[...] The other thing that’s nice about the Categorically Not! gatherings is the fact that you can wander in the other parts of the space (a giant aircraft hangar) and find interesting displays of art, and run into interesting people. One time, I ran into Julie Weiss! You’ve no idea who that is, right? Thought not. Well, you probbaly know her work. She is a designer in the film industry, and she’s helped set the overall look of several films, including American Beauty, Frida, The Ring (oh yes!), Twelve Monkeys, etc. Wonderful work that is understated and unsung….the overall look of a film is so important to how you see it, but we forget this and just credit everything to the director…… She’s just busily designing in the room next door while we’re doing our Categorically Not! stuff. Who knows what film I’ll be looking at sometime soon and seeing work that I could hear being done in the studio next door….we shall see! [...]

[...] Here’s some news I’ve been bursting to tell you for a while, but had to wait until it was official. By reading it here you have the inside track on pretty much everybody. You may recall the science writer KC Cole, who I’ve mentioned before in connection with the programme Categorically Not! about which I’ve posted here, here and here, and whose comments also featured in a recent post by Sean. Well, she’s left the LA Times, and has move to… USC! [...]

[...] This is a reminder to mark your calendars for October 30th. Recall my post on the Categorically Not! series of events held at the Santa Monica Art Studios. The first one of the new season was a tremendous success, and I described it here. Well, the next one of the new season is on Sunday. Here is K.C. Cole’s teaser: Normally we think of space as an empty canvasâ€”bland, passive and static. But Einstein taught us that space is elastic; it can wiggle and warp; bend light; cause objects to fall to the ground. Modern day physicists envision universes with up to 10 dimensions of space folded into complex shapes like so much Origami. Actors, athletes and dancers also explore space, using their bodies to make space palpable, filling it with structure, tension and emotion. Most basically, spaces are the places we inhabit; they can bring us together or keep us apart. The space we’re in determines, to a large extent, both our perspectives and our possibilities. [...]

Thanks! I hope that it will be a useful portal for all. We’ll try to have the descriptive material for the upcoming events ready in advance within a reasonable time of the event.

I’m also glad to learn that there are Cosmicvariance readers who also come to Categorically Not!

Great website for CategoricallyNot! I especially appreciate the events link so that I can be sure to mark my calendar. It’s worth visiting the hangar just to peruse the artwork. But by far the best part of CategoricallyNot! is how it excites the audience about science and thinking in new ways. Thanks for the info. -JMC
