Hamilton Hijinks @ the National Portrait Gallery

Security only came over once to question our antics, but we didn’t get thrown out, so all-in-all I consider this endeavor a SUCCESS!

I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to catch a bulbasaur

Trevor Noah made these comments hours before the shooting in Dallas, but in light of the events, it has become even more relevant.

Two of the best things to have come out of post-Taliban Afghanistan came together today in the Kabul neighbourhood of Kart-e Char. Six-year-old Zari, Afghanistan’s very own Sesame Street character, visited the Afghan National Institute of Music and was given demonstrations by students on piano, recorder and the traditional Afghan string instrument, the rubab. The two represent many of the things the ideologues of the insurgent movement outlawed during their six year rule in the late 1990s: the education of girls, music and freedom of thinking. While the modern Taliban is too fractured to colour all its factions with the same brush, it’s fair to say that the group’s core leadership would hope to reinstate such laws should they ever return to power.

#GAME4HAM

Ahh, here is a project that snowballed out of control. I only wanted to draw Hamilton on the mario super star (he’s non-stop, geddit? geddit?), but then decided to turn the whole show into a SNES video game cause I’m crazy like that. There’s four parts to this and I’ll post one a day (I’m still tweaking the ends). 

Part 1 of 4: Please click on the pics for descriptions/mission for each game.

edit: if the captions are not working (thanks tumblr), here they are:

Start Page

Eye of the Hurricane: Help Hamilton escape the hurricane but make sure he collects his books along the way!

Cut Scene: New York bound

BATTLE! Farmer Refuted: Oh my god, tear that dude apart. Help Hamilton call for a revolution in this screaming match against Samuel Seabury!

Cut Scene: Rise up!

Here Comes the General: Thirty-two thousand troops are in New York harbour! Fight your way across as George Washington. Watch out for the incoming BOOM!!!

Yo Let’s Steal their Cannons: Race against time with Hamilton and Hercules Mulligan (interchangeable leads) and steal all the British cannons before dawn!

Winter Ball of 1780, Level 1: Grind to the rhythm as Eliza Schuyler. Follow the steps correctly to help her dance her way across the hall to meet the handsome Mr. Hamilton!

Rewind!!! Winter Ball of 1780, Level 2: Uh-oh! Do you remember that night? Retrace all your steps and dance again as Angelica Schuyler.

The cast of HAMILTON for Rolling Stone

“It is quite literally taking the history that someone has tried to exclude us from and reclaiming it,” says Leslie Odom Jr., who comes close to stealing the show with his turn as Hamilton killer Aaron Burr. “We are saying we have the right to tell it too.”

“And then what sustains our relationship is I’m extremely happy with her, and part of it has to do with the fact that she is at once completely familiar to me, so that I can be myself and she knows me very well and I trust her completely, but at the same time she is also a complete mystery to me in some ways. And there are times when we are lying in bed and I look over and sort of have a start. Because I realize here is this other person who is separate and different and has different memories and backgrounds and thoughts and feelings. It’s that tension between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because, even as you build a life of trust and comfort and mutual support, you retain some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person.”

I assumed this had to be fake because, like, of course Trump is awful, but the internet is also really good at making up things that make awful people look more awful. But, nope, Trump is celebrating Cinco De Mayo and his love of “Hispanics” by eating a fictional taco bowl surrounded by his own trophies.

A FLYING PANTOGRAPH

Project from MIT Fluid Interfaces lets you control a drone with a pen to draw on a surface:

We explore an art form where machines take essential role in aesthetics and processes of the creation. Our main theme can be summarized as “body, hybrid, and “evolve” - as we study an artistic medium that incorporates mechanical machines that institutes a hybrid creation process as well as an expressive capacity beyond body limits. “Flying Pantograph” transposes human-scale drawing acts to a physically remote output canvas in different scales and aesthetics. A drone becomes an “expression agent” - modified to carry a pen and be controlled by human motions, then carries out the actual process of drawing on a vertical wall. Not only mechanically extending a human artist, the drone plays a crucial part of the expression as its own motion dynamics and software intelligence add new visual language to the art. This agency forms a strong link between a human artist and the canvas, however, in the same time, is a deliberate programmatic disconnect that offers space for exploiting machine aesthetics as a core expression medium. The seemingly straightforward technical realization is in fact a combination of non-trivial mechanical and algorithmic solutions. The drone, a floating machine, is relying on a slim chance of stabilization acquired by battling the vortex of air, the pressure and friction on the canvas surface, and the capricious mind of the human artist. This suspense, the vulnerability to instability and the aftermath of crashing, poses a contrast with the optimistic idea of technologically evolved capability of a human artist.
