Tony Quan, aka Tempt1, is a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. Earlier this year, members of FAT, OpenFrameworks, G.R.L., The Ebeling Group and Tempt1, teamed up to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. Check out the project along with source code, free software, diy instructables and eyetags by Tempt1 at eyewriter.org.
The EyeWriter core development team consists of Tony Quan, Evan Roth, Chris Sugrue, Zach Lieberman, Theo Watson and James Powderly.
With support from: The Ebeling Group, the Not Impossible Foundation and Parsons Communication Design & Technology.
Many thanks to: Keith Pasko, LM4K, Eleanor Dunk, Jamie Wilkinson, and Greg Leuch.

Just because a lot of people see your work doesn’t mean it’s good… but it does mean you’re famous — Internet Famous. This course dedicated to learning how to spread your work to the widest possible audience online. We are going to study the art and science of getting hits.
Internet Famous is the first algorithmically graded class in the history of academics. Custom Famotron software determines each student’s grade based on a quantitative measurement of their web fame.
Bubblyfish and tobi-x will give a talk at the Parsons School for Design (NYC), arranged by Zachary Liebermann.
