ART * MUSIC* and WALLPAPER DESIGN

In 1973, Mark Mothersbaugh and his art student friends formed the idea of the "devolution" of the human race. In 1973 the trio started to play music as DEVO (Crack that Whip!).

Since Devo, Mothersbaugh developed a successful career writing musical scores for film and television. In film, Mothersbaugh has worked frequently with filmmaker Wes Anderson, and scored most of his feature films (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and his music has been a staple of the children's television shows Rugrats, Beakman's World, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. He also wrote music for Pee-Wee's Playhouse in 1990 and the theme song for The New Super Mario World in 1991.

He currently hosts a drawing segment on Nick Jr's television series, Yo Gabba Gabba! called Mark's Magic Pictures, teaching children how to draw simple pictures that often come alive at the end of the segment.

And he has launched a new line of wallpaper:

Citywide Internship opportunities for UTC students

http://createhere.org/projects/plugdin/
Plugdin is a citywide residency program that reaches Chattanooga’s interns across disciplines and cultivates leadership skills. Plugdin was designed to attract and retain a dynamic workforce in Chattanooga by eliminating barriers to entry, in the workplace and outside of it. The program’s major strength is its ability to connect interns with other young professionals, giving them the opportunity to round out their view of this city.


Originally a project of CreateHere, Plugdin is currently administered by YPAC who has reached out to a new audience of students at UTC.

Easy to Live Lightly on the Earth

This UK house was built with maximum regard for the environment.

"Building from natural materials does away with producers' profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings."


Some key points of the design and construction:

• Dug into hillside for low visual impact and shelter
• Stone and mud from diggings used for retaining walls, foundations etc.
• Frame of oak thinnings (spare wood) from surrounding woodland
• Reciprocal roof rafters are structurally and aesthaetically fantastic and very easy to do
• Straw bales in floor, walls and roof for super-insulation and easy building
• Plastic sheet and mud/turf roof for low impact and ease
• Lime plaster on walls is breathable and low energy to manufacture (compared to cement)
• Reclaimed (scrap) wood for floors and fittings
• Anything you could possibly want is in a rubbish pile somewhere (windows, burner, plumbing, wiring...)
• Woodburner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
• Flue goes through big stone/plaster lump to retain and slowly release heat
• Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
• Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
• Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
• Water by gravity from nearby spring
• Compost toilet
• Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.
