IN the age of new technologies- Revolutionary ideas and technologies are brought into the process of "Make" and "'Grow". DIY culture together with open source movement make everyone an inventor and an entrepreneur. We can build our remote controller, chinese writing pad using ipone, we can build our musical instrument using retro technologies such as the copier, fax machine.
We see 'grow your animation' from people using processing and 'grow your meat' as in bio art research. Generative software are now solving problems for us from random and artificial intelligence.
Democracy is out. We no longer need to be represented, we represent ourselves and we share our presence. The ideas of sustainability and 'living green' is also part of this cureent.
SEE emphasizes sustainability and creativity in life are hosting this 'make my own dress' workshop. Wanna bring in some new technologies here?

Brain machine how-to video
via Boing Boing
MAKE's Bre Pettis has a video about making a sound-and-light brain machine (which is featured in Make, vol. 10)
This weekend, learn how to hack your brain by making Mitch Altman's Brain Machine! It flashes LEDs into your eyes and beeps sounds into your ears to make your brain waves sync up into beta, alpha, theta, and delta brainwaves!
Mitch invents cool things that make the world a better place. He's well known for the TV-B-GONE and this brain machine is his latest project. One of the cool things about this project, is that it builds on an open source project. Mitch used Lady Ada's open source MiniPOV and switched out LEDs and added new capacitors and resistors and then rewrote the firmware to make it into the brain machine. It's super cool when people make hardware open source so that others can work with it!

Here are useful points when shooting video:
1. Shoot lots of short scenes rather than very long, continuous shots. Shots 5–10 seconds in length often work especially well.
2. Add variety to your shots, for example by filming the main subject (perhaps the baby at a first birthday party), capturing the faces of the onlookers, getting a shot of the cake, presents, food, the candles being blown out, the mess (!), Uncle Jake arriving late in his new SUV. . . You get the idea.
3. Take establishing shots for your travel videos (shots of road signs or wide shots of the location) and then get up close and personal to film various close-ups of local faces or exotic products for sale in the market.
4. When shooting video of children or babies kneel down with your camcorder and grab some shots from their level. Get lots of face shots.
5. Encourage people to smile or interact with the camera (if you wave with your free hand most people will wave back!)
6. Keep a steady hand while you shoot and stay focused on your subject.
7. When shooting groups of people remember to get in close. Frame it up then step a little closer still!
8. Only zoom or pan slowly and remember to record some steady material at the beginning and end.
9. To make cool music videos, try some professional shooting tricks like 'dutching' your camera - holding your camera and rotating it slowly in both directions (clockwise/counter-clockwise).
10. Shoot your subjects from all angles. Move around the subject, shoot from below and from the top.
11. Try visual surprises like shooting into mirrors or from a high viewpoint. You can also put movement into your material by shooting from glass elevators or while traveling on an escalator.
12. Shaky video when cut quickly may sometimes cause nausea so keep it steady.
13. Panning or sweeping should be done reasonably slowly, otherwise a swoosh/blurring effect may occur as the autofocus of the camcorder may not focus in time.
14. Make sure your subject is well lit so that you have well defined and contrasted scenes.
