DevArt https://devart.withgoogle.com DevArt is art made with code, by developers that push the possibilities of creativity and technology. They use technology as the canvas and code as the raw materials to create innovative, engaging digital art installations. DevArt is the opportunity to open their creative process, share their art with the world and be a part of a new movement in art. POSTmatter http://postmatter.com/ POSTmatter is a magazine about modern life and culture in the digital age. Our primary focus is on contemporary art, looking at how emerging and established artists alike are being influenced by new technologies, and how they in turn are changing the ways in which we engage with these tools. We believe that the online experience can be just as meaningful as the offline one, and aim to reflect this by taking a more considered approach to digital publishing, favouring quality over quantity. We publish two issues a year, each based around a theme. These bring together essays, artist commissions, interviews, new fiction, mixtapes and multimedia experiments." Stanford Spatial History Project http://spatialhistory.stanford.edu The Spatial History Project at Stanford University is a place for a collaborative community of scholars to engage in creative spatial, textual and visual analysis to further research in the humanities. Our team is comprised of a diverse group of principal investigators, staff, research assistants, affiliates, and collaborators. Our projects operate outside of normal historical practice in five ways: they are collaborative, use visualization, depend on the use of computers, are open-ended, and have a conceptual focus on space. Our lab structure and culture is specifically designed to support the iterative nature of the spatial history research process where new questions and opportunities for further exploration frequently arise. Section Cut www.sectioncut.com The World, Filtered by Design-Savvy Humans. In the discipline of architecture, a section cut is an essential type of drawing; a single slice of a building. SC aims to be a web-parallel to this powerful drawing convention-in the same way that a drawing cuts through immense complexity to show a single moment, we aim to cut through the noise of the internet, straight to the good stuff. Our resources range from hardcore architectural theory texts to beautifully designed products to everyday support for practicing designers. Some items are available for purchases (about half), which is how we support our mission without gross banner ads. Every item in our curated marketplace - every tool or text - is contributed by a trustworthy Curator who will tell you why it's so essential. Art REsources Transfer http://www.artresourcestransfer.org/duc A.R.T. is convinced that public libraries matter and that the printed book plays a fundamental role in fostering education, lifelong learning, and social justice. We believe public libraries are cornerstones of democracy and equality and print collections fundamental to their vitality as public spaces and community resources. Yet, the physical presence of books is a necessary but not sufficient condition for literacy. In the coming years, A.R.T. is broadening its distribution service to include pedagogical materials that will enable books to be accessed and activated through conversation and shared habits of reading. Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here [film] trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA06E3li0Ak Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here portrays two of Russia's most celebrated international artists, now American citizens, as they come to terms with the new Russia. Two decades after he fled the Soviet Union, Ilya Kabakov overcomes his hears to create six art installations in venues throughout Moscow, where he was once forbidden to exhibit his art. Amidst the cacophony of a city and a country in dizzying transition, he comes face to face with the memories that have made him who he is.
