Episode 388: Will Brown
February 4, 2013 · Print This Article
This week: San Francisco check in with an interview with art collective/gallery Will Brown.
Will Brown is a collaborative project that currently takes form as an experimental exhibition space in San Francisco's Mission District. Will Brown is Lindsey White, Jordan Stein, and David Kasprzak.
On February 2, 2013, David Kasprzak, Jordan Stein, and Lindsey White opened the exhibition The Ghost of James Lee Byars: A Retrospective in their space, Will Brown, located in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco. The retrospective takes place in a pitch-black room that is itself an installation piece; it purportedly houses both the oeuvre and the spirit of the deceased artist, who declared all of his work to be cancelled upon his death. The absurdity that underscores the exhibition has become a hallmark of Will Brown in the year since its inception. Bad at Sports contributors Brian Andrews and Patricia Maloney spoke with the three collaborators just a few weeks prior to the opening to learn more about the philosophy that guides their singular form of exhibition making, about how the space came into being, and to find out exactly who or what is Will Brown. This interview is part of the ongoing collaboration between Bad at Sports and Art Practical, where you can read an abridged version of their conversation.
Episode 348: The Art Practical Sound Issue
April 30, 2012 · Print This Article
This week: And now for something completely different!
This week's episode comes to us from our friends at Art Practical, whose current issue delves into the rich history of sound art in the San Francisco Bay Area. The included essays and interviews constitute a fraction of the rich and varied world of experimental sound. Here, Art Practical's contributing editors Catherine McChrystal and Kara Q. Smith offer an all-audio version of that issue with samples of work by the artists profiled in that issue, including:
Maryann Amacher, Joshua Churchill, Paul DeMarinas, Chris Duncan, Jacqueline Gordon, Aaron Harbour, Shane Myrbeck, Pauline Oliveros, Ethan Rose, and the San Francisco Tape Music Center.
The Bay Area's technological reign has established San Francisco as a destination for sound artists and experimental composers seeking to advance their practices through the genesis of new mediums. They explore sound's capacity to conflate sensory experience; from the earliest days of sound art, artists and experimental musicians discovered in the genre a medium that is inclusive, participatory, disruptive, and that could embody their political goals. This episode explores how sounds are both aural and physical, producing reverberations that register in our ears and bodies and that locate or disorient us in space.
You can check out the articles included in Art Practical's Sound Issue here.
Episode 327: John Riepenhoff / Miami Madness
December 6, 2011 · Print This Article
This week: Bad at Sports changes in to 88.5 "the shack" for NADA Miami where we were kindly and patiently hosted by Ox-Bow and Jonas Sebura and Alex Gartelmann (who let us set up our lunacy in their sculptural installation).
We talk to John Riepenhoff, artist, gallerist, awesome person (who has work in a show at Western Exhibitions opening this Friday).
Then Art Practical sums up the fair(s) and Patricia expresses her desire to cross genre to breed with a sandwich. Which is odd in that early in the show, and uknown to Patricia, Richard expresses the crushing sadness caused by the loss of a sandwich when Abu's on Farwell changed owners and became awful.
This show is a fucking masterpiece, stop reading this and listen.
Episode 299: Aaron GM and Ginger Wolfe-Suarez
May 23, 2011 · Print This Article
This week: San Francisco checks in with a discussion with Aaron GM and Ginger Wolfe-Suarez
In this episode Art Practical contributors Zachary Royer Scholz, Elyse Mallouk, and Patricia Maloney speak with artists Aaron GM and Ginger Wolfe-Suarez. This was one of several conversations held over the weekend of the fair as part of "In and Out of Context: Artists Define the Space between San Francisco and Los Angeles,†a program that invited artists to consider the two cities as a continuously evolving constellation of dialogues, shared interests, and overlapping approaches. An abridged transcript of the conversation can be read on Art Practical.
Aaron GM lives and works in Los Angeles. He studied at both San Francisco Art Institute and UCLA. Recently he exhibited a solo presentation at the NADA Art fair in Miami Beach (2010). Other Recent solo exhibitions include capezio (2010) at ltd los angeles, Timeshares (2009) at Parker Jones Gallery in Los Angeles, and sales calls(2008) at Blanket Gallery in Vancouver. Aaron has shown in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
Ginger Wolfe-Suarez is an emerging conceptual artist, writer, and theorist. Her work often takes the form of large-scale sculpture, exploring the psychology of built space. Both an exploration into the experiential phenomena of body-object relationships, and a questioning of the material nature of sculpture interweave concepts of memory and process. Wolfe-Suarez teaches studio critique and art theory, and is currently Visiting Faculty in the graduate program at San Francisco Art Institute. Her writings on art criticism have been published internationally, and her artwork has been recently exhibited at Silverman Gallery, ltd Los Angeles, KUNSTRAUM AM SCHAUPLATZ in Vienna, Artist Curated Projects in Los Angeles, Mills Art Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and High Desert Test Sites, among others. She studied at Goldsmiths College in London and later received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. Wolfe-Suarez lives and works in Richmond, CA, where she raises her three-year-old son.

