Nina Simone once said “It’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times.” I wrote this album in four days because I noticed a lot of people were down and needing something to uplift them, make them smile and want to dance during this dark time. I by no means am attempting to diminish the severity of this pandemic, but trying to show that you can still be creative, still have fun and be fabulous from the comfort of your own home. I hope you enjoy, I hope it inspires you to dance (tag me, I will be watching and sharing) and I hope it brightens your day just a tad. Love you all and please stay safe. We are going to get through this. Mwah 💋

Fair and Equal Michigan Finds a Way to E-Sign Ballot Petitions

I’ll be watching Fair and Equal Michigan’s electronic signature campaign for putting an LGBT anti-discrimination bill on the November ballot. Numerous other organizations have tried gathering signatures by mail or electronically, but many state governments which allow for petitions to put questions on general election ballots specifically mandate (like in Arizona’s constitution for example) that the circulator must witness voters signing the petition in person, and even what sort of ink to use. Courts in Ohio, Montana and Arizona have all ruled against ballot campaigns asking for electronic signatures for such issues as Redistricting reform, Cannabis decriminalization and voting rights expansion, all within the last month.

The Michigan campaign is doing an end run around this requirement by allowing Michigan voters to:

  1. use two-factor authentication
  2. submit their driver’s license or State ID number
  3. use DocuSign to sign twice, once as a signer and once as a petition circulator
  4. Have their identity checked against voter rolls by the campaign

Furthermore, the campaign cites that this is covered under both Michigan’s Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as well as Executive Order 2020-41, both of which provide that e-signatures for legal documents shall have legal effect and shall not be denied enforceability. If they pull this off and can get the prerequisite number of signatures before May 27, this may be the first statewide ballot question in US history to ever be put on a general election ballot using electronic signatures. This could open a new chapter in direct democracy in the United States.

Wireality: Enabling Complex Tangible Geometries in Virtual Reality with Worn Multi-String Haptics

Wireality is a worn VR haptic system that allows for individual joints on the hands to be accurately arrested in 3D space through the use of retractable wires that can be locked. This allows for convincing tangible interactions with large and complex geometries, such as walls, furniture and railings. Our approach is lightweight (11g worn on the hands), low-cost (~$35) and low-power (0.024mWh per actuation).

Afro-Iran: The Unknown Minority by Mahdi Ehsaei

An introduction to a photo book by German-Iranian photographer Mahdi Ehsaei depicting the little known minority of Afro-Iranians in South Iran in fascinating portraits.

Follow this link to support the project: http://kck.st/1PIgEv8

Afro-Iran shows a side of Iran, which is widely unknown even to Iranians: a minority of people who influenced the culture of a whole region by continuing their African heritage with their clothing style, their music, their dance and their oral traditions and rituals. I set out to the Hormozgan Province in the Persian Gulf to shed some light on this part of Iran, which is home to the descendants of enslaved people and traders from Africa.

The traditional and historical region with one of Iran’s most ethnically diverse populations is framed with unique landscapes. The photo book shows fascinating portraits which are not typical for the common picture of Iran. ‘Afro-Iran’ reveals details documenting a centuries-long history of a community, which is often overlooked in Iran’s history, but which has even shaped the culture in Southern Iran.
