1. Samuel Yates: The Color of Palo Alto
Tuesday, October 24, 5:30 PM
Student Learning Center Room 101
Samuel Yates will give a lively presentation on how "The Color of Palo Alto" incorporates
technology, contemporary art, environmental protection, and public service into one award-
winning public art project that created the nation's first photo-assisted 911 emergency response
system. Samuel Yates received his Bachelor of Arts in English from UC Berkeley in 1997, and his
Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts with Honors from Columbia University in 2002. His 2001
sculpture, Untitled, was named by Guinness World Records as the "tallest file cabinet on earth,"
and a short 30-minute documentary about his painting, "Vern," in the SFMOMA permanent
collection, premiered in October 2004 at the Mill Valley Film Festival. "The Color of Palo Alto" is a
public art project commissioned by the City of Palo Alto. It will travel to Los Angeles and New
York for exhibition.

4. iDMAa Conference
Novermber 9 - 11
National University, San Diego
I have told you many times about the ultra-cool International Digital Media and Arts Association
and the wild conference that is coming up in just a couple of weeks at National University in San
Diego. Imagine a place where technologists, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and a host of other
creatives come together to share ideas and make things happen. If you are a UGA person on the
bubble -- wanting to go but not having the resources -- contact me (Scott Shamp,
[log in to unmask]). We might be able to find some ways to help get you there -- UGA needs more
of the ideas being tossed around at iDMAa.

5. The Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology is extending its call for
research proposals for researcher in residence grants to November 15, 2006.
Through its Researcher in Residence Grant program, the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art,
Science, and Technology supports projects that not only draw on the documentation collection
and archival fonds of the Centre for Research and Documentation (CR+D), but that also explore
new ways of disseminating and interacting with documentary content. More specifically, the
program aims to promote research projects that take an innovative approach to disseminating
research results via data communications.
For more information on this grant program and on how to submit a proposal online, we invite
you to consult the program guidelines under "Funding Programs" / "Program for Researchers in
Residence" on the Foundation's Web site at:
