While Core 77 primarily focuses on industrial design, the Curiosity Club talks incorporate broader interests including clothing design. Tonight is that. Local designer Coco Urhausen Martinez talks about her work, including Mexican circus influences. The description of her work on the Curiosity Club web link is fascinating - read it to decide for yourself. You can tune into the free live webcast off the Core77 site or visit in person at Hand Eye Supply www.handeyesupply.com/pages/curiosity-club 23 NW 4th 6PM Free
We have the most amazing machines at our fingertips or following us in our pockets. They are backed by a web of radio systems and fiber, and acres of data centers, many in Eastern Oregon and Washington. Normally we just use them. But some people think about how we use them. One is Sherry Turkle at MIT, a center for research and publishing in mobile and computing ethnography. Turkle is one of the leading thinkers in the world on the topic. You can see her tonight speak for free at Powells. Many videos are here, including the Colbert version last week. Turkle speaks at Powell's Books www.powells.com 1005 W Burnside 7:30PM Free
