NewYorkology's on Facebook

NewYorkology spent part of the long weekend exploring this thing the kids call Facebook. So now you can be New Yorkology's Facebook friend, and check out some of the cool things there:

Maritime Hotel light graffiti video - A guerrila artist uses a light show to turn the Chelsea-neighborhood hotel into a temporary game board/art canvas.

The Brooklyn Museum ArtShare project - Add this application and you can create your own rotating gallery of artworks for your pge from the Brooklyn Gallery's collection. Not everything in the museum is available, but there are a number of pieces from its extensive Egyptian collection (though not the mummified cat,) as well as the new feminist galleries. Artshare also lets you choose from London's Victoria & Albert museum and Australia's Powerhouse Museum. Plus: "If you are an artist, upload and share your own work using this app."

Video clip from "The Cruise" - See Timothy “Speed” Levitch explain why surrendering to Manhattan's grid system = failure. And did you know he has his own webpage - Speedology.

Whitney Museum's upcoming events - Including but not limited to gallery talks, architecture dialogues and pay-what-you-wish Whitney Live parties.

And one logistics note -- just to emphasize our newbie status, you'll have to make sure you sign up as a friend of New Yorkology (two words) and not merely a fan of NewYorkology (one word.) As a fan, you can only see the shell of the Facebook site we briefly set up in November. Somehow the two pages did not merge into one. (And if you know how to fix, please drop a line.)
