Looks like all the World Science Festival events that really interested me are sold out. Actually, that's not entirely true, but I'll be in the Poconos this weekend so will have to miss out on, say, Saturday's What It Means to Be Human moderated by Charlie Rose, with a panel that includes Jonathan Harris among philosophers, geneticists and neuroscientists. Get tix, go, and I'll borrow your notes when I get back.

If you can't make it out to these talks either, keep reading for a round-up of science and science-y links that I've been bookmarking (wikis, articles, vids, etc), so you can school yourself without leaving your desk/couch/hammock. With science-y musics, of course.

Lots of extreme electric/kinetic stimuli this weekend. Including 3rd Ward's Devo-inspired show, which prompted me to do this contrived (fun) thing where I post a bunch of Devo songs corresponding to the different goings on.

Links and musics ahead.

The Artist's Space is exhibiting The New Normal through June 21, and these two works apparently resonated most with me and my phonecam at the opening last Friday. There are a total of 13 works in the show that use "private information as raw material and subject matter," including interesting stuff by several Eyebeam alums.
