My very good friend, Daniel Hirschmann (that's him eating cake yesterday), is back in SA for a few weeks. Besides hanging with his family and friends, he's here primarily to run an open-to-the-public workshop at Wits on what he calls "Media Arts." I call it, "How to create flippen awesome interactive art installations that make otherwise intelligent people feel really, really stupid."
And I plan on feeling stupid Tuesday night at around 6:30PM if anyone wants to join me.
Here's a little more info for you from The Mail & Guardian about the workshop:
