Swimming Against the Flow

Presidential debates; vice presidents, too; ads, emails and web pages: claims and counterclaims abound. Come to this second workshop at Santa Fe Complex to learn how to look beyond the scripts and see what is really going on this this fall’s campaigns.

Learn how to swim against the flow, by navigating upstream through the flood of information around us to find where the information comes from and investigating its accuracy in this second of the Three Tuesdays workshops before November’s elections.

Scanning the Horizon and More

Three-dimensions are the rage in this fall’s movie line-up. They’re also increasingly important in historical, archeological and paleontological research, as we’ve seen in three prior blenders at Santa Fe Complex. We continue our series on Stereo-Computational Photography with an in-depth look at 3D laser scanning in modern research. Read more

Rewrite History

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. Read more
