The mouse turns 25

... And while Microsoft may be a great innovator, it didn't invent the mouse.
That honour goes to American Douglas Engelbart, whose 1964 prototype consisted of a wooden box on metal wheels ... The mouse turns 25

computer mouse U.S. Patent # 3,541,541

In 1964, the first prototype computer mouse was made to use with a graphical user interface (GUI), 'windows'. Engelbart received a patent for the wooden shell with two metal wheels (in 1970, describing it in the patent application as an "X-Y position indicator for a display system."

"It was nicknamed the mouse because the tail came out the end," Engelbart revealed about his invention.

Hap Tivey

Tivey, who is based in New York, has been working with the medium of light since the late 1960's and early 1970's, when he was associated with the Southern California "Lightand Space" movement.

Rothkosky - 2007

Having studied for years in a Buddhist Monastary in Japan, Tivey combines this experienece with his knowlegde of math to create new metaphorical understanding of one of the most basic and yet enigmatic properties of our basicexistence: light.

The work of Hap Tivey is included in numerous museum collections as well as private and corporate collectiuons including the DeMenil Collection, Houston, Texas; The DIA Foundation, New York, New York; The GuggenheimMuseum in both New York, New York and Bilbao, Spain; Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York and P.S.1,New York, New York.

Hap Tivey

news - It is with great pleasure that the Elizabeth Leach Gallery presents Building White/Eclipse, a major light installation by internationally renowned light artist, Hap Tivey.

This will be Tivey's first large scale light installation in Portland.

Building White/Eclipse further explores theproperties of light by focusing on the concept of an eclipse, bringing "form" to this elusive medium. The experience of the installation, as with the numerous other major installations that Tivey has created world wide,will bring further understanding to how one perceives light as well as one's self.

C-Prayer

C-Prayer

Underground Music & Arts Festival
20, 21 e 22 Settembre 2007
Milano zona Bovisa

C-Prayer festival, area Art.

L’espressione artistica nella sua accezione più libera e pura è l’elemento che caratterizza l’area Art del C-Prayer, dove prendono forma i molteplici linguaggi delle arti visive, che si rapportano oggi con un mondo dell’arte in continua trasformazione.
Installazioni, opere e esposizioni parlano con la voce della moderna cultura dell’immagine, sottolineandone vizi e virtù, proponendo visioni oniriche e lucide allucinazioni.
E’ un crescendo di simboli, forme, luci e colori che varia nelle tre giornate del festival, proponendo ogni giorno uno spettacolo diverso, rinnovando quotidianamente l’aspetto dell’area C-Prayer Art.
Un coro di realtà importanti nel campo delle arti visive, con interventi a cura dei portavoce nazionali, e europei, della creatività grafica e artistica contemporanea, un complesso insieme delle voci che rappresentano al meglio la scena artistica underground.
Sempre più di frequente poi si instaurano connessioni tra l’arte e le nuove tecnologie, le nuove culture e i nuovi media, così il C-Prayer si circonda anche di queste innovative espressioni artistiche e alle esposizioni affianca installazioni interattive, effetti sonori e fresche soluzioni creative complementari alle rapide dinamiche delle arti visive.
Musica per gli occhi.
