This fall I’ll be launching a new participatory storytelling project entitled Robot Heart Stories. At its core Robot Heart Stories is an experiential education experiment. Over the course of 10 days two classrooms in underprivileged schools (one in Montreal and the other in LA) will work together to help a robot make her way home using science, math, history, geography and creative writing. The project concludes with an actual space launch to the international space station.
Looking forward to checking this out. It’s Amiel’s first narrative feature and it seems as powerful as his doc work. Plus the lead is a former convict turned actor.
Just stumbled onto this cool photo project by Irina Werning. Back to the Future recreates photos from your past using your current self.

A little bit of campy fun.
Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed.
Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms.
“My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception,” he says.
