I gave a lecture on "The Body of Iranian Contemporary Art" as a part of the "Shared Cultural Spaces" conference held at the University of Minnesota in February 2011, using the the prezi.com Prezi presentation below.  

I am indebted to the community of artists, some of whose work are included in this lecture, for providing me with the material and inspiration to pursue this research.

Ray Kampmeier (undergraduate EECS student at UMN) and I are working on a robust and complete solution for working with Digi's Xbee modules and Max.

Working with 2.5 Series radios, the present pre-alpha version allows for sending remote messages to a remote-wireless xbee (configured as AT Router/Endpoint) and local-USB-connected xbee  (configured as API coordinator).  

My XBee Playground Blog shows a record of our progress, while this post includes links to the necessary Max patches and XBee profiles.  

More coming soon.....

Below, a document containing an exhustive listing of the "Review of Press" for the 2008 and 2010 ZERO 1 New Media Biennial.  The festival was covered by dozens of local, national and internationl channels. 

I took MAW to ZERO 1 in 2008 for a number of urban interventions (see videos here).  In 2010, MAW and I were commissioned to produce a new work for Absolute Zero: Lavish Martyr/Exquisite Corpse by ZERO 1 and performed in San Jose on Sep. 17th, 2010.

Many thanks to ZERO 1 for sharing these document.
