Zed A. Shaw, Painter

I'll now do a short description of each one: "A Nerd in The Art World" -- A talk about all the totally weird foreign things I've seen in the art world that are totally different from the world of technology, and all of the big similarities between them. Mostly funny stories.

"Autodidact's Rules of Order" -- A presentation on what I call "Guerilla Warfare Self-Education" but if I call it that they'll balk at it. It'll be a reasoning and set of strategies to teach yourself something when your school sucks or you have no access to quality education.

"How to Build a Guitar" -- Pretty much what it says. I'll go through how I taught myself how to build guitar, why, and how you can do it for fairly low cost (I mean, for a damn guitar).

"DIY Streaming and Hosting" -- I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to host my own show entirely on my own because, well, lots of people hate that I hate Haskell and Python so they try to get me deplatformed. This will show you how to do it on the cheap.

"The Lost Art of Plein Air" -- A history of plein air painting and how the simple tin tube created it, how it exploded and then died, and how I go about doing it today as one of the few people who does it. I promise not to show photos of me on a beach in a speedo painting.

"Exploring Ancient Cameras" -- I actually play around with a lot of ancient optics tricks for making paintings, and nobody can really tell the difference. I'll go through all the different cameras I know about, how to make them, and how to use them to cheat at art.
