Off Book: Type Video on PBS
Listening to graphic designers and type design experts talk about how and why they use certain type treatments is music to our ears, and makes for a fascinating viewing.

Wonderful insights from all the designers included.

Sebastian Verdon's Installation at Polyforum Siqueiros
When done right, interactive installation art can be captivating and amazingly eye-opening as it brings into consciousness the many complex nuances of the relationship between art viewer and art object. One particular artist that comes to mind is Bruce Nauman. Nauman's various corridor installations manipulate and direct the viewer through an experience that will likely leave them with a fresh and widened perspective (assuming that the art viewer is open to such revelations)

New Book: Skinner "Every Man Is My Enemy"
Our good friend and killer artist, Sacramento-based Skinner, just released a new book through Gingko Press and Zerofriends, Every Man Is My Enemy. Besides the great collection of works in the book, there is an incredible quote from Skinner's high school art teacher, Larry Alberts: "Skinner is a psychopathic psycho, that's the worst kind you know...". That is a compliment.
