opened up the aesthetic horizons of 3D animation with richly imagined lo-fi absurdism and a surprising soulfulness. Known for the influential shorts Please Say Something (2009), winner of top awards at the Berlin and Ottawa film festivals, and The External World (2010), he was Cartoon Network's first-ever "guest director" on the fifth-season opener of Adventure Time, and created video games for Spike Jonze's Oscar-nominated film Her. The animation star has since developed his own high-concept game, Mountain.

Restoration begins on Pompeii's fragile ruins
Work has begun to shore up Pompeii's fragile ruins, following several collapses in the sprawling ancient Roman city.
The Associated Press
Work has begun to shore up Pompeii's fragile ruins, following several collapses in the sprawling ancient Roman city.
The tourist attraction near Naples is chronically short of state funds. Helping pay for the latest restoration is more than (EURO)40 million ($55 million) in European Union funds, which an EU commissioner, Johannes Hahn, in Pompeii on Wednesday, described as an important step toward rescuing the archaeological complex from modern-day ruin. In 2010, torrential rain caused the collapse of a wall in Pompeii, and a frescoed building where gladiators prepared for battle crumbled into a pile of dust.
In Florence, a piece of 16th-century frescoed ceiling in the Uffizi museum fell off Wednesday during work. No one was hit by the fragments, which gallery officials said would be put back in place.

Oh, dear. I nearly managed to get through the day while forgetting to post the highlights from today's Valley Voice. It's a good one, too, with lots of interesting stories. First up is the Valley Mission Haunted Pool that opens tomorrow. The pool has been transformed into a haunted house that will be open the next two weekends. It was freaky enough when it was half-finished in daylight; I'm sure it will be frightfully good.
In keeping with our (unplanned) Halloween theme, reporter Lisa Leinberger has a story on the new corn maze at the HUB Sports Center. This is the first year for the event, which features a haunted area for the adventurous. There are also plenty of regular mazes for families and those who like to get lost.
Spokane Valley City Council incumbent Chuck Hafner took his turn answering a series of questions we posed to all the candidates. His opponent, Donald Morgan Jr., did not respond. We also have a quick roundup of the races in Rockford, Latah, Fairfield, Spokane County Fired District 9 and the Spokane Valley Fire Department.
The city of Spokane Valley is considering whether to change the zoning of a parcel of land sandwiched between the Centennial Trail and Mirabeau Park from park/open space to mixed use. Nothing has been decided yet, but it may be part of a deal to get land needed for the Pines Road overpass above the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks.

WhatData Radically Changes the Pricing of Storage Management Tools
Stockholm, SE, Feb 18, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Understanding ones storage situation used to be complex and hard. To get an in-depth, detailed analysis of an organizations' storage utilization, one was forced to install big & clumsy software packages. And even configure and maintain big databases. Not to mention the hefty license and maintenance costs. With WhatDatas' new web-based online storage management tool that's now a thing of the past.
WhatData.com introduces a new access model and a new pricing model for storage management tools. With a cloud- and web-based access model, and a low pay-per-use pricing plan, WhatData radically changes the way Storage Management products are priced. With reporting of up to 1TB of data being free, then a price between $49 and $199 per use for larger data reports.
WhatData provides storage administrators with next-generation, web-based interactive Storage Analytics that delivers immediate insight into their storage environment. It's unique in that it not only lets them report on users, files and file types, but also gives a fresh insights into where the actual problem areas lie. By applying Analytics to its findings, bottlenecks are highlighted for the user to concentrate their management efforts where they will pay off the most. WhatData Storage Analytics reports on Windows file-servers, NetApp filers, EMC filers, Dell Storage, HP Storage and others.
