Three artists talks were hosted as part of the “Data Poetics: Digital Art @ Google” art show hosted by Google’s Chelsea office in New York. www.chelseaartmuseum.org This video is the third talk in the series. In this talk Fernanda Viergas and Martin Wattenberg talk about their projects blending art and data visualization, including Flickr Flow which is included in the exhibition. In the second half (at 31:26) W. Bradford Paley presents his work in art and visualization, including pieces from the show such as Text Arc and Code Profiles

“The Truth About Santa: Wormholes, Robots and What Really Happens on Christmas Eve” by Gregory Mone We all know Santa Claus: fat, jolly, omniscient, swift. Lives in a nice home in the Arctic, with the missus and a pack of elves. Well, forget what you know. Santa Claus is from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as it turns out, and he’s not as fat as he used to be. Here’s something else you didn’t know: he’s been dabbling in some futuristic technology, and has found myriad ways to make his job possible. How can Santa know who’s been naughty and nice? Simple: implant listening devices into your ornaments. How can he make it to every house Christmas Eve? That’s nothing a little cloning and some wormholes can’t solve. And he has plenty of other tactics: quantum entanglement, organ replacement, drug-induced hibernation, and unmanned aerial vehicles, to name just a few. In this fantastically illustrated, affectionate, and hilarious book, Gregory Mone uses science and technology to overturn the assumption that Santa can’t be real. Drawing on the work of accomplished scientists and researchers, Mone gives us a whole new portrait of this remarkable man and the miracles he makes happen every year. With imaginative artwork and an eye-catching package, this book makes an outstanding Christmas gift for just about anyone. Gregory Mone is a contributing editor at Popular Science magazine. His feature articles have appeared in Wired, Discover, Women’s Health, National Geographic Adventure, and The …

Seconde partie de la présentation de MGS.

Although video documentation has been slow (because of limited encounters over a good number of weeks), I have managed to get some and will begin posting them online as part of my upcoming in-depth review. More will be appearing here. Here we examine the relative performance of the Whistler Pro-3600 Remote, Beltronics STi Driver, and Escort Redline radar detectors to CO 34.7Ghz Ka away-facing, around multiple curves. This first video is more of a demonstration of compressed sensitivity differences as a consequence of this particular encounter type. It is important to point out that often times, in around-the-curve encounters, the relative sensitivities of radar detectors can become much less apparent because of the nature of the waveform propagation. Notice when all three detectors essentially alert at the same time, they do so at or nearly at full-strength. Had this encounter been a long-distance straight and unobstructed approach to CW radar, the higher sensitive Beltronics and Escort, would tend to alert first. Such encounters often significantly provide less detection range than would otherwise be the case in straight-on line-of-sight type approaches and effectively demonstrates that one does not always benefit from using a very highly sensitive radar detector.
