It was very nice to see you yesterday and today in Baltimore, Maryland. Here are photos from my visit to you in West Bengal in Kolkata and Mayapur 5 years ago -
https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1079822037269573634 - which you might be interested in. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality there in 2013-2014. There are also some links to Bengali language World University and School not yet in Bengali, India World University and School, and more on this Harbin book Twitter post as well.
Here's the poem I wrote about this trip on December 31, 2013, while visiting you -
Printable on paper out of a Realistic Virtual Earth (conceptually like Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth ...) Visit the Harbin gate here ...
Swedish identity, the American frontier, religious freedom, leaving persecution in the old world to come to freedom in the new world, themes of sexuality, questions of culture, re Sweden, America, Native Americans, are all significant among so much more. Am curious further about the role of the 1960s and 1970s in this film.

Opening llfe-size art, sculpture and potentially robotics' worlds with Lego robotics
- "The Art of the Brick" (Carnegie Science museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Appreciated the scaling of Lego to human size, appreciated too Lego in a museum as art exhibit, as well as the art itself (e.g. sometimes as few as ~5 Lego brick colors to represent a painting Rembrandt, or The Mona Lisa), and also the Lego culture this art further represents.
Was surprised there was no Lego robotics.
Wondering how to head in a Robotics' direction, and even re representing Angela and Victor's Yoga, movement, inner body re asanas, body minds, as well as teachings, vision and envisioning ... with Lego Robotics + ...

Interesting to see that Sawaya developed his career for happiness in Lego Art and sculpture, after having been unhappy as a lawyer apparently ... will post a picture of this sign from the exhibit and other pictures of his art ...

Was a little unclear where MIT and the COMPUTERIZED DESIGN for these Lego sculptures could have played a role in the making of these ... in this Carnegie Science museum exhibit in Pittsburgh, PA.
Am curious too where creative Art Robotics in a 3D virtual world - emerging from developments with Brick Street View into Google Street View in a SINGLE Realistic Virtual Earth - and especially for everything, e.g music, STEM, archaeology, architecture, history, robotics, surgery, brain science, ... the art and robotics of all of these, will emerge creatively and flourish
In writing a comparative ethnography of MIT & Stanford STEM ethoses re innovation in digital revolution, am curious how this could benefit these & CalTech, CMU & other Technology schools. Re robotics could these schools innovate with Google Voice & Siri re ML & AI with Lego robotics?

For this Stanford-MIT STEM ethos ethnography comparison, am seeking also to draw on the course I teach, ~ Society, Information Technology, and the Global University ~ which is much about the innovation that gave rise to the information technology revolution:
