Teacher sets out to rekindle public’s math romance

Staci Matlock | The New Mexican
Posted: Monday, April 18, 2011 – 4/16/11

Math and I had a falling out a few years ago. OK, three decades ago.

It happens with relationships. One party changes faster than the other, and the two become incompatible.

We started out great. I loved math’s simple beauty, its irrefutable rules.

Then came algebra. And proofs. And really long equations.

Suddenly math was speaking in a language I couldn’t understand. We sought counseling with a math teacher, but it was too late. We grew apart and, I sought out math as rarely as possible.

Then I read about some guy who thought it was possible to make math “fun and accessible.” He started a blog, Wild About Math!, and last fall he began hosting a math group the third Wednesday of each month at the Santa Fe Complex (a place where brainy people work with math to create some incredible, even useful, things). more…

A Mashup of the MIT Media Lab, Eyebeam, and the Alamo

After he spoke at the Complex on his work with Siftables, Dave Merrill had a nice blog entry about his visit. He concludes his comments by writing, “The SFC’s ambition is to be bustling with projects, events and community outreach; they’re off to a good start, and it seems that there is some room to grow. In this sleepy, comfortable city of traditional fine art galleries and souvenir shops, the SFC’s offering seems like a vital contrast; the future of art and technology will emerge from places like this. I hope Santa Fe embraces this opportunity, turning this gusty experiment into a lasting institution.: Read the full blog here.

The UUUUT Experiment (< 65dB)

Greetings Sound Addicts,

Mark your calendars…The UUUUT Experiment (<65dB) returns on Sunday, Juuuune 21 at 8:00pm.

UUUUT is an experiment in making music through unstructured improvisation, the use of found objects, extended techniques, laptops, robotics and a projected decibel meter. All musicians, artists and sound addicts in general are welcome to participate or simply come and experience the event. The performance is free and open to the public.

There are no rules, save one: the overall sound pressure level should not exceed 65dB for any extended period (where the weakest sound heard is 0dB). A decibel meter will monitor the sound level and trigger a warning light visible to all participants if the threshold is exceeded. Otherwise, any instrument or sound-maker is allowed.

The UUUUT Experiment is sociological as much as it is musical, and results will most certainly be a function of the participants and audience members present. Any society has rules to prevent anarchy, chaos and to facilitate survival and perhaps progress. It has been suggested by others and has also been my experience, that “free” improvisation quite often leads to “walls of sound” or “painfully dense sound textures” that continue to the point of exhaustion by the perfomers or the listeners. While these sonorities can be interesting, it is not the direction anticipated in this project. The <65dB rule is intended to act as a sort of “rule of law,” to disuade musical “looting,” to encourage a sensitivity to the sound of others and to be more aware of the consensual sound being created. The measurable and objective nature of the rule precludes emphasizing the perceptions of any one individual. However, it has been my experience that within this quantifiable spectrum of dynamic range, the perceived range of human hearing is expanded to fill the entire sonic field.

The result of all this? A series of collaborative sound pieces: Un-authored, Un-claimed, Un-repeatable and perpetually dynamic. Visit http://www.philipmantione.com/uuuut.html for a detailed description, audio documentation, and list of past perfomers and their comments.

NOTE for Performers: Please bring extra mics, cables, adaptors and stands if you have them. Set-up starts at 6:30pm. THANKS!

See you on then!

N.B. – The title is inspired by a quote by percussionist Jamie Muir from the book Improvisation by Derek Bailey (pg.96), in which he talks about “Undiscovered/Unidentified/Unclaimed/Unexplored Territory…the future if only you can see it.” Muir uses an interesting metaphor of the antique shop (things already found), the junk store (things already collected) and the rubbish dump (neither found or collected, but actually rejected)…the latter yielding the most possibilities. It is reminiscent of the quote by Emerson: “… in every work of genius, one recognizes their own rejected ideas … they return with a sort of alienated majesty.”

Full Circle Guitar Comes to sfX

This event is canceled.

rosS Hamlin brings his students to Santa Fe Complex for an evening recital of their original songs on Thursday, January 8 at 7:00 pm. The performance is open to the public and there will be refreshments. rosS has been teaching guitar for over 17 years. A professional musician in a variety of contexts, I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1996 and moved to New Mexico in the Fall of 2004.

Emphasizing full-brain creativity, rosS’ teaching style is patient, detailed, innovative and most importantly, fun! He teaches guitar (rock, jazz, funk, classical, folk), electric bass, voice, composition, and music theory, in any combination desired. He specializes in an individual approach with his students, building lessons tahat are tailored to their individual goals. Regardless of skills and goals, however, rosS says they “all share a need for a supportive, safe, fun and challenging environment in which to grow. My goal is to explore more ways to provide this and continue to learn from everyone I encounter.” More information is available on his website.

Students of Santa Fe’s Full Circle Guitar will present an evening of all original songs for their family, friends and peers.

Algernon in Santa Fe

 

 

algernon.jpgChicago-based experimental/indie/rock group Algernon joins The Late Severa Wires and Gargamel in a fund-raiser for Santa Fe Complex on Wednesday, November 19 at 8:00 pm. Algernon creates a fusion of indie rock, jazz, and classical chamber music. The effect is that of a distinctly modern band, providing musical clues to our modern landscape. In the process, Algernon engulfs the listener in an entirely different world of its own making. With combined experience in genres from jazz to hard rock, from punk to classical, the band is well equipped to deliver on the promise. more…


sfX Project Cloud

Collaborative workspaces are the heart of the studio approach at Santa Fe Complex. Santa Fe is home to abundant talent in a variety of fields but, as small entrepreneurs, they tend to work in silos with little integration across or within fields. By offering a third space (the first and second spaces are home and work), sfX creates a dynamic opportunity to expand the impact of to these creative individuals. It is ideally suited to the City’s emphasis on targeted sectors as it encourages collaboration across fields of interest to create expanded opportunities for business development.

From Moravia with Love

Pioneering digital artist Woody Vasulka brings a retrospective exhibit and three work sessions to the complex in August and September. His show opens on Wednesday, August 13; his workshops will follow through the next month. The retrospective revisits a generation of “continual interaction within an art community,” according to Woody, which was lost as “the idea of realism slowly came to dominate art in the digital era.” The irrepressible artist believes the hyperrealistic phase is fading. He offers this exhibit as a bridge between the earlier period it represents and modern trends. Woody’s show begins at 5:00 pm.

Whiskey’s for Drinking

The acequias of Northern New Mexico create a rich network of physical and social features that extends back through the history of Spanish New Mexico to the Moors of North Africa and the Native Americans who independently conceived of moving water through the communal irrigation systems that survive today.

The information revolution can seem more like an algal bloom of data overwhelming us as we try to make sense of it all. We’re told it’s all part of a network, as though that makes the millions of web pages and trillions of data points understandable. The word has become part of popular culture, as we network in our jobs and social lives or join virtual communities like MySpace and LinkedIn to expand our physical networks exponentially. What is a network, really? And how do modern networks make sense of the bits of information flowing through them? This industrial strength blender will present an eclectic mix of speakers who will discuss their application of the network data model for various problems in academia and industry. more…
