Drawing the future
grant balfour | Nov 30 2007
Mark Joyner of Simpleology has apparently hooked up with one of my favorite visionaries, Jacque Fresco of the Venus Project. Together, this Monday, they're teaching people who can't how to draw. Fresco is one of the most fascinating people I've had the pleasure of interviewing - he made a comfortable living on medical patents and, rather than retiring to some exclusive resort, started trying to change the world using memory metal and Omni magazine-style domes and, well, a whole bunch of other stuff. And now, how to draw. Seems like the class is free, too. Hmm. Color me curious. POSTED IN:
About grant Bio grant lives in a palatial suburban estate in West Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by chickens, dogs, cats, children and semi-animate piles of clutter. Older, irregular writings on various topics can be found at Flying Fists, although lately he spends more time trying to get people to join him recording songs of discovery (and reading the latest weird science headlines) at The Guild of Scientific Troubadours. He is an Aquarius, a vayu/kapha body type with a tendency to stagnant liver heat, and remembers when the internet was just a bunch of UFO enthusiasts and HAM radio nuts dialing up to local BBSes to post on something called FIDOnet. His day job is writing about unexplained phenomena for Sun, a magazine that has yet to catch up with FIDOnet's amazing technological breakthrough, but can be found on dead trees in supermarkets nationwide. |
