New Blankets is a non-profit organization founded to re-invent the
Free Public Library. Its current focus is on expanding read/write
computer literacy, and creating new ways to circumvent barriers in
order to make computers more accessible. New Blankets is a voluntary
coalition of artists, musicians, scientists, engineers, librarians,
parents and community activists throughout the country dedicated to
the networked support of mutually enriching learning communities.

Please join us Friday, June 25, from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the Gottesman
Library, Teachers College, Columbia University where we will be
describing and brainstorming about New Blankets' progress in the past
two years, and welcoming Hans-Christoph Steiner as our First Artist-in- Transit Fellow. You can also look forward to strumming the Suitcase
Supercomputer and viewing other exhibits exploring artworks and
technologies.

Hans-Christoph brings with him years of experience of sharing,
teaching and and collaborating with an eye towards building
community. He has been involved in designing interactive software
with a focus on human perceptual capabilities, building networks with
free software, and composing music with computers, He has been
instrumental in the development and distribution of Pure Data, a
graphical programming language. He sees Pd as an intuitive way 'in'
to read/write computer literacy and will be furthering New Blankets
mission by teaching free and fun Pure Data workshops at the South
Queens Boys and Girls Club.
