Most of you already know that I am doing a sharism project
called 365 Sketches, in which I present one digital image a day made
using free and open source design software called Inkscape. The project
is chronicled at both http://365sketches.org and
http://facebook.com/365sketches
and in other places -- If you've not
heard of it, you're included here because I believe you might be
interested. (Sharism is discussed here:
http://freesouls.cc/essays/07-isaac-mao-sharism.html)
I also recently got the opportunity to present the work as a rotating
show (with Charles Viera) at Princeton Public Library (65 Witherspoon,
Princeton, NJ), produced by Janie Hermann, and sponsored by the
Princeton Arts Council. I gave a talk at the show's opening on the 21st
of June to discuss its origins, processes, and reasoning.

is a new, clean audio recording
from the talk synchronized with 160 brisk, clear, fully sized slides
from the talk. Try full screen mode for the best effect.
This is also a thank you note. Some of you were kind enough to attend
the show opening and talk, some of you were kind enough to suggest it
to others, and some of you mentioned that you were sorry to have missed
it. Many of you have been so generous as to have purchased sketches
from the show. Many of you were mentioned in the talk.
Please share this email or the video with anyone who you think might
enjoy it.
You should know that the PPL show is on the second floor, free, will be
changing over time, and will be up through the middle of September,
2010. I am showing alongside Charles Viera who I'm proud to share the
space with. Charles and I overlap in a lot of fun ways in content and
story, but are quite diverse in style and approach.
Special thanks to Janie Hermann and Maria Evans, both of whom made the
show possible. Thanks also to all of you for participating, if you have
or if you would.
