A nice article about the urban prospector on boing boing.
"Last week our pals at Gizmodo stumbled on an Instructables project for hacking a metal detector with a hydrocarbon sensor. The goal: use it to find oil you can extract and sell for $$$ OR locate underground toxins, so you can try to sue whoever put them there (win win, if you ask me)."
A group of us are going to give a series of presentations and workshops in Illinois from March 30th – April 4th. Come check it out if yr in chicago.
Check out the schedule events and participants here: http://roadshow.eyebeam.org/schedule.html
In mid May, I’ll be installing and giving workshops on my Oil Prospecting kit at Futuresonic in Manchester, UK. It will be an interactive installation with live over-hyped twitter feeds of people striking it rich using the oil finder, and google map mash-up of potential money spots. More info on the project here.
Here’s a video of a presentation I did in january of some of my work at colorado college. I don’t always talk directly in the mic, so i apologize about the poor audio at times;..)
Jon Cohrs – presenting work – colorado college 1-28-09 from anfw on Vimeo.
I’m teaching two classes at colorado college this winter. The first one is an intro to new media class. Yes, very vague, but it will be a fun crash course on the history of new media art of the last 15 years, along with studio practice of the technique used such as ascii, a little programing, page scraping ect..

Then I’ll be co-teaching a class with Dan Raffin, called Interactive Video Art. I’m excited to co-teach with the most influential professor I had in undergrad.
Moss Bombs, a project and Instructable I created in 2007 was included in the Experimenta Design 2008 Show in Amsterdam.
