Van Gogh painted two version of this infamous "Bedroom in Arles". Thanks for a recent technology called "X-ray fluorescence", the original colors of the paintings can be seen for the first time.

This is amazing! "He described it in a letter to his brother Theo: "I have painted the walls pale violet. The ground with checked material. The wooden bed and the chairs, yellow like fresh butter; the sheet and the pillows, lemon light green. The bedspread, scarlet coloured. The window, green. The washbasin, orangey; the tank, blue. The doors, lilac. And, that is all." "Casadio said Van Gogh had a room ready for Gauguin and he had worked for weeks to decorate the walls with art. "In the myriad letters he wrote to his brother Theo and friends, he said the color has to do the job here," she said. "When he was finished he slept for two days." And now there is an Air BnB where you can stay in his room! ( I'll post about it!) I'm in, he's a favorite of mine! Great post, thanks!

Digital technology is enabling people in Cuba to express themselves through film.

Daniel Levitin is the Author of "This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession". He is a musician and neuroscientist and this post is him giving a talk about his research and book at Microsoft Research. One of his main premises from his research is that music may be more fundamental to humans than language.

This is a very riveting talk. I didn't come away with the idea that music might be more fundamental to humans than language, but that music is fundamental, as is language, and that each of us is a musical expert, if not expert performers!

I have continued thinking about this topic...Levitin also intimated that musical capacity is similar to language acquisition in that there is a window of time in which that capacity needs to be triggered in order for fluency in music to be attained. The window for language acquisition is birth to puberty. If your language capacity is not triggered within this time frame, you can't learn to speak as we understand speech. I wonder if this is really true of musical capacity...perhaps, but perhaps not in the way that it is of language. Of course they massive amounts of research have been applied to the question of language.

"In advance of the responsive orchestra website review later this week, it makes sense to provide a working example of not only what responsive design is, but why it is a necessary component for contemporary performing arts org web design." Drew McManus provides a compelling example of how easy it is, and how crucial it is for arts organizations, to create better websites. He shows how one was designed in 13 days for only $500.

my sincerest apologies or this being in French, though I think you can view an English version... Ircam is internationally known as THE contemporary music research center... it's place in combining music in technology in the classical world is irreproachable.

3D Printing is all the rage in hacker spaces around the world. Some people claim that 3D printers will be in every home within a few decades. To learn more about 3D printing in general try this wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing. But these folks at Bathsheba have refined a 3D metal printing process to make some really interesting art, the technique link describes their process. I purchased a ring at the New York makers fair that was made with a 3D printer and cast in bronze using the lost wax process: http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/process/cast.html

On U2's 2015 tour, the jem of their stage was the "video cage"; two massive video boards spanning the length of their two stages (linked by a walkway). Whether you are a U2 fan or not, the stage is pretty remarkable. A clip of the screen in action can be found here (start at the 3:30 minute point): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YylDq4BlkRI

Visual News is a wonderful website collecting unique and interesting collections of art. This particular piece features photographs of abandoned NASA stations and offices, offering a unique glimpse into America's space age.

"So you can thank photographer Roland Miller, who, for 25 years, has traveled to more than 15 NASA launch and research sites across the country to document their current state." Wow, so beautiful and sad... and i think we will only see more of this. Thanks for posting.

The Whitney Biennial offers an insightful and introspective look at culture and society in 2017 through its various themed collections. Instillations commenting on the social-media-obsession and paintings illuminate issues of censorship scattered throughout the exhibition. Controversial topics like police brutality and student debt are also tackled in art pieces, such as the series of works on debt by Occupy Museums and THE TIMES THAY AIN'T CHANGING, FAST ENOUGH! piece by Henry Taylor on the fifth and six floors respectively.

Lego created their film using CG animation based on stop-motion. Technology meeting childhood toys meeting film.

This was really interesting to me not only because Lego has suddenly taken over my son, body and soul, but also because I am fascinated with the practice of using new, cutting edge technology to make new stuff look old. Amazing! Thanks for posting, really fun to know how it's done!

Researchers at Johns Hopkins conducted a study on the neuroscience of creativity and our response to art. They have established a new field called "neuroaesthetics." The BSI website is really a thing of beauty: http://www.brainscienceinstitute.org/

Very interesting, it seems to me that these scientists are looking beyond the aesthetics of art towards it use as language or even medicinal. Look at an Escher and a Klimt and call me in the morning :)

The ability to create art and to think creatively is something that truly sets us apart yet they still know so very little about how it occurs in the brain. What exciting and important research!

This discussion-based blog explores the intersection of arts management and online technology. Technology in the Arts is a service of Carnegie Mellon's Center for Arts Management and Technology.

Read about how Jessica Wilt learned to use social media to enhance her connectivity with the arts community; hopefully others within the arts community will learn from her experience. "For whatever reason people, especially in the arts and culture sectors, remain fearful of using technology and social media in a way that enhances communication. I hope my example of effectively utilizing Twitter demonstrates how social media can play a crucial role connecting communities by sharing information and ideas with others in the field."
