transreal.org // b.a.n.g. lab in exile

Since my blog, transreal.org is on the bang server, it's down. More info about how UCSD shut down our server is here: FrontPage

I'm really itching to have my blog back, so I'm starting this wiki page.

I'll be posting more here soon, but I've been reading about Edupunk today and it inspired me to start this page. I still haven't decided if I like the idea of edupunk or not, but I definitely like a lot of the associated ideas (particularly Free schools), so I probably do.

Here's the syllabus for my class next quarter:

Electronic Technologies for Art, Pt 2: Social Technologies: vis147b-spring2010

Here's my class syllabus from last quarter
