Politics Forum

Today, Andy, Reto and I went to the Institute of Politics for Politics Forum. The theme was Future Intelligent Transportation. We demonstrated our video analytics project. Andy did a great job to create a looping video of several demos. The Institute provided 32" monitor and table. Everything seems perfect. The audiences were great. Some comments and suggestions were very helpful.


The Alumni Hall in Pitt is majestic. The staffs dressed very well and pleasant. There were formal speeches and demo sessions at both ends.



We had a lot of Swedish meat ball leftovers. I told the staffs that I am going to make an meat ball art on the largest poster panel there. "Oh, you will make a Jack Pollock?""Why not?""Let's sell it and split the money. I want to go Bohamas."


After the party was over, here we go to start with meat balls and splashes of soup. Looks like 3D painting, isn't it? 


Here is the final product. I used hand to scratch the painting surface and picked up those meant balls.


The director and my colleagues spotted what I was doing from distance and finally walked over to the door. "You made a painting that can be tasted," one of them said to me politely.
