Tokyo F.A.T
But sharing isn’t immoral — it’s a moral imperative.
Rest in Power, Aaron Swartz. (1986 -2013)
We are not really as good at writing obits as we are at making stuff for the web, but there are beautiful and very important stuff about Aaron’s incredible legacy, his amazing politics and the miscarriage of justice against him, that you should read. You can even join the JSTOR Liberator Front!
F.A.T. fellows are deeply sorry that Aaron is not anymore around and we thought the best way to remember him would be building something for the web that could be shared.
Next weekend is the anniversary of the EPIC FAIL of SOPA, in which Aaron played a key role. We reused the code of STOP SOPA campaign to build this little moment of silence and pay a html tribute to Aaron.

BLOOMBERG BANS FAT LAB FROM 2012 EYEBEAM SHOW, “NYC HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH THIS YEAR”. RESCHEDULED TO MARCH 2013
FAT GOLD exhibition is postponed until March 2013. While we are all really outraged at having to change our plans so abruptly due to extensive disaster from Hurricane Sandy, we want to ensure that NYC fully recovers before we unleash FAT GOLD on the city.
With many of us located in NYC, we do encourage you to help and volunteer in the wake of Sandy. You can help by visiting or donating to the recovery efforts of the NY Red Cross.
We will continue to release new posts and projects on the FFFFF.AT leading up to March.
BE SAFE AND BE PREPARED NYC!
HANG ON!! 2 WEEKS TO GO! BE READY FOR THE MONSTER!!
