humanities+digital visual interpretations conference 2010

Aesthetics, Methods, and Critiques of Information Visualization in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences 

May 20 – May 22, 2010 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

HyperStudio’s Visual Interpretations conference will bring digital practitioners and humanities scholars together with experts in art and design to consider the past, present, and future of visual epistemology in digital humanities. The goal is to get beyond the notion that information exists independently of visual presentation, and to rethink visualization as an integrated analytical method in humanities scholarship. By fostering dialogue and critical engagement, this conference aims to explore new ways to design data and metadata structures so that their visual embodiments function as “humanities tools in digital environments.” (Johanna Drucker)

Zia Diner will donate to Felines & Friends

 

Our youngest cat, Chaco Canyon [shown here] came to us from Felines & Friends a year ago on Palm Sunday. He's a little pill but we couldn't love him more. The folks at Felines and friends are wonderful and we encourage you to support them. If you can't take in a foster cat or adopt, here's a way you can help.

Received via e-mail:

Dear volunteers, adopters, friends and donors,

We have just partnered with the Zia Diner and their new donations program, Zia Gives Back.  On Tuesday (March 9th) they will donate 10% of their profits to Felines & Friends! 

To get the most out of this collaboration, we need you to tell your friends who will in turn tell their friends…  The more people who support us by enjoying breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks or dessert at the Zia Diner on Tuesday (March 9th) the larger the donation to us will be.  It’s that simple. 

So join us at the Zia Diner, 326 S. Guadalupe St, between 7am and 10pm on Tuesday March 9th and help our organization grow!
