It's About Time: Games-to-Teach Research Vision

Submitted by Betsey Merkel on Tue, 02/14/2006 - 00:26.
"Computer games have now been with us for over 30 years. The Atari 2600 is nearly 25 years old. Civilization is now nearly 10 years old. Yet, many Americans fail to recognize these complex achievements as more than fads or child's play. Ask most people what they think about video games, and many will respond that they're a waste of time..."

What does it take to build tomorrow's innovation zone?

An environment with diversity, creativity and endless opportunities to participate in new business mediums.

What is the ultimate meaning of art? Or Can you take “I can’t believe you can be so empty!” as a compliment?

Submitted by berlin on Mon, 02/13/2006 - 19:40.

I was listening to the tape of the Dalai Lama presentation on compassion. Initially the organizers wanted him to do the presentation about emptiness, which is one of the central concepts in Buddhism, but then they decided that it would be a very complicated topic. I spent some time thinking, why it is important to reach emptiness.

Nam June Paik, Remembering the Career of a Great Artist

Submitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 02/01/2006 - 12:22.

 

It is only fitting for Realneo users to take some time to remember the artist Nam June Paik. In his 73 years, his ground breaking work changed art and the world. In the 60s he was the first artist to make media his medium. He is widely considered the inventor of video art. He is also credited with coining the familiar phrases "information super highway" and the "future is now." If you have visited the current exhibition at MOCA, All Digital, it was Paik who led the way and made it possible.
