Calvin Dumas helps turn George Alexander in his bed, Angola State Prison, Louisiana.
Lori Waselchuk is a photographer based in Philadelphia, but she has a special level of dedication to people in the state of Louisiana. Her work in Grace Before Dying concentrates on a prisoner-run hospice program at Louisiana State Penitentiary located in Angola. The prison has a large percentage of inmates serving life sentences; nearly three-quarters of its 5,000 residents will leave the prison only upon their deaths. Waselchuk gained unique access to a program that has transformed lives. Her panoramic black-and-white prints record the heightened sensitivities that this ground-breaking program has instilled in a very tough world.

NEO MAY Mark J. Stock 
Beauty out of complexity. Fluidity out of rough-edged numbers and mathematical operators. Imagine a million MIT chalkboards, covered with runic marks, suddenly melting and reconfiguring into a coherent, logical, perceivable object. It is a miracle of sorts, despite Mark Stock's modest protestations otherwise. Once you've made a few dozen of these, it all seems so simple.
Thanks again to the Boston Cyberarts Festival for inviting the PRC to participate in the 2011 festival. It was a pleasure to contrast two intriguing cyberartists in NEO last month and this.
