TED: Aparna Rao and hi-tech art

Another great TED keynote. This time on the use of complex technology as a tool to creating dynamic artworks. Really great stuff in this, look forward to seeing where this thinking will take them.

Ariel Walden on Hacking Space

Here is founder of spacehack.org, Ariel Walden, presents a rather interesting talk on the possibilities of a more open source space/science community, taking the exclusivity of the field from governments and placing it into the hands of everyday people, whilst still helping to advance science and exploration.

It’s all very inspiring stuff and I’ve only manage to have a brief poke around the website, but man, I do love the thinking behind all these crowd sourcing projects lately.
