thoughts on life, design and technology
I really like how the interweb allows artists to be able to put themselves out in front of an audience and share their work; from pencil drawings to programming code and digital masterpieces. My friend Cy illustrates this point very nicely by posting a video on YouTube.
You can learn more about his art at lookingid.com
Enjoy!
One of the greatest things about having a day off is being able to visit with friends when everyone else is at work. The other day, I met with my good friend Cy.
Cy is a street painter and you can find him most days at Victor Steinbruech Park located in downtown Seattle. He is always so gracious to everyone that stops to see his work and generally a happy fellow.
He is currently working on a graphic novel that he plans to work on for many years; you can see his progress on his website, www.lookingid.com.
Below is an example of the type of work you can expect to see from him. (I got to keep this one — thanks Cy!)

I am on vacation this week, so I decided to check out some art around Seattle. Today I went downtown to see “interactivity” at the McLeod Residence.
The space inside looks and feels very much like a house or apartment, but don’t let that fool you. They had a screen with a web cam in the lobby that I happen to touch; a few minutes later I found out that it took pictures of the person touching it and uploaded them to Flicker automatically. here I am.
Soon after that, I met Lele McLeod who handed me a map of the place which came in handy. There is so much art inside that it is easy to miss something spectacular if you’re not paying attention. The bathroom for example had an LCD screen for a mirror.
All in all, I was very pleased with my visit to the McCleod Residence; which reminds me that I need to make an effort seek out more art, more often. I always end up having a good time and feeling energized.
I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience high-tech art in Seattle. Even though I don’t drink, I would love to go back at night to hang out in the neon-lighted lounge area.
