The other half of this project is to follow my partners instructions and perform it and document it. Following my partners directions for the Chance Encounters Project, listed on Sam Stollerman's Blog. I tweaked the rules a bit and I involved several friends to participate last Friday, at a party at my house. We used a spinner and came up with a list of animals 1-5. The order of body parts went from top-to-bottom, starting with the head, torso, adding arms, then legs and finally, tails. The second spin was to determine how many of each body part the animal would be drawn. The torso was the only part of the body that didn't get a second spin, so the animal only got one torso. It was super fun! The Party was off and running after this activity! Thanks, Sam!
Here is the product of the unholy Frankenstein-Dr.Moreua-like creature we created using the chance rules. I loved it so much that I started a follow up project. I started a painting from this collaborative drawing. More updates coming soon!
I'm always cold. I am cold on my face and my feet. I'm on my bike and a sudden wind hits and my hands are cold, my face gets cold. Or I'm drawing or on the computer I'm having a good flow and i'm but I don't want to stop and put on gloves or a sweater. Also when i get out of the shower I'd warm up so fast! So I want a way that i can grow fur on command so that I get instantly warm. These are the preliminary sketches of what it might look like.
Soft fuzz to cat-like fur starts to grow on my arms and face. Then when i'm warmed up again it can retract. I'm gonna save so much time!
My Friend Lili helped out with the videography and stills for the Chance Encounters assignment. And other friends participated. We added our pop culture flavor since we're big Stranger Things fans.
Set up for Chance Operations Project
Instructions:
1. Set up large paper pad or loose paper on a clear wall. Gather pencils, brushes, and whichever desired media to draw or paint with.
2. Set up a projector to project onto the paper. (alternative; large TV and Slide see-through sheets)
3. Go to Stumbleupon.com log in or create a free account. Click on the "photos" tab in the top menu
this will be the photo source for the projections.
4. Set a timer for 1-5 minutes, depending on how much time you’d like to do each session. I started with 1-2 minute sessions and then increased the time.
5. Start the timer then start click “Stumble” on the webpage and then trace the image that is being projected onto the piece of paper. When the timer stops click stumble again to get a different image and trace that one either superimposed or fill up the paper completely with images.
6. Lastly, turn off the projector and admire your collage drawing!

The possibility to move water or objects with your mind, that's sci-fi nerdy stuff only in the movies or comics! Not anymore!!
Lisa Park is doing it now with an enhancement headset. It's set to read her brain vibrations and she's using an "EEG headset to measure my brain activities and translate the data into sound waves that vibrated the five dishes of water sitting atop speakers – visually and audibly expressing my state of consciousness....The intensity of the sounds mirrored the intensity of my current emotions detected by the EEG. As a result, the water responded, in real time, with different formations of ripples and droplets in unpredictable patterns. "

The article on her in the Creators Project Magazine was the first time I found out about her.
You've Heard of Them in the Closet But Skeletons in the Petri Dish? Amy Karle is an artist that works with DNA and 3D printers to simulate human bones and recreate them to look more aesthetically pleasing. She's a local artist in San Francisco that was serving as the artist in residence at Pier 9. There she's come up witht the possibility to recreate human skeletons via 3d printing and the results are stunning!
She claims that the potential use of these designer bones could bring a new wave of fashionable modifiable body parts. The physical body is not just a creation of nature, she's optimistic about the possibilities of science and art making discoveries for medical discoveries.
The Inventor and biohacker Amal Graafstra, Founder of Dangerous Things Website provides a safe way to Biohack yourself. He's the innovator that made the chip implant to enable the automatic door unlocker. It's a convenience that he was interested in since the early 2000's. He took the technology from the locator chip for pets one step further. It's a form of cyborgic treatment that serves a specific everyday purpose. It's a simple and cheap implant, the Dangerous Things site sells kits so the average person can even do it themselves. I'm not gonna do myself, but kudos to those that have the cojones to try it! dangerousthings.com Ted Talk
Swoon street art at 24th and Mission, San Francisco.
Swoon in from Brooklyn. She's famous for her wheat pasted lino-cuts and papel-picado cut outs. The subject is mostly women and children and people she encounters in the world.Her world is about the celebration of love and friendship displayed by everyday people. She's skilled with a lino knife but her installations and sculptures are my favorites. She creates structures from string, scraps of fabric, beads, rope and paper. Her style and attention to detail make a much sought after artist all over the world. She displayed in San Francisco earlier 2016 at Chandran Gallery.
Juliana is a craft-guerrilla street artist that filled in cracks and potholes in the street. She documented these a Flickr account. The photos are taken in the streets of Paris. Not much could be found known of Juliana online. her work is an inspiration because sh isn't only beautifying something that's a physical eyesore in the outside world bus she's filling it in with crocheted colorful yarn. Crocheting craft is a tradition mainly done by older women. And up until a about a decade ago, before hipsters made it "hip" again you'd only see older women doing it. It was perceived as a traditional craft in the same genre as crafting. So Juliana by filling in the grand black gaps in public space with color she's inserting the feminine into the broken drab world.
