It’s human nature: Elections and disinformation go hand-in-hand. We idealize the competition of ideas and the process of debate while we listen to the whisper campaigns telling us of the skeletons in the other candidate’s closet. Or, we can learn from serious journalism to tap into the growing number of digital tools at hand and see what is really going on in this fall’s campaigns. Join journalist Tom Johnson for a three-part workshop at Santa Fe Complex to learn how you can be your own investigative reporter and get ready for that special Tuesday in November. more…

Scanning the Horizon and More

Three-dimensions are the rage in this fall’s movie line-up.

Rewrite History

September 15, 2008
6:00 pm	to	8:00 pm

We can expect the electoral campaign season to be filled with the usual rewrites of history, similar to the recent New York Times story on the rewrite of Sarah Palin’s wikipedia page. WikiScanner creator Virgil Griffith (also known as Romanpoet in the hacker community) will offer his analysis of the various ways people and corporations try to rewrite history–or, at least, their Wikipedia pages–on September 15 at 6:00 at Santa Fe Complex. Admissionis free but a $5.00 contribution is suggested to help defer the costs of the event. more…

Woody Vasulka finishes his retrospective at Santa Fe Complex with the second conversation on the changing relationship between art and technology over his 40-year career, each decade of which represents a distinct phase in the evolution of that relationship, says Vasulka. “It has been a dialogue with the machine that began in the political environment of the 60s with a time of continual interaction within an art community,” he explains. The first conversationwill occur at Santa Fe Complex at 6:00 on August 27. Vasulka will return for the second talk a week later on September 9. more…
