The Creators Project | James Powderly The Creators Project: So, James, how do you define your job? It seems to defy categorization. James Powderly: I guess I’m a designer, somewhere between an artist and an engineer. It sounds like you have a dream gig, but where do you get the funds to realize these types of projects? Evan Roth [another member of the EyeWriter team] and I began working together because we secured an art residency in New York City at a place called Eyebeam. What do you mean by “fake”? Well, we actually don’t have a physical lab in a specific location; we just have the website. How did someone with your skill set choose creating artistic technology instead of making weapons or equally menacing objects? I think it’s safe to say that when you reach a certain amount of technical capability you can make whatever you envision. Can you briefly explain how the EyeWriter works? Basically there’s a camera pointed at the user’s eye.

La Tortilleria LE FOURQUET Gourmet, Fashion & Lifestyle Magazine Client: Grupo Milenio Mexico CIty Issue No. 19 Art Direction & Editorial Design by La Tortillería Collages by Ashkan Honarvar - © Copyright - La Tortillería Natural scenery 20 beautiful night shot to appreciate Here's Why the Banksy Movie Is a Banksy Prank In the summer of 2008, I saw an article in the LA Weekly about a massive street art show mounting in L.A. named Life is Beautiful. On the outset the show seemed ambitiously cool. The 125,000-square-foot show was being staged in CBS' abandoned Columbia Square Studios, a massive modern office complex where I Love Lucy was filmed.
