A Few More Slots Remaining for Comparative Anatomy: Animals and the Fundamentals of Drawing Weekend Workshop with Chris Muller, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, May 5 & 6, Observatory
Posted on May 3rd, 2012 • Filed under Learn • No Comments
Hi all! we have just a few more slots for Chris Muller’s upcoming comparative anatomy drawing class; full info follows. If interested in attending, shoot me an email at morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com.
Comparative Anatomy: Animals and the Fundamentals of Drawing Weekend Workshop
A weekend workshop with Chris Muller, NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts
Dates: Saturday May 5 & Sunday May 6
Time: 1 – 4 PM
Fee: $75 (includes museum admission)
*** Class size limited to 15; Must RSVP to morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com
This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy
Using animal and human anatomy as a jumping off point, this course will look at the ground-level, first principles of drawing as representation. Focusing mainly on mammal anatomy, we’ll look at the basic shared forms between humans and other animals, how these forms dictate movement, and how to express those forms.
Saturday’s class will be held at Observatory, where with the aid of several skeletons we’ll look at basic structures, sprinkling our exploration with odd facts and observations. Messy investigatory drawings will ensue.
Sunday’s class will be a field trip to the American Museum of Natural History, where applying the principles of Saturday’s class we’ll create beautiful drawings of the animals on display. Then, mastery attained, we will stride forth into the world, better artists and better people.
Materials
Saturday
- Sketchbook or sketchpad, 11 X 14 or larger
- B and HB pencils
- Colored pencils, in the reds and blues and browns
- Hand pencil sharpener

This Week on Rhizome Community Boards: IHSE, Jobs, Opportunities, and More
Posted on March 1st, 2012 • Filed under Look • No Comments
Recently added to the Artbase: IHSE by Esther Hunziker
IHSE is a series of autonomous architectural buildings. Each photo shows a geometric figure, which overrides the forms of classical architecture. There is no roof nor a base, no top or bottom. The buildings float in the void. Architecture which looks like concrete capsules through which one can move into a different space-time continuum. The interactive online version of the photo series IHSE, responds to the mouse movements of the user. You hear a spherical, meditative sound in the background. Architectural buildings float slowly in empty space and endlessly multiply themselves out of themselves. They grow to a certain size until they divide into two. By moving the mouse the user can intervene in this process, slow down or accelerate the growth and turnaround the direction of the IHSE travel.

What Humans Want: More Domestic Robots [STUDY]
Posted on January 31st, 2012 • Filed under Learn • No Comments
People would like to have their own Rosie the Robot — think The Jetsons — and would even borrow money to buy a robot that could complete domestic chores.
A survey from the marketing analytics firm Persuadable Research shows that 68% of people surveyed would like to use a robot for domestic purposes such as cleaning windows, washing dishes and doing laundry. “Moving things” topped the list of desired robot tasks, with 55% of respondents saying they would like a ‘bot to help with this chore.
Others said they would like a robot to act as personal assistant, reminding them of appointments and errands to run. Also, babysitting children or the elderly was a task many people would like to designate to a robot.
The majority of survey respondents said they’d want a robot that looked human-like, with a voice that was neither masculine nor feminine, and with customizable features.
Thirteen percent of people who said they would pay for such a robot said they would fork over more than $15,000. But the majority said that they’d pay a maximum of $999.
The fantasy of a robot to take your place at work or complete difficult tasks is an idea that people began tinkering with decades ago.
Scientists and researchers are already creating and perfecting robots to do dangerous work, for example enter war zones or demolished buildings. Some robots can already be used for environmental monitoring.
Robot owners can already activate their machines from remote computers with MyRobots, a self-described “Facebook for robots.” Which is kind of like messaging your very own Rosie the Robot and asking her what she’s doing at that moment. Some robots can even mimic your emotions.
But there’s yet to be an all-in-one, chore-completing, personal assistant robot. For now, though, the Roomba can let you check “clean floors” off your to-do list.
Would you like a robot to help you with tasks? What would you have it do and how much would you be willing to pay for it? Tell us in the comments.