Later, Patricia and AP editor Tess Thackara speak with artist Sarah Cain about her years living and working in the Bay Area before relocating to Los Angeles, her working process, and the oases she finds in LA.
Luke Butler received his MFA from California College of the Arts in 2008.

In a brand-new interview, John Mayer attacks ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift! Find out all the details!
Taylor's infamous ex is calling her out for "cheap songwriting" as he's "humiliated" by her ode to their past relationship in "Dear John!"
"It made me feel terrible," John says in the July 2012 issue of Rolling Stone, on newsstands Friday. "Because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."
"Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?" Taylor sings on the track that was released on her 2010 best-selling album Speak Now! The timing also couldn't have been worse as the release came immediately after John took a 2-year hiatus following his controversial interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy!
John says he was caught off guard by the song's content and Taylor's feelings! "I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call," he says. "I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?" When asked about the song's lyric, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?" John says, "I don't want to go into that."
Aside from the "humiliating" lyrical content, John also feels that writing and releasing the song was a cheap move on Taylor's part! "I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting," he says. "I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bulls**t."
But, wait! John reportedly wrote a break-up song after his split from Jennifer Aniston! Is he being a hypocrite?
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Was Taylor's song cheap songwriting or a practice of freedom of speech?
– Chris Rogers

He is who he is but don't tell me you guys think Swift is innocent???
You only had her side of their story not his side so clearly it is easy for her to turn u against him! He is maybe a player but she is so childish and that it's so juvenile to revenge on songs and tell everybody how he was bad to her: tell me if he wrote and sing a song as an apology to her would you forgive him and see him differently?? I don't think so because it 's John mayer!!!
But you guys thought Swift was so "sweet" when she dedicated a song to Taylor Lautner(whom she hurt apparently dumped for John Mayer) because of what? Because it's Taylor swift the "so called america's sweetheart". I'm not a fan of any of them but please use your brains first Mayer did to her what she did to Lautner(what goes around comes all the way back around yeah!) and number 2 she loves to use guys as materials for her songs!!
Jake G is going to pay hard in the next album because Taylor swift is a spoiled little brat who always has what she wants! But I guess she's going to pay the price soon too and it would be hard for her cause the girl is not the innocent good girl she pretends to be and especially for what she wrote on her 3rd album( insults Camilla belle, always talking about Joe and humiliating and turning fans against John Mayer who is btw AN ARTIST what she isn't)!!Come on jump on me swifties kids! LOOOOL

No No Taylor Swift start the fire she has to pay the price now: writing and dissing exes in her songs won't do her right! Guess why she's still single damn which men with senses would want to date her it's crazy he'll finish in a song poor guy! We are waiting to hear Jake G songs on her future album and waiting for his response cause he'll diss her too! what does she think, the way she acts is immature, can't she just accept that guys don't like her anymore and prefer to stop their relation?? No she immediately writes a revenging song and telling her fans how bad he treated her but if the guy broke up he didn't treated her bad before right? She had no problems being with him since he broke up NO???? For me she is just a frustrated spoiled little girl acting like a diva with guys and that's why she is single and probably will remain single for a while raising cats!!!

r u joking right now tell me your joking. come on look at the whole picture Look at some of the posts ive written maybe youll get the big picture. If you would have done the same things as her that shows your charcter also. SHe released the song When he was at his lowest point in his life being bashed About jessica and jennifer thats just low

with you 100%. her innocent little flower routine doesn't fool me. please, she was a worldly entertainer of 19 at the time – someone who asks "don't you think i was too young to be messed with?" is trying to incite controversy. you were a woman Taylor, no virgin & who doesn't know what to expect from John Mayer at this point? did she think they would get married, move to Nashville and start the Mayer-Swift Family Band? give us a break. she got on his album with that crappy contribution, she should consider herself lucky.

