The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City invites eligible artists, designers, organizations, and non-profits living or operating within the City to propose temporary design solutions to renew the surface treatments at all five plazas and smaller ancillary spaces located on Broadway from 47th to 42nd streets.

The final selected design shall be translated into a surface treatment by a contractor selected by the New York City Department of Transportation. The selected artist shall be awarded a design fee in the amount of $15,000 to be funded by the Mayor’s Fund.

The design is expected to be installed by mid-July. The temporary treatment will remain in place for approximately eight months and will be monitored and maintained by the Times Square Alliance. The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, April 16, 2010. Questions and answers will be posted to this website. Details on how to submit questions are contained in the RFP.

The design competition is project of New York DOT in partnership with the Times Square Alliance.  As Business Improvement District for Times Square and Broadway Theater District, the Alliance has conducted a number of studies regarding the pedestrian spaces of Times Square and produces public art projects and events.  Information on these activities is available at www.TimesSquareNYC.org.

now for the third contest  i submitted  the females from above to The Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints Ltd.

boy that was some work day which i don’t usually put myself through because i try to submit long before the deadlines, but somehow things got away from me this year. hope this isn’t a harbinger of the year to come.

i’d be happy with any of these associations because looking at past winners  i’d be in some pretty good company. tomorrow i have to pack up my Ascending print and send it off to C4fap.

woohoo the day is done .

Artist wanted: Submissions Open for FIGMENT Events in NYC and Boston

February 23, 2010

Artists Wanted:
Submissions Open for FIGMENT Events in NYC and Boston

In June 2007, a group of New Yorkers came together for a new kind of arts event on Governors Island in New York Harbor—FIGMENT, a free event in which everyone is invited to participate and collaborate to create artwork and build community. By 2009, FIGMENT had grown to a 3-day event, in which over 13,000 participants came to interact and engage with over 400 participatoryarts projects. FIGMENT also presented several summer-long projects, including an 18-hole mini golf course designed by artists and a 16-piece large-scale interactive sculpture garden, which were enjoyed by an estimated 40,000 people from June through October.  As FIGMENT grows beyond the New York City area to launch FIGMENT Boston, and further expands its NYC presence, artists are invited to participate.

Submissions are now open for 2010 FIGMENT events in New York City (June 11-13) and Boston (June 5).  Art projects in every imaginable medium are welcome, including sculpture, installation, performance, music, workshops, activities, games, visual art, and electronic art.  In addition, FIGMENT is also accepting proposals until March 1 for its summer-long exhibitions on New York’s Governors Island: the FIGMENT Sculpture Garden and Mini Golf Course. Below is a summary of our current calls for participation:

New York City Event: June 11 – 13, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline May 1

Boston Event: June 5, Memorial Drive, Cambridge
(co-located with Cambridge River Festival)
Art Submission Deadline May 1

New York City Sculpture Garden: June 11 through mid-October, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline March 1

New York City Mini Golf Course: June 11 through mid-October, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline March 1

For more information, please visit http://figmentproject.org.

FIGMENT celebrates an abundance of creativity and passion, challenging artists and our communities to find new ways to create, share, think, and dream. Become a part of events in NYC (June 11-13) andBoston (June 5), and interactive exhibits on NYC’s Governors Island from June through October. For more information, visit http://figmentproject.org.

FIGMENT is a project of Action Arts League, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and is created and produced by a coalition of volunteers. FIGMENT is entirely funded by grants and individual donations, and accepts no corporate sponsorship of any kind. FIGMENT is made possible by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s SwingSpace program, which was created with lead support from the September 11th Fund. FIGMENT is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

FIGMENT Boston is produced in collaboration with the Cambridge Arts Council (www.cambridgeartscouncil.org), which exists to ensure that the arts remain vital for people living, working and visiting Cambridge.

letter reply from Canon CEO & President Mr. Adachi, 5D MK II

February 23, 2010

Your recent letter to Mr. Adachi has been forwarded to my attention for reply. I sincerely appreciate your concerns and would like to apologize for any misunderstanding you may have encountered during your visit at the 2009 Photo Expo.

The EOS 5D MK II is the first and foremost a still image camera, and offers the ability to make high quality video clips. Unfortunately, HDMI output at 1920 X 1080 is not possible as the camera is not capable of handling the massive amounts of data written to the card, and output an HD signal via the HDMI port at the same time. This is why Live View is limited to 640 X 480 resolution.

The firmware update you are referred to in your letter, is intended to be released sometime during the first half of 2010. There was no release scheduled for January. When the update is released, we will see what frame rates the firmware offers.

As for the other features you mentioned as being absent from the EOS 5D MK II, they may be considered for a future product.

I hope this information is helpful to you and once again appreciate your interest in Canon.

Miichael Schimmel
Customer Relations.

This is what happens when one sits down and actually writes a letter  to a company. this is how companies do business via written letters. what with all this tweeting, emails and blogging just communicating the old fashion ways still works.

Letter to canon camera CEO about 5D Mll

February 15, 2010

i wish the community would join me in a letter writing campaign to the president & ceo of canon directly asking for the long awaited updated software for the 5D Mll.

i find it somewhat of a disgrace and affront to me the user that canon has taken so long to upgrade this camera’s software while introducing more new cheaper eos cameras  with better software.

calling  an anonymous  telephone line and speaking to representative isn’t as effective as a direct letter to the president. one needs to consider the cultural   implications of shame to the company for not doing anything to fix this oversight.

i don’t think improvements move up the ladder of command but rather down the chain of corporate communities.

if we want this software changed then we need to speak up often and many times in order to be heard over the din of doing nothing. squeaky wheels get greased, let us fill their ears with noise.

see below the presidents message to the world who canon is. do you think this is the same lethargic company  sitting on an updated software version for our cameras?

then do something. please take a moment out of your day to write to them stating your displeasure.
