Too funny not to share! Sent to you by Jonathan via Google Reader: _Homework Assignments From Our Transhumanist Future [Concept Art]_ (http://io9.com/5359044/homework-assignments-from-our-transhumanist-future/gallery/) via _io9_ (http://io9.com/) by Lauren Davis on 9/14/09 _Shane Hope_ (http://io9.com/tag/shane-hope/) 's cheekily named exhibition "Your Mom is Open Source" includes homework assignments from a distant future where augmented children write about the joys of post-personhood, immortality, and uplifting pet fungi. The "Your Mom is Open Source" exhibition has envisioned our _Grey Goo apocalypse_ (http://io9.com/5325196/grey-goo-will-be-our-children) , and also includes the "Compile-A-Child" series, which imagines the sorts of homework assignments produced by children raised in online virtual worlds. The notion that children will still be handwriting on paper aside, Hope is looking to create a visual arts answer to hard science fiction, complete with his own ideas about the future of language and technology. _Compile-A-Child_ (http://www.shanehope.info/?cat=17) [Shane Hope _via Rhizome_ (http://www.rhizome.org/editorial/2721) _via Accelerating Future_ (http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/2009/09/shane-hopes-transhumani st-art/) ] (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/to-be-imortel.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/aleph-zyme.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/love-to-merge.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/foglets-and-me.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/singularity.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/all-transubstrational.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/proud-of-myselves.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/potential-me-space.jpg) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/09/fungus-fluffy.jpg) (http://feeds.gawker.com/~ff/io9/full?a=qfBrCairCUs:ys7N9DDON04:yIl2AUoC8zA) (http://feeds.gawker.com/~ff/io9/full?a=qfBrCairCUs:ys7N9DDON04:D7DqB2pKExk) (http://feeds.gawker.com/~ff/io9/full?a=qfBrCairCUs:ys7N9DDON04:V_sGLiPBpWU) Things you can do from here: * _Subscribe to io9_ (http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http://io9.com/index.xml?source=email) using Google Reader * _Get started using Google Reader_ (http://www.google.com/reader/?source=email) to easily keep up with all your favorite sites --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R-SPEC: The Rochester Speculative Literature Association" group.
