The Eyewriter from Evan Roth on Vimeo.
Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE. Tony was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
This week the team behind the EyeWriter project released all the Source code, free software, DIY instructions, and eye tags by Tempt1 to the public at eyewriter.org

The Detroit Medical Art Project
Recently a group of medical students at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI constructed an outdoor medical clinic on the property of the Heidelberg Project, depicting a primary care clinic that is desperately needed in the neighborhood, but does not exist.
Paul tells us: “We used found materials, donated medical equipment that we begged for, cheap wood from an area scrap yard, spray paint, stencils, and a little imagination and creativity to make the project “work”. “
The Detroit Free Press documented the work, including a terrific video. Check it out here.
