...transition from the television screen to the silver screen will be subject to the usual scrutiny: how does a movie studio condense a long-running TV show into a two-hour film that does the original series justice? For the live-action films of “Dragonball Z” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” however, casting decisions have provoked another, more sensitive issue. In company with well-known comic artists Gene Yang and Derek Kirk Kim, and many other fans and professionals worldwide, one writer at theasianeconomist.com addresses the casting of Caucasian...
...inaugural colloquium, Eric Rosenbaum, a researcher at MIT, presented an interactive demonstration of technology that takes light from objects and overexposes it in real time. The technique allowed audience members to use anything that emitted light to “paint” an image projected onto a screen.“It’s quite remarkable how a technology like that can transform the way people see themselves,” Croft says. “Suddenly people can be artists in a very real sense.”At the most recent colloquium, which was held...
...intelligent dialogue about race, but ends up creating a misguided After School Special.

...sensuous wife. Others are produced as parts of multiscreen installations in which eight or more unfurl simultaneously on all four gallery walls. So in 7 Fragments for Georges Mlis, his semicomical riff on the artist in his studio, we see Kentridge climbing a ladder on one screen (and tumbling down), pacing on another and ripping apart a life-size drawing of himself on yet another...
...Francisco show, which was organized by Mark Rosenthal, a curator at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Fla., climaxes with a multiscreen gallery of films connected to that production. The nose climbs a ladder in silhouette (and tumbles down); a Cossack dances. On another screen are abject snippets from the 1937 trial transcript of Nikolai Bukharin, one of the multitude of old Bolshevik leaders devoured by Stalin. It's too soon to know how Kentridge will connect all this into a coherent production. But there won't be a diamond-crusted skull or a mirror-steel bling...
