Felix “Fox” Harris at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET)
Have you seen the Voodoo Man? American Folk Artist Felix “Fox” Harris acquired his nickname, the Voodoo Man, because of the mysterious totems that filled his yard and surrounded his home. His remarkable gift for sculpture allowed Harris to transform found items into serendipitous sculptures. Harris’ work now resides at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) in Beaumont, Texas. Experience AMSET’s new semi-permanent gallery Somethin' Out of Nothin': the Works of Felix "Fox" Harris .
Making Art in Second Life
Posted May 12th, 2007 by Alan Levine
On May 10, 2007, we were fortunate to have Second Life artist Filthy Fluno (or in Real Life, Jeffrey Lipsky) visit NMC Campus, where he spoke to 20+ audience via live audio. The purpose of this event was to share the process by which he created a painting commissioned by NMC, called “Search For Excellence.”
What was special in this session was that Filthy played for the audience a video he shot which captured the development of this piece of art, and was the video played, he described the symbolism, techniques, and what he was thinking at different stages.
DNA Content in Design course project
Posted February 23rd, 2007 by Tom HapgoodThe premise of the art class seemed simple enough. Students would create a body of work reflecting their own ethnic identities and perceptions of race.
But there was a twist. Florida Atlantic University instructor Peter Fine suspected many of the graduate students would be unaware of their full genetic makeup.
So Fine, an associate art professor, asked the students in his Visualizing Race class to take DNA tests.

hush, hush: the power of a secret
hush, hush: the power of a secret was an art project conceived of and created entirely by teens participating in Club Arthouse at Arthouse at the Jones Center. hush, hush was inspired by PBS's award-winning contemporary art show, Art:21. After watching the episode, the students decided to concentrate on the power of communication and the control of that power through the action of keeping secrets. Over several weeks, the students collected anonymous secrets on tape from both their peers and the general public. They then transcribed the secrets, and each student chose one secret to interpret in a piece of visual art.

The Inevitable Convergence of Art and Digital Media
Posted December 14th, 2006 by NMC
The American author Frederick Buechner wrote, "The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt."
Education and cultural heritage professionals, individually and collectively, are approaching a giant interchange-not just a crossroads-but an interchange. Will we let the new technologies shape us? Or will we use mankind's latest set of tools to build a legacy, as best we can for future generations? Is this simply a period of controlled chaos? Or are we spiraling out of control? Has the room full of hammers gotten so big, we've forgotten what it was that was so important for us to nail down?
Faces of Battle: Japanese Prints from the Permanent Collection
Faces of Battle: Japanese Prints from the Permanent Collection
An installation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art explores the themes of samurai virtue in conflicts ranging from legends of pre-history to epic moments of civil war in the late 19th century. The thirty woodblock prints from the installation are also presented online in this interactive feature with stories of the protagonists, zoom screens enabling close inspection of the images, and a brief biography of the influential printmaker Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-92).
