    In Search of . . .

    My friend Rachel Tillman’s father worked on the Viking mission and she has devoted many hours collecting and archiving a large assortment of material related to the mission as the Founder and Executive Director of The Viking Mars Missions Education and Preservation Project.

    Art is by humans, for humans

    I thoroughly enjoyed the final cut of Everything is a Remix which, if you’ve seen earlier cuts, has been updated to include a chapter about AI and its impact on Art.

    Death as Art

    These are the times we live in. Artist James Beckwith plotted each death from January thru June along a timeline, on a map and set it to music, “each country is represented by a tone and an expanding blip on the map when a death from Covid-19 is recorded” says Beckwith on his YouTube page.…