Ok Mayer why would you go out with her if you didn't want her to write a song about it? Everyone that knows anything about Taylor knows she writes songs about her exes uts part of what makes her so famous and relatable so I think it's his fault that he got involved with her and he should shut his mouth
Posted at 2:30 PM on June 6, 2012
Posted at 11:23 PM on June 10, 2012
first of all John mayer got bashed for saying all those things about Jessica and Jennifer. K. So none of us said that it was ok We never said it was ok. Second in that song she talks about the age and everything. Excuse me but she chose to date him. SO ultimatley it is her fault also. Thirdly she has written songs about her exes numerous times saying that they havent worked out. now let me guess you thought that it was their fault that the relationship didnt work right? Of course you did because all of her exes didnt have to right songs about it because they have a little dignity. She has spoken badly about all her exes.. at least John mayer is speaking up about it. He didnt speak up about it # years ago because he was already bashed about speaking publically. So what if he was a jerk. All humans are jerks. Your just jabbing him because there in the public eye. Also Dear John came out when it was his worst year and she knew that it was. It just shows her chaarcter
Posted at 3:05 PM on July 11, 2012
You mean you've never wanted to lash out at someone who's angered you? Seriously? Everyone knows that Taylor Swift writes songs about her life–then maybe John Mayer should've been more cautious with his actions, instead of treating her like all his other girlfriends.
And why're you calling her out because of her 'character'? You just said that everyone's a jerk. Everyone has that shard of spitefulness inside themselves, even YOU.

I know nother about Mayer…… But why would anyone go out with Taylor Swift, with her history of song writing? How many songs has she written about guys from her past? Beware to her next BF that you will get written about especially if you make her mad. And I have to agree that is cheap and common.
Posted at 12:53 PM on June 6, 2012
He was doing so well… and now he's back to slamming another girl. So she wrote a song about him. Too bad. Obviously his behavior merited the song, particularly since before hooking up with her, he know her proclivity to writing songs to purge the demons. Come on John, shut your trap and get to talking about YOUR music.

