Dr. Shaun Casteel from Purdue University is back to discuss his research on high-speed planters in soybeans and the results of using digital imagery to analyze canopy and reflectance data to create yield prediction models!
Having worked at Imaginary Forces and The Mill, Austin is a gentle giant of CGI and rendering's technical minutiae. He shares some secrets and speculates on digital imagery's relationship with the fate of our species.

David Tobias understood insurance from a young age (his Dad was in insurance and David started doing inspections before he turned 20). He also had a passion for technology (he taught himself how to code). David and his coFounder (David Lyman) saw a problem that existed in insurance, which was that roof inspections where hard, expensive, yet the desire to have that information, very useful. They also saw the potential for drone technology to be a potential solution. After their first paid gig, they saw a really big opportunity to use technology to both, acquire digital imagery, but more importantly, to scale the analytics around those digital images to help underwriters, adjusters and others obtain valuable insights on entire property exposures. Betterview exists to make every property thoroughly understood. The company does this by providing software and services to capture, organize and analyze data to unlock valuable insight. There's a really good section of the podcast where David discusses how he thought digital imagery via drones was going to be "the product". Instead, the real product is the insights that The BetterView software provides when examining the digital imagery. This is a valuable lesson for all startup founders. Your solution is likely to be a deeper and more meaningful experience than what you originally imagined. With feedback, BetterView found product/market fit. Whatever itch you, as a business, think you are scratching...keep picking...there is likely a deeper problem to solve.

How do I get into the good art fairs and how do I make money when I get there? These are the universal questions that need to be answered for earning a living in the fine art and fine craft show business. Our expert guests Larry Berman and Bruce Baker lead the way. Larry Berman lends his expertise on creating great images that will "wow" they jury and Bruce Baker shares his experience on creating a great booth and meeting the customer. Between the two you'll have the answers and there is only one thing left for you to do: make great art. Larry Berman has a long career in photography, including being the staff photographer for the NY Nets. He has been exhibiting at art fairs for over 30 years and was one of the first to recognize the importance of digital imagery in the art fair business and was responsible for the ZAPP image format which displays all jury images the same size. He has built a career improving jury images for artists and/or photographing their artwork. He has held seminars on jury images and does consulting with artists and art fairs. Bruce Baker began selling his jewelry at retail and wholesale shows in the 1980's. Taking what he learned there he began consulting full time in 2005 sharing his retailing and business experience with a variety of groups ranging from Artists, Main Street Merchants, to Farm Market vendors, conducting over 600 marketing and production related workshops in the past two decades. He leads training sessions helping artists be more productive and competitive in the international marketplace.

Yeah, watch the video and get back to me. Way cool fun! By the way, this video is nearly 30 minutes long so get a cup of coffee and sit back. It's like a free art lesson!
The Digital Oblivion. Substanz und Ethik in der Konservierung digitaler Medienkunst | Symposium Do, 04.11.2010 – Fr, 05.11.2010 Edmond Couchot counterposed the concept of »chronic time« with that of »uchronic time«. The latter was shaped by simulations, eventualities and possibilities – it refers to a condition of permanent present-ness, free from delay, duration and action. Via the Internet, everyone can construct their own history, but these stories are not reproducible. Perhaps an archive functioning like an organic, living memory might serve as a medium to transmit these stories. The digital technologies (computers, global communication networks, multimedia, electronic games or art installations) have not merely changed our relationship with the world and the other, they have shaken our relationship with time and rocked the very foundations of our culture. We are torn between two temporalities. The first temporality belongs to chronic time, the longitudinal time of history, of the events absorbed and retained by writing, writing being what organises memory and oblivion. The second temporality belongs to machines and plunges us in a time outside of time, that virtual or »uchronic« time where events give way to eventualities. What happens to our world when writing, which has guaranteed the permanence of history until now, conforms to the model of hypertext and splits? When the thread which history spans from past and present to the future threatens to tear under the pressure of »uchronic« time? Are we to reinvent our relationship to time? What are the consequences of this change of temporality for the conservation of digital art works and for the sphere of art more generally? Edmond Couchot is »Docteur d’État« and »Professeur émérite des universités«. He has directed the master studies in art and technology of the image at the Université Paris 8 for twenty years and continues to participate in research activities at the Centre for Digital Imagery and Virtual Reality. /// Laut Edmond Couchot verändern die digitalen Technologien (Computer, globale Kommunikationsnetzwerke, Multimedia, elektronische Spiele oder künstlerische Installationen) nicht nur unsere Beziehung zur Welt und zum Anderen, sie bringen ebenfalls unsere Beziehung zur Zeit durcheinander und erschüttern die Grundlagen unserer Kultur. Wir finden uns zwischen zwei Zeitlichkeiten zerrissen. Die eine Zeitlichkeit ist der chronischen Zeit eigen, der langen Zeit der Geschichte, der Ereignisse, die von der Schrift, die das Gedächtnis und das Vergessen organisiert, aufgenommen und fixiert werden. Die andere Zeitlichkeit gehört den Maschinen und versetzt uns in eine Zeit, die außerhalb der Zeit liegt, in eine virtuelle oder »uchronische« Zeit, in der das Ereignis der Eventualität weicht. Was wird aus unserer Welt, wenn die Schrift, die bis jetzt die Permanenz der Geschichte garantiert hat, sich dem Modell des Hypertexts anpasst und sich spaltet? Wann wird der rote Faden, den die Geschichte zwischen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft spannt, unter dem Druck der »uchronischen« Zeit abreißen? Müssen wir unsere Beziehung zur Zeit neu erfinden? Was sind die Folgen dieser Veränderung der Zeitlichkeit für die Konservierung digitaler Kunst und für die Kunst allgemein? Ursprünglich bildender Künstler, schafft Edmond Couchot seit den sechziger Jahren interaktive kybernetische Installationen, die auf Klang reagieren und die Teilnahme des Betrachters erregen.
