Our next 2 Global Dialogues will be with two very different guests who are both using technology in creative ways.
AND, we're taking YOUR questions with us.
  February 24th JÜRGEN SCHULZE, Research Scientist at Calit2
(Questions close Feb 23rd at midnight.)
On February 24th BridgeThink's Don Burton will visit UC San Diego to record an interview with Jürgen Schulze, research scientist at Cal Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). With virtual environments, Jürgen is developing new ways to connect with the world around us. Selected works include collaboration on a 3D visualization of archeological sites in Jordan reproduced in Calit2's StarCAVE and working with a team to create the multimedia art installation "Atlas in Silico" which displayed at SIGGRAPH 2007. Jürgen will be talking about how his work is being adapted to different fields including film and the arts. Jürgen holds an M.S. degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a Ph.D. from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Want to know more? Go ahead and ask! Send in your questions and Don will put them to Jürgen on February 24th. The interview will then appear as a podcast in next month's issue. You can find out more about Jürgen in the video from Calit2 to the left.

 March 20th (9pm eastern) JON RUBIN, Multi-Disciplinary Artist
 On March 20th BridgeThink will visit Pittsburgh via Skype for a live interview with Waffle Shop creator Jon Rubin and we'll be taking your questions LIVE. Jon's work explores the social dynamics of public places and the idiosyncrasies of individual and group behavior. Projects include creating a game show for ideas, starting a restaurant that secretly runs via take-out from its double across the street and developing a hypnotized human robot army. Jon's latest project, The Waffle Shop, is a neighborhood restaurant that produces and broadcasts a live-streaming talk show with its customers, operates a changeable storytelling billboard on its roof and runs a take-out window that sells food from countries engaged in conflict with the U.S. Want to know more? Start sending in your questions now or tune in live to www.waffleshop.org at 9 pm eastern on March 20th and submit your questions in the chat window. We'll put them to Jon when we place ourselves in the Waffle Shop's hot seat for a very unique interview - Waffle Shop style! For more info on Jon Rubin, visit www.jonrubin.net. You won't be disappointed!
