Did you know that Mission School artist Chris Johanson grew up in the suburbs of San Jose? Johanson will be included in Project Los Altos, SFMOMA’s upcoming exhibition in Silicon Valley. Throughout the downtown area, he will install several outdoor sculptures, one of which is a twenty-foot-tall inflatable question mark (the preliminary sketch for which is above, and we posted a GIF of it being installed earlier today). See the show for yourself starting next weekend!

CIVIC INNOVATION: IT'S TIME TO HACK SAN FRANCISCO

In an article titled "Let's Activate Idle Buildings", Eisenhart provides a solid who's who of San Francisco's civic hacking movement. For those unfamiliar, civic hackers are members of the community who work together to improve their neighborhoods, greater city, and government. They work faster and more creatively than government-funded groups, and are responsible for tactical urbanism stunts from prototyping festivals to yarn bombing and parklets. "Operating at the intersection of community mobilization, entrepreneurialism, space experimentation, and artistic expression, [civic hackers] have launched urban-revitalization efforts that are quite diverse," Eisenhart writes. Here are five ways you can start transforming San Francisco into your urban oasis, (compliments of Eisenhart's article):

Share your ideas for making your neighborhood better

Read up on civic hacking

Attend a hackathon, an unhackathon (yes, there’s such a thing), a SPUR event, or a Better Market Street workshop

Put those tech skills to good civic use in one of Code for America’s programs

Learn how to secure and activate an idle building

While we brainstorm ways to hack San Francisco and transform vacant buildings into artist studios, check out Eisenhart's article in it's entirety at The Bold Italic.
