The Rundown
Today I'm featuring stories about the envisioning process. How do you see youself in 10 years? How about the city in which you live? What if Chicago wins the Olympic bid for 2016? How will that change the city? What effect will it have on the suburbs and outlying communities? Chicagoland as a whole? Let me know what you think at 888-635-1112 or by sending an email to ONAIR@VOCALO.ORG.
I'll also be joined in the studio by one of the world's top turntablist/producers, Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky. He'll be playing us some of his fresh new cuts and we'll be talking about the envision process with him. He's in town to promote his lecture at the School of The Art Institute:

In a nutshell, he's creating an art installation for Link City. Using images and footage from Getty Images' collection as well as his own photographs and original music, and archival content from the Chicago History Museum, DJ Spooky has created LinkCity - a collage installation in four sections - City of the Past, City of the Future, Third World City, Industrialized City.
"While this particular installation will focus on Chicago, Link City is a project that looks at how urban space has evolved over the last couple of centuries - it explores how technology, photography, and portraiture have created a cultural landscape that is intimately tied to the uneasy tension between the urban and rural, the hypermediated, and the almost "wireless" aspects of the "digital divide" between rich and poor countries, and between radically disparate geographies."
WOW!
Join me today for great music and stories. What? Don't you like the future?
