Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Listen Now to Frank Pietronigro
Frank is the first American artist to create “drift paintings” where his body floated within a three-dimensional painting that he created in zero gravity aboard NASA’s KC135 aircraft. On April 4, 1998, Pietronigro flew from the NASA Johnson Space Center, aboard a KC135 turbojet, to create ‘drift paintings’ as the artist’s body floated within the 3-D kinetic painting space facilitated by parabolic flight and microgravity. He appropriated modernist painting conventions using similar techniques employed in abstract impressionism but with the intention of having very different outcomes within a postmodern situation. Frank painted by squeezing rainbow colored acrylic paints from pastry bags into the space surrounding his body.
We discuss the whole field of Space Art with Frank and look at what interesting space art projects are coming up!

Elon Musk’s Hyperloop got a lot of attention this week, and why not? It’s an invention that is far-reaching, useful, elegant, and could actually work for less than current mass transpo plans. We take a closer look at it on this week’s news.
More seriously, we take a deeper look at the fallout of the NSA’s massive spy campaign, it’s effect on secure email businesses, and alternative networks and technologies rising to continue our freedom of privacy, despite NSA’s campaigns otherwise.
