Hurricane Sandy hit New York City with tremendous surprise and have taken away lives of people. West Chelsea was especially vulnerable to the rising level of Hudson river. Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, located between 11th avenue and 21st street has suffered great loss in their equipment and archive. I spent few hours this afternoon to visit Eyebeam and help in restoring archive material. Earlier on it's history, Eyebeam was a post production house for artists. Many renowned artists used Eyebeam's facility and production assistants to complete their moving image work. There were many media in obsolete formats, such as DLTtape, VHS, S-VHS, and few different kinds of video and audio media. Eyebeam's work has not been systematically archived, and few of the current fellows were in the process of initiating archival project. The flood hit Eyebeam's storage facility and damaged much of the archive. I noticed few of the media with its name, and exhibition titled and such.

In the Third_Eye Workshop each participant will build and take home a 3rd_eye, a small device that can be clipped on a headband, hat or cap. The third_eye uses infrared light to sense your proximity to people or objects and buzzes more vigorously the closer they are. (Often people quickly forget they are wearing them and just incorporate them as a new sense, going from thinking “this thing is buzzing on my neck” to simply “someone is behind me” in less than an hour. )" from - http://machineproject.com/archive/classwork/2012/10/21/third-eye-workshop/ 

"How can a textile function as a digital object? This is a central question of Infinite Weft, a project that I’ve been working on for a the last few months. The project is a collaboration with my mother, Diane Thorp, who has been weaving for almost 40 years – it’s a chance for me to combine my usually screen-based digital practice with her extraordinary hand-woven work. It’s also an exploration of mathematics, computational history, and the concept of pattern." - Jer Thorp http://blog.blprnt.com/blog/blprnt/infinite-weft-exploring-the-old-aesthetic
