I've just made a #p5js restoration of "Painting with Interactive Pixels", a 1998 Java app by @dagsvanaes.bsky.social in which each "ink" color has its own behavior. PIP influenced me greatly in '98 — and has not been viewable on the web in 20 years: golanlevin.github.io/pip/index.html

Calling all artists working in sculpture and spatial practice! We’re hiring two positions—a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Studio Art position and a sculpture lab tech who often works in our galleries so you get to learn about artworks like this 2023 installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.When Owen Mundy and I took positions at Davidson in 2016 after about 10 years at Florida State University, it was a smart decision. @davidsoncollege gives us both curricular flexibility and professional support to keep up with the times. The students are extraordinary.If you have any questions, please email the search chair Tyler Starr at tystarr@davidson.edu.Links to the calls in my bio. Asst Prof due November 1! I’d try to get the sculpture lab tech in a week earlier by midnight Sunday, October 19, an unofficial deadline, but when they’ll start a review.#academicpositions, #davidsoncollege, #sculpture, #sculptureartist, #spatialpractice, #3dart, #3dprint, #sculpturedepartment, #mfaView all comments
