Our filmmaker and multimedia performance artist friend at this year's
SWLfest, Amanda Dawn Christie, just got an article about her film and
her work published in IEEE Spectrum, a magazine edited by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the world's
largest professional organization devoted to engineering and the
applied sciences.
An abbreviated version of the article was published online
today

A more extensive article with more content and images will be
published in the upcoming print edition of IEEE Spectrum. Some
SWLfesters probably get it. The article describes her documentary
film project at RCI Sackville, and some of her other work. It's worth reading.
At the SWLfest, Amanda was talked into presenting at
<http://hope.net/schedule.html>HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) in
July, where she performed and held a workshop (several SWLfesters
presented at HOPE this year.) The editor of IEEE Spectrum attended
HOPE and was intrigued enough by Amanda's workshop to want to publish
an article about her work. So this all stems from the SWLfest, where
good things happen!
