Is beauty in the eye of the beholder, or the orbitofrontal cortex? Do artists really look at the world differently, or for that matter does sex, species, or attitude change what you see? How is seeing more than just looking, and could vision be just one of many ways of seeing? How does the brain interpret what our eyes glimpse, and how will computers, artificial intelligence, and machines further change the way we look at our world?

Through this RFP, the Artist Volunteer Center will support an artist’s project that is dedicated to advancing themes of social justice, equity, and/or education.

The Artist Volunteer Center is founded on the belief that when artists lend their time as volunteers, not only are they provided with opportunities to improve their lives and the lives of others, they are also given new inspirations for art making. This grant is intended to aid the selected artist/collaboration in the completion of a long-term volunteer project, which will culminate in an artwork or series of works inspired by the artist’s volunteer experience.

DEEP CONVERSATIONS IN THE SHAMAN'S DEN, VOLUME 1
by Frank Moore

Chapter 14 - Gerald Smith & Tracy James - Part 1
http://jukepop.com/home/read/9120?chapter=14

ABOUT THE BOOK

Frank Moore’s Shaman’s Den streamed live on the internet almost every Sunday night from 1998 until Frank’s death in 2013. The Shaman’s Den was a 2 1/2-hour variety show featuring in-studio concerts by bands from around the world and in-depth conversations about politics, art, music, and life.

In this volume, the first in a series, Frank and his guests explore a wide-open field of topics and present new, alternative ways of looking at everything from current economic and political situations to personal relationships.
