Fashion/Soft

On Wednesday, April 4, Fishbon Event Lab operatives were treated to a supreme left brain/right brain information fiesta. To begin the evening, Ulrike showed images and video from her recent foray to the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) Body Language conference which focused on the synergy between Graphic Design and Fashion. She showed cool web and window design for Issey Miyake, Surface-to-Air, Staple Design and other New York area firms. Later in the evening, August and Alex from UCSB's Media Arts and Technology program talked about Open Source Software and the wide variety of editing, graphics, animation and general purpose software available for free download.

May I add a software support link?

Plan-B for OpenOffice.org - not by artists but for artists and other non technical users.