Lagos, Algarve, Portugal
Lagos (pronounced Lar-gosh), on the west coast of the Algarve, really does have it all. Several beautiful beaches including the never ending, uncrowded Meia Praia. With a large busy marina and maze of a town centre this resort is perfect for people watching. With Cape St Vincent and the Monchique mountains on your doorstep, Lagos is the perfect choice for everyone. Best suited to couples and groups of any age. Transfer time approx 1hr 30 - 2hrs.
Lagos is home to some of the best beaches in the Algarve and there is plenty to choose from too.
Meia Praia is the most popular beach in Lagos. The beach offers over 4km of beautiful, clean sand with various car parks along the way so it is easily accessible. There are also ramps and wooden walkways for easy access. There are some beach bars here too for those who are in need of a little refreshment. This beach has been awarded the Blue Flag.
Praia da Batata is the closest beach to the town centre and is therefore known as the 'town beach'. Although this beach is smaller than the likes of Meia Praia, it is sheltered and divided into smaller coves which are accessible by holes in the rocks. There is a couple of beach bars and some sunbeds for hire. It is also possible to participate in sea kayak tours or other watersports.
Check out the fantastic rock formations at Dona Ana Beach and take shelter from the sea breeze. The beach is accessible via wooden steps so is not suitable for wheelchair users or buggies. There is some car parking behind the beach and a restaurant.
Camillo beach is just beautiful, although it is reached by a number of steps so perhaps not accessible by all. The view from the top of the beach is fantastic and the restaurant is popular with local residents who can enjoy the view whilst sampling the freshly caught seafood.
Things to Do
There are many historical sites and attraction in Lagos so take a wander round the cobbled streets and take a step back in time.
Lagos is surrounded by fantastic cliffs and perhaps the best way to explore these is by taking a grotto tour. The local fishermen will take you on a tour of the local caves and navigate their way through and around the cliffs and amazing rock formations. There are also many secluded beach coves that are only accessible by boat.
If you enjoy being active whilst on holiday, then take a trip to the sports complex in Lagos. Here you will find a state of the art fitness centre, indoor football and heated swimming pool. There is also an auditorium which hosts concerts and various exhibitions throughout the year.
There is also a couple of tennis courts in Lagos, perfect if you are feeling energetic. Equipment can be hired and courts can be rented per the hour or you could take part in some tennis classes.
Out and About
As well as the many historical attractions in Lagos, there are many bars, cafes and restaurants just waiting to be visited. There are many restaurants to be found in both the Old Town and down at the Marina. The cafes and restaurants down the marina area tend to be a little quieter and great for a spot of people watching.
Nightlife here can be as quiet or as lively as you want it to be. There is everything from trendy bars, late night jazz bars and nightclubs that stay open unto the early hours so whether it's a quiet drink or a party atmosphere, Lagos has it all.
There are plenty of shops here in Lagos, so whether you are looking for a special present to take home or just fancy treating yourself to something new, you will find the perfect gift here and have fun exploring the many shops at the same time.
Nearby Attractions
There is plenty to do in the area too.
There are many attractions at Aqualand which is a water park,to suit the whole family. There are swimming pools, wave pools, gentle slides for little ones and slightly more thrilling rides for bigger kids and adults too. The park can get very busy but it is a great day out for all.
Hop on board one of the dolphin seafari boats and head out to sea to see the dolphins at play. Dolphins are such beautiful creatures and it is just great to see them having fun in their natural environment. If you are lucky, you may also see orcas and turtles on this 90 minute trip.
The zoo in the village of Barao Sao Joao is very popular with both locals and tourists and provides an entertaining yet educational experience for all. More than 120 animal species and 200 botanical species can be found in a natural environment. There is a snack bar and restaurant on site should you require something to eat.
The Zoo Marine in Guia is a very popular choice for families with children and is the highlight of many a holiday. Visitors will be able to see dolphins, sea lions, seals, tropical birds and various birds of prey. There is also an aquarium with exotic fish and sharks and there is a 4D cinema too so there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.
As you will no doubt be aware, the Algarve is well known for its golf courses and with at least 20 golf courses in the area, there will be one to suit, no matter what your ability. Most of the courses are open throughout the year and some may require proof of handicap.

text: It is true. People always have the choice of doing nothing; they can keep supporting the same two parties year after year after year...no matter how much money pours into those parties from corporations. No matter that subsidies to Big Oil and other corporate entities will continue. No matter that drilling will not only continue but expand. That the pipeline will continue to be built. That the drone war will be expanded. That domestic surveillance will expand and civil liberties contract. None of that matters to people unwilling to change, but the future belongs to those who are willing to change and to do something new. Americans support two parties, one of which is right-wing extremist and the other, on a good day is centrist, but mainly is just right of center. It is true that Americans can do nothing and just go along with the status quo and hope that someday one of these parties will actually embrace Progressive ideals and move to the Left; but doing nothing hardly ever accomplishes anything. The Green Party is just the monkey wrench that the corporate duopoly needs. Quite simply, it is both disingenuous, dishonest, and factually incorrect to state,"There is no guarantee that the Green Party won't eventually be subjected to the same problems the main two have. Just a matter of time." Unlike the platforms of the two dominant parties, the Green Party has clearly stated positions in their platform that explicitly prohibit acceptance of corporate payola, collaboration with the corporate regime, and the maintenance of the grotesquely bloated military-industrial complex. Also, unlike the dominant parties, the Green Party clearly acknowledges climate change and the need for immediate action. It even has a plan known as the Green New Deal. The Green Party has in its platform clear statements supporting environmental justice, economic justice, social justice, and working towards real peace. The Democrats have none of these positions in their party platform. And, to clarify the matter further, newly re-elected President Obama will impose a harsh austerity package on Americans in the name of cutting the deficit, cutting the social safety net out from under those who need it most. The President will also not only continue,but expand the terror campaign of the drones. Inaction on climate change will be another hallmark of his second term: at most, he will offer lukewarm support for a cap-and-trade i.e. bait-and-switch program for industry that allows corporations to look cooperative on climate change even while they continue to pour poison into the atmosphere. His support will falter as soon as he meets resistance. He will collaborate with further assaults on collective bargaining, civil liberties, and human rights. Domestic surveillance will expand during the second term. Given all this, there are still those who will choose to do nothing and support the same old tired centrist party no matter how much it continue to betray the Left. It may be a case of "Obama is the only game in town," but if that is the case, it is only because so many of us would rather do nothing than change the system.

