The Eyewriter from Evan Roth on Vimeo.
Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE. Tony was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
This week the team behind the EyeWriter project released all the Source code, free software, DIY instructions, and eye tags by Tempt1 to the public at eyewriter.org

More from mob str here.
Recently a group of medical students at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI constructed an outdoor medical clinic on the property of the Heidelberg Project, depicting a primary care clinic that is desperately needed in the neighborhood, but does not exist.
Paul tells us: "We used found materials, donated medical equipment that we begged for, cheap wood from an area scrap yard, spray paint, stencils, and a little imagination and creativity to make the project "work". "
The Detroit Free Press documented the work, including a terrific video. Check it out here.

"this house was destroyed during construction when hurricane katrina hit. like most of the city all that was left was a skeleton of what once was. someone clearly started gutting it and then eventually stopped. the water line was evident on the outside of the house and when i asked my friend where the levee broke he took three steps outside the house and pointed to the top of the road."...

In commemoration of the Berlin Wall coming down on Nov 9 1989 we thought we'd share this story about John Fekner.
In 1986, Fekner spent time in Berlin as part of an invitation group exhibition featuring collaborations by New York and German artists. He visited East Germany entering through Checkpoint Charlie; the visit left a strong impression on Fekner, and subsequently, the work he created while in Berlin.
He created three separate wall installations: a spray-painted fragmented wall that appears to be breaking apart indoors at NGBK; The Beton Puzzle (Concrete Puzzle) painted directly on the Berlin Wall; and, among multiple sites within the city, Fekner collaborated with Peter Mönnig on Wall-Hall-A, an outdoor installation at Potsdamer Platz near the Berlin Wall. The Wall-Hall-A project can be seen in Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin), a 1987 film by Wim Wenders.
Sir X has just launched his website. You can check it out here.
