artist ROBERT GUINAN painter
Born in Watertown, New York in 1934, Guinan started painting at an early age. His discovery of Toulouse-Lautrec led to a lifelong fascination with street scenes and night life, with musicians, prostitutes and bar patrons. He served in the Air Force between 1953 and 1957, stationed much of the time in Libya and Turkey, where he began sketching the locals. In 1959 he enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago. He fell in love with the city and made it not only his home, but the subject of his work. In 1968, along with Ed Paschke and a handful of other local artists, he showcased his paintings in the “Nonplussed Some” exhibition, the third of seven events which would comprise the Chicago Imagists movement.

Numbers Stations: Mystery Over The Airwaves : NPR
In the shadowy corners of the shortwave radio spectrum, you can often find mysterious mechanical voices counting off endless strings of numbers — in English, Czech, Russian and German … even Morse code. But who's listening? The voices are coming from what are known as "numbers stations," and they've long been thought to be part of international espionage operations. In fact, the Russian spies recently captured here in the U.S. may have been getting orders from Moscow via a shortwave numbers station.

Locus Online Perspectives » Cory Doctorow: What I Do
From time to time, people ask me for an inventory of the tools and systems I use to get my work done. As a hard-traveling, working writer, I spend a lot of time tinkering with my tools and systems. At the risk of descending into self-indulgence (every columnist’s occasional privilege), I’m going to try to create a brief inventory, along with a wish/to-do list for the next round.

"1945-1998" by Isao Hashimoto: CTBTO Preparatory Commission
An animation of worldwide nuclear explosions from 1945 - 1998. "This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."
