We report the most recent advances in The Painting Fool project, where we have integrated machine vision capabilities from the DARCI system into the automated painter, to enhance its abilities before, during and after the painting process. This has enabled new art projects, including a commission from an Artificial Intelligence company, and we report on this collaboration, which is one of the f...

Astronomical optical interferometers sample the Fourier transform of the intensity distribution of a source at the observation wavelength. Because of rapid perturbations caused by atmospheric turbulence, the phases of the complex Fourier samples (visibilities) cannot be directly exploited. Consequently, specific image reconstruction methods have been devised in the last few decades. Modern poly...

“T call yourself a New Yorker you must have been to Harlem at least once. Every up-to-date person knows Harlem, and knowing Harlem generally means that one has visited a night club or two,” wrote novelist and editor Wallace Thurman, “....The music is good, the dancers are gay, and setting is conducive to joy” (1). In the 1920s, nightclubs, bars, and cabarets were much in vogue in most of the we...
