  San Francisco: Mission Muralismo, proudly represents the very Mission we
  inhabit— politically and culturally. Edited by Annice Jacoby, with a
  foreword by Carlos Santana, the photo book is a testimony to the
  district as a laboratory of cultural activism—dressed and addressed by
  the neighborhood as a public art site. This comprehensive volume honors
  decades of sacred and profane urban iconography, showcasing the work of
  artists from Spain Rodriguez to Shepard Fairey, Twist to Aaron Noble,
  Rigo to Sara Thustra, Swoon to Susan Cervantes. Welcomed with free wine,
  an ambient DJ and a recent doc on street art, many of the featured
  artists will be on hand to talk about their work.

 BENT NOT BROKEN: THE END OF THE ANALOG
  Tonight's program turns on the uses and abuses of electronic games,
  gadgets, and gizmos. Headlining this experimental lab is the East Bay
  A/V crew Killer Banshee, with A Wake for Analog, a live performance
  reckoning with the ghosts in the machine. ALSO in person is David Cox
  with his illustrated history of video games, a fascinating overview of
  the amazing changes in this modern genre. Following is a sampling of
  Machinima, that even newer practice in which video games are hacked to
  tell new stories. PLUS The premiere of Carl Diehl's Patrolling the
  Ether, Cyrus Tabar's Tunnel Vision installation, circuit-bending shorts,
  and a goofy introduction to Negativland's Booper. Come early for
  Bassline Baseline, Nate Harrison's history of the Roland TB 303.
