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.

Listen to the sounds on the golden record that NASA sent into space in 1977. The main page also has tons of other great space and space related sounds.

I have decided to share this, because of the impact that tiny desk concerts from NPR have made on today's music scene. Being able to share intimate performances in a digital space is incredible. I highly recommend perusing through their YouTube page and even subscribe on ITunes.

LOVE all of these guys. Great link !

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

I love the integration of technology with theater and dance. Liz Lerman in her Genome Project for Dance Exchange integrated dancers with projected images...it was very effective.

I do too. The interaction between the live and the pre-determined is very interesting to me. It also creates an interesting depth to the performance space.
