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.

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

it is cool video about talking what is art.

Thank you! That was hilarious, but at the same time... thought provoking. I very much agree that art needs to elicit an emotional response or a narrative. It's got to move the viewer in some way...as far as I'm concerned, anyway. And who doesn't love Creature Comforts?

That's an awsome video about what art is! I like the way how this video describe what art is and the relationship between we and art. It makes me start thinking about virous posible way to creat art!

"Instantly hailed as the most important structure of its time, Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has celebrated more than a decade of extraordinary success. With over a hundred exhibitions and more than ten million visitors to its credit, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has changed the way people think about museums, and it continues to challenge assumptions about the connections between art, architecture, and collecting."

Portland Saturday Market is celebrating its 41st year in the historic Old Town/ Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.  Our weekly market features 252 booths showcasing a variety of arts & crafts sold by local Pacific Northwest artisans. Established in 1976, our market has a thriving membership of over 300 artisans.  "Every Saturday and Sunday from March through Christmas Eve the Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood transforms into a thriving arts and crafts open-air marketplace. Seeing the Market's staff delegate booth spaces with precision each weekend for so many years, most of the neighborhood has come to think of Portland Saturday Market as a business like any other. But it certainly was not always that way, and some surprising elements still lie at the core of this unusual non-profit operation."

I love this! I love farmer's market, but this is more than just a farmer's market. It has many crafted art and different artists participated. It also create a lot of energy in downtown during Saturday morning. Kind of feel more like a big local gathering.

Shapeways has been around for a few years and has gained a lot of traction since 3D printing has gotten more common. It lets 3D artists upload their 3D model and sell it in a variety of materials to whoever wants it. It's sort of like Etsy of 3D printing, except the artist designs it and Shapeways processes the customer's payment, 3D prints it, and ships it. The artist gets some money and Shapeways probably gets more, but they have really high-caliber 3D printers so that's okay. They can also cast your model in metals, including gold and silver, which is something that can't be done yet with a home 3D printer.

From Nike's project, we can see that even though they have successfully sold their products to people. Nevertheless, when shoes got beat up, people usually just throw it away. Fortunately, Nike has collected shoes for reuse and build couple public facility. This is type of work that working with community and society, which we talked about during the lecture.

I think this is a great idea. I would love to know more about it. There is not much other information about it on the internet besides what is in the video. Does anyone know if Nike donates these courts or fields? That would be a great way to give back to the community.

I really like this a lot. This is good for Nike public relations wise and it is smart economically as well. Nike being a progressive company is a positive for everyone involved.

Since its debut in October 2007, Createquity has been hailed as "revolutionary," "must-read," "important," "lively," "thorough," and "so amazingly good it's almost in its own category of resource" by readers across the web. A unique virtual think tank exploring the intersection of the arts with a wide range of topics including politics, economics, philanthropy, leadership, research, and urban planning, Createquity is a hub for next-generation ideas on the role of the arts in a creative society.

Here is the website from CNN.com, which provides tons of art works and performance. With these, it may allow us to explore more what we seek to define Art World.

This site is great! Found myself browsing for a while and enjoyed all of the different types of dance and art that it supplied. The range of style and background is entertaining and I was able to use this as inspiration for a possible art world.

This is very useful website to search and find the performances. Yet is it also reports news from a expand world narrative not just a art performance. It is definitely can help me to write the assignment next week to define an art world.

This website is half English, half Japanese so it might be difficult for some of you to explore this website... but CHECK OUT his very unique and creative drawings under [GALLERY] on the left side of the Home page.

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!!!

At the heart of Portland's popular culture for more than a century, the Rose Festival has its roots in tradition, with inspired programming that embraces both the contemporary and the nostalgic. Visionary city leaders started the festival during the first decade of the 20th Century to put Portland on the map and brand it "the summer capital of the world."

I saw this website earlier in the year, but remembered it and wanted to share it with the class. Bryan Saunders decided one day that he wanted to create at least one self portrait everyday for the rest of his life, and so far he has completed over 8,000 of them. On his website he has created six different sections for his portraits based on similar themes, so pick a theme and prepare to be wow-ed.

is one of Duchamp's most famous works and is widely seen as an icon of twentieth-century art. It consisted of a standard urinal, laid flat on its back rather than upright in its usual position, and signed 'R. Mutt 1917'. Shows that literally anything can be art, it just depends who's eyes and minds are open.

Fractured Atlas empowers artists, arts organizations, and other cultural sector stakeholders by eliminating practical barriers to artistic expression, so as to foster a more agile and resilient cultural ecosystem.

Fractured Atlas looks like an amazing organization, John. Talking about it class today really piqued my curiosity. I've never heard of it and am going to look more into it.

Annual Outdoor Quilt Show and Benefit for Strengthening Rural Families in Benton County - Live music, 80-110 quilts shown at Sweet Earth Vineyard in Monroe, Oregon (off hwy 99 halfway between U of O and OSU) Labor Day Weekend

I had no idea that there were events such as quilt showings! It really heightens my attention because I would love to go to an event such as this. It really reminds me that quilts really are pieces of arts. Not only in the way they are made but how they are displayed as well. It looked absolutely gorgeous looking at the pictures of the quilts hanging in the vineyard. This post and event really touches me personally because my grandmother loved to quilt and maybe I could be able to show one of her quilts one day adding my families culture and traditions to the world.

This is programs is mainly designed as summer and after school programs about science here in Eugene, Oregon. Not only does it teach kids about science and nature but it combines that with art projects such as taking plants and other objects from the forest and creating sculptures out of them. It is a great example of not only art education but the interrelations involved in arts as well.

I just downloaded it am going to play with it. Looks like a lot of fun and a offers the possibility of collaboration between people with different art interests. Thanks for sharing!

The site is billed as a "studio space where you can collage the internet." It's a relatively easy tool for combining your favorite Web objects - images, GIFs, video, audio - into one gloriously insane digital mashup.

About Found Objects Claire Randall, shadow box artist and wife and mother of three, must choose between her old traditional family life or a new creative life made possible by her family's house fire and her new living arrangement: a motel. Watch the trailer. http://foundobjectsfilm.com/about/found-objects-movie-trailer/

This was an absolutely incredible experience. Watching the trailer opened my eyes to how a fire could affect a family and the emotions from the film really hit me hard especially when they were searching through the rubble trying to find things to salvage and the look on their faces. I found it interesting that she was finding herself and creativeness through the shadow boxes after the fire "freed" her from the duties of being domestic wife. It also illustrates the struggles a family if one wants to have a creative, art filled life and still lead a traditional family life. I cannot wait to watch the entire movie when it comes out. For me the film raises the questions: do we really need a traditional family in this day and age to feel complete and how does our relationships affect the "true" you?

California's Country Music Festival. April 25-27, 2014 Stagecoach is a very well known country music festival that is actually taking place this weekend. I personally have always wanted to attend as I love country music, but my friends go every year and say it is a blast! I would highly recommend looking into this fun event if you also enjoy country music and entertaining festivals.

great festival. Always sells out and a great stage for up and coming artists to get an opportunity to showcase talents. Festival always does a good job of giving a great variety of country music

Stage Coach is a Country Music Festival located in Southern California. Thousands of people travel across the world to attend this event. Stage Coach is my favorite music festival. I have attended Stage Coach for the last five years this is the first year I'm not going. Stage Coach took place for the first time in 2007 and ever since then it has been an extremely popular event to attend to.
