I do a lot of projection installations, in unique locations, usually with about zero setup time. When I looked into buying a professional 10’x7’ “fast-fold” screen, I was blown away by […]

We covered a source for cheap visualist miscellany last week. It included cheap NTSC CMOS cameras, but unfortunately DealExtreme doesn’t seem to stock much PAL gear. I had gone looking and placed an order with another site, but didn’t want to recommend it until that order had arrived intact. That order has arrived intact. The […]

Art and science meet in a NASA hangar. Photo: jasonunbound, via Flickr. Space exploration has had a deep impact on the way a lot of us see the world and think about our art.