Fully continuous liquid crystal diffraction grating with alternating semi-circular alignment by imprinting |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 3, pp. 3034-3042 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1967 KB)
We demonstrate a fully continuous liquid crystal (LC) grating device with the alternating semi-circular alignment which exhibits the switching effect between the diffraction orders independent of the thickness of the LC cell. The continuous phase modulation in the LC grating with the rotational symmetry was achieved on a micro-imprinted surface where the semi-circular alignment of the LC was spontaneously produced. Our LC grating device in the hybrid geometry exhibited the perfect continuity of the phase retardation and the switchable diffraction with the diffraction efficiency of 44% at ±1st orders as a function of an applied voltage. It was found that the symmetry of the input polarization direction with respect to the grating patterns results in the interchange between two symmetric grating configurations.

The rooms were comfortable, renovated, very clean and well heated. The breakfast was brought to the table (no buffet), but there was a good selection of pastries, coating and drinks. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
A lift is available, so that you can store your luggage on the room bring can.
In the bathroom missing storage space, even if a mirrored wardrobe is available.
In the city center it takes not long (about 5 minutes), since a metro station is nearby, with in 5 minutes a train runs. read hotel review

Functional city hotel with central situation with good traffic route in the proximity the underground station magarethengürtel and 600 metres from the city centre. The breakfast you have to ask, if you would like more, very friendly service, i had several dings to complain about, so that they are very professionally handled and have the damage repaired immediately. In the proximity are a goal and a Billa. The rooms are huge and the standard often contain a kitchen in which you could also cheaply can cook. In the vicinity there is also an italian restaurant i can only recommend with ... the name gondola ( schönbrunnerstraße 70). For a short city break with the family! At any time gladly again. read hotel review

MindRDR is a new application which connects Google Glass and Neurosky EEG biosensor, allowing users to take photos and share them on Twitter and Facebook using brainwaves to navigate the user interface.
This project was born through an ongoing discussion in the This Place studio on the use of wearable devices. We have been especially interested in how humans will interact with their devices in new and more intuitive ways. Rather than speculate, we set out to create the user interface of the future – The MindRDR project is the result of our efforts.
The Plan
We want to change the future of usability for everyone. As a digital design agency, we are acutely aware of the importance of accessibility and potential for digital technologies to enhance the lives of millions of people who live with disabilities. It seemed clear to us that in order to make a difference, we needed to focus on cutting out the need for a high level of dexterity to operate computers, and instead focus on utilising the power of the mind.
Explorations in Mind Control
This Place have been playing with Google Glass for some time now and we saw it as the perfect platform on which to focus our efforts. We then bought a widely available device that could detect brain activity, the Neurosky Mindwave, and began our journey towards connecting the two.
Our first task was to find out what brain data we could detect and utilise. Using the software bundle with the EEG device, we quickly realised that the two most powerful metrics we could measure were Concentration and Meditation. We then hacked together a method for connecting the device to the Google Glass so that we could create a simple app to test things out. For our first test we created an app that displayed a counter starting at 0. When the user concentrated, the app would begin counting upwards towards 50. If the user entered a relaxed state, the counter began returning to 0. This successful test showed us that we were indeed controlling Glass with our mind.
MindRDR is Born
We wanted to harness this control mechanism into an app that demonstrated a real-world use case, something that people could use. Therefore we created MindRDR, an app that allows a user to take a photo and socialise it via Twitter, all with the power of their mind. The successful development of this telekinetic interface prototype has allowed us to dream bigger and look to fulfil our goal of bringing this next generation User Interface into the mainstream. mindrdr.thisplace.com

26m. 26m. (The Adder) On the far left, right of the descent gully, are two thin vertical cracks in the north-facing wall. This is the left-hand-crack system, splitting a large roof low down. Approach from below and climb the bulge and sustained zig-zagging crack to ledges. Abseil off. It is also possible to start further to the left and miss out the crux - H�kon Magnus, 6+, joining Huggormen at 10m though the start looks hard and bold. © ROCKFAX Easy climbing up to a crack that starts in a roof. Pull the roof and climb up the crack to a ledge close to the top. Bring up the second and scramble up to the top. Petter Restorp, Hanna Mellin Submit a new photo of this climb. | |||
