"FIGMENT is an explosion of creative energy. It’s a free, annual celebration of pARTicipatory art and culture where everything is possible. For one weekend each summer, it transforms Governors Island into a large-scale collaborative artwork… and then it’s gone."
Come take the free ferry to NY City's beautiful Governor's Island, just off the southern tip of Manhattan, and find our OLPC/Sugar volunteer crew in "NOLAN PARK" : http://figmentproject.org/2010/events/figment-nyc-2010-event-projects-artists/ Directions to the free ferries -- many of us will be taking the 10AM Saturday (June 12) ferry from Lower Manhattan here: http://figmentproject.org/2010/events/figment-nyc-2010/ http://figmentproject.org/2010/events/figment-nyc-2010/getting-there/ Best of all, the weather has cleared up completely morning & early afternoon too, for our New-Solar-Panel demo with our 10+ XOs and XO-1.5s: "One Laptop per Child (OLPC NYC) invites you to create your own art and music with digital paintbrushes and music makers on our rugged green laptops, and communicate wirelessly and live with other kids, using solar-power! Build a colorful photo-tapestry together with other kids around the world, or work on a piece together with your new friends at FIGMENT. Our software empowers kids to take control of their own imaginations, and just Begin Creating. We spark young minds across Asia, Africa, Latin America and North American schools making it possible for kids to collaborate freely across continents. Seize your tools!" Hope to see you there, helping to make the above art-will-set-you-free vision a reality -- look for us in "NOLAN PARK" (eastern park of the island) where we'd love you to help Marife Mago organizing and presenting Sugar activities -- for what is very likely to be thousands of visitors :) _______________________________________________ Grassroots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots
