Saw this all-day panel Your Brain on Art: Probing Neuroaesthetics, Wed May 7 at the Nasher Museum of Art in Durham, thought I would mention it. I am planning to attend.

Went to UNC campus this afternoon for two hours of lecture and q and a with Paul Miller, alo known as DJ Spooky. I last saw Paul Miller when he came to UNC to perform his video remix of DW Griffith's film he called Rebirth of a Nation. I will next see him Saturday night at Duke for his performance of Video Soul: Wattstax to the Avant Garde. (Who else is coming, or is interested in coming?)

Co-sponsored by Duke's Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies. Museum Auditorium. "

Saw this announcement yesterday, thought it might be of interest to those local to Durham.
