Thanks to all of you who helped out with Interspecies Invitational Installation!<\/p>\n
By the end of the end of the day (7:30 PM) we had no ribbons left and we began cutting campus maps into strips for people who were still coming and wanting to weave their “veritas” into the web.<\/p>\n
People wrote their “truth” in more than fourteen languages including Azerbaijani, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Turkish.<\/p>\n
A judge from the high court in Budapest left her “igazs\u00e1g\u201d with us. A songwriter gave me a web-side serenade with her spider song. Leslie Brunetta, co-author of Spider Silk<\/em>, joined us for lively discussion about silk and evolution. We seemed to be a hit not only with the adults but also with the under-seven crowd who especially loved our chocolate rose garden.<\/p>\n Thanks to each of you for your part in making it happen and for making our project so much fun! For me personally, the opportunity to create a piece that invites a passerby into an experience to learn about science through a participatory art event is a treat \u2013 a lot of work, but also a chance I’m so grateful for.<\/p>\n With much appreciation,<\/p>\n on behalf of Hyptiotes veritas<\/em> and The Harvard Spinnerets<\/p>\n Number of chocolate roses: 94 Selena (Web Engineer<\/em>) Kim, Harvard ’15:\u00a0 logistics and design<\/p>\n Bex (The 8th Eye<\/em>) Kwan, Harvard ’14:\u00a0 photodocumentation and video production<\/p>\n Kyle (Web Guru<\/em>) Werder, Harvard \u201814:\u00a0 website designer<\/p>\n Sarah (Principal Interspecies Investigator<\/em>) Kariko ’90, MCZ Visiting Scholar:\u00a0 Project Director<\/p>\n Laura (Personal Assistant to Hyptiotes veritas)<\/em>\u00a0Leibensperger, MCZ Curatorial Assistant: general assistance<\/p>\n Hyptiotes\u00a0<\/em>(Guest Artist)\u00a0veritas<\/em>, Harvard 1636: web architect<\/p>\n <\/p>\n President of Harvard University Drew Faust,\u00a0for her vision and being the President “who puts Arts First.”*<\/p>\n The Office for the Arts at Harvard University<\/p>\n Anthony Pacillo, Senior Manager of Harvard Yard and Freshman Dormitories, for logistical help<\/p>\n Rob Gogan, Supervisor of Recycling and Solid Waste Removal, for supplying us with wonderful re-purposed materials from the Recycling Yard and his sense of humor<\/p>\n Jason Luke, Associate Director for Custodial and Support Services,\u00a0and Paul Remeika\u00a0for creative solutions and materials to ensure a sound infrastructure for\u00a0Hyptiotes<\/em>‘ web<\/p>\n Arielle Aserizzi, Lisa Barthelson,\u00a0Jenn Houle,\u00a0Bettina Lengsfeld, \u00a0Jennifer Lenihan, and Mary Sear for helping sew the “Veritas” ribbons<\/p>\n Penny Benson, Ramona Islam, Bettina Lengsfeld and Kate Sheridan for helping Hyptiotes veritas<\/em> with her web<\/p>\n Michelle, for supplying us with web materials<\/p>\n Jackie O’Neill and staff at the Marshal’s Office for 375th Birthday Party goodies<\/p>\n Bow & Arrow Press, especially: Ted Ollier, Zach Taylor & Felix Diaz (the Pressmen who keep it all rolling) and in memory of Gino Lee (who got it all started)<\/p>\n Liz Lerman, for connecting The Harvard Spinnerets as well as Kate Freer and Dave Tennent of Media Room 404, Bess Paupeck of 29 Garden Street, and Lori Gross, Associate Provost of Arts and Culture<\/p>\n Invertebrate Zoology Collections and Giribet Lab at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, especially: Leslie Brunetta, Betsy Gould, Bettina Lengsfeld, Attila and Joan Kariko, Lynne Klemmer, Dan Rossman, and Sirarpi Heghinian Walzer for helping us out at the web during the Arts First Festival.<\/p>\n Thanks also to Prof. Herbert Levi and Lorna Levi, Tiff Bluemle and Liz Shane, Kate Sheridan, Jerry Swope, The Wolf Pack, and Nancy Baldoni.<\/p>\n *Quoting Jack Megan, Director of the Office for the Arts during his introduction of President Faust on Friday, April 20, 2012 at A Conversation with David Michalek, creator of Slow Dancing<\/em><\/strong>, moderated by Giuliana Bruno and Jill Johnson at Boylston Hall, Harvard University.<\/p>\n Thanks to all of you who helped out with Interspecies Invitational Installation!
