    I was looking for this information!
  •  
    The Oregon Country Fair is one of the culture shocks I had coming from the East coast. It represents an awesome culture and collaboration in the Pacific Northwest.It spreads culture and heritage through arts of a nonprofit organization. I hope to go to it this year to experience a sense of belonging with the community around me. It touches a different part of me when I hear about friends experiences rather than just a fair. It is certainly a unique type of fair.
  •  
    The country fair, deservingly, is one of the biggest art and music festivals in Oregon and I think it thoroughly encompasses art and culture that has developed in our area of the PNW. I love it because everything there is so unique and eccentric and of course it being undoubtedly an event to display a diverse range of artistic practices, is naturally accepting of all artists and consumers alike. In my humble opinion, there is no opportunity for boredom at the country fair!
  •  
    A unique art world of its own. "Absorb other-worldly path ambiance, parades and surprises around every bend. Dress up and come ready to participate in a time-of-your-life cultural immersion."
  •  
    The Country Fair has shifted over the almost 40 years that I've been going. Perhaps because it is produced primarily by volunteers and inhabited by creative food vendors, musicians, performers, and visual artists. These people all bring their own culture to the fair and in turn, the fair reflects that every shifting culture.
  •  
    I have not been since the mid 90's. I had a bad experience the last time that I went and have not gone back since. I would like to give it another try. I used to have such a fabulous time at the fair.
  •  
    I have not been to the fair but would love to go sometime, from what I have read from the comments and heard form the community it is an amazing experience.
  •  
    I can't wait and see the world class entertainers and performers, hand craft artisans and gourmet food creators at this amazing festival.

On The Rocks: all-male a cappella group from the UofO - 3 views

  •  
    On The Rocks was founded in 1999 by Leo DaSilva and Peter Hollens when they attended the University of Oregon. The group established itself through five albums with an EP, a viral video of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, and appearances on NBC's show "The Sing Off". And now they are a new group of twelve living up to their past of fame and notoriety. You may ask us, "Why don't you sing Lady Gaga?" or "Where are the guys from the 'Sing Off'?" Sadly those days are gone. Those who graduated left us a great legacy and we look up to their talent every time we sing. But talent never graduates. Talent built this group from a time before the boom of TV shows and viral videos, because having the time of our lives has always been the goal and will continue to be forever. So know this: Every time we perform, we step on stage with the vigor of every man who has ever sang in our name. On. The. Rocks.

    I have a couple friends in the all-female a cappella counterpart to OTR, Divisi, who are equally as talented :)
  •  
    I love watching On The Rocks perform! It's awesome to walk by the EMU amphitheater on a Friday and see all the people gathered around to hear them. It's like UO has it's own a cappella community.
  •  
    I really enjoy these guys because of the community that they create while singing and the way they can harmonize themselves all together.
  •  
    The men in OTR are so talented and show perseverance with all of their endeavors. Especially knowing one of the members and how he balances about 7 different social scenes with the U of O, I am truly amazed with what they can do. They don't just use their voices but also their personalities which to me is one of the best parts when it comes to entertaining.

Painting elephants at the Oregon Zoo - 0 views

  •  
    Okay I am unsure if this qualifies as an art world or anything note worthy. I however thought it was fun and interesting. So I have always heard that animals could "create" art in various ways but i had never seen it. Through looking for another thing to post i stumbled upon this and thought id share! The link provided is to watch the oregon zoos elephants paint pictures that are largely better than what I could do. http://youtu.be/4KW5y7SmQq4
  •  
    That is a really fun video, I think these paintings could reflect different characteristic of the elephant, and their emotion while they painting, it is really amazing.

iPhone Alarm Gives You A Seat In A Global Orchestra - 1 views

  •  
    Wake Up With The World, an iPhone app by Pratt Institute MFA student Eric Rieper, can't solve the repetitive Pavlovian torture of being forced to wake up early every morning, but it can make the horrors of daily wake ups a more positive, communal experience. It's an alarm clock that syncs with other alarm clocks around the world, turning your phone into but one instrument in a global orchestra.

    this is so interesting. sometimes i can sleep through the common alarms so to have something this loud and different will for sure wake someone up and make them dread the morning even more.
  •  
    This is an amazing app and it is for free. As a student the alarm clock it is very useful to wake me up in the morning for school or to reminds me for a certain time to catch up my schedule. The problem is the normal sounds of alarm which can not wake me up sometimes, because I am get use to it and totally can ignore it. This app is use the orchestra to wake me up. It is great innovation.
  •  
    This is really clever! I like the idea of a world-wide, communal music experience. I may actually get this app!
  •  
    Thank you so much for sharing this information! Now, I can start my days with great music from all over the world!
  •  
    It can be very useful app and the app creator is so clever. I'm downloading it right now! thank you for useful info

    I really enjoy the video, it is amazing how those flat drawing on paper could look so three dimensional, all of the shading looks so realistic.The artist did a excellent job by cooperating subjects such as pen, desk into the drawing.
  •  
    lol, this is really an interesting porject, and I remembered that I did the same 3-d picture once like a few months ago. Those picture need unusual painting skills. It is hard, but is full of fun.
  •  
    3-D painting has become very popular and this is definitely one of the great video demonstrating it!!!

    I have been there before when it came to my country. It was so amazing but I was little bit scary because they are REAL!!
  •  
    I can't believe this is even a real thing. That would give me nightmares for weeks!
  •  
    I think I'm too afraid to see those real human body exhibition, but I'm impressed by the technique of plastination! It's very cool.
  •  
    Wow that looks so cool! Kind of creepy though haha I don't think I would want my body up there after I die.
  •  
    I agree that it is a little creepy but I think this is super cool. These body exhibitions are really interesting and fun to check out.
