...computer software registers a streak of light (see the equipment). The artists have pointed their projectors at everything from bridges in New York City to miniature pyramids in Italy, high-rises in Hong Kong and snow-covered mountains just a few miles away from the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Video of their work can be seen until May 12 in the current MoMA exhibit "Design and the Elastic Mind," an exhibition that kicked off with a live Graffiti Research Lab demonstration at the opening night reception...
...Analysis of hair has always been a good way of telling what's going on in the body that grew it, but now it's being used more creatively than ever by forensic scientists, such as James Ehleringer and Thure Cerling, two University of Utah professors.
