New Interactive Video Installation at Provocative Objects

Scott — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:47:11 +0000

I’ll have a new interactive video installation titled “You’re In” at the Provocative Objects art show tomorrow evening (Friday, one night only) at MassArt.

This will not be a normal art show, with wine and cheese and refined citizenry. Expect to be provoked (for both good and ill). It will be challenging and hilarious and weird and uncomfortable, and I think it will also be awesome.

Details here!

Hope you can make it!

When is Good is one of my all-time favorite web tools, making it super easy to find a good time to schedule a group meeting. They published a fascinating paper last year, sharing the most interesting findings from the aggregate data of user’s schedules, including:

Event invitations are most likely to be accepted for a Tuesday at 3pm.
…on average only three or four people out of ten will be available at any given time.
