David Wojnarowicz, 'Fire', 1987. Scroll to page 2 of the images to see 'Fire', but examine it in the context of the rest of Wojnarowicz's body of work (pun intended).

*Keep in mind: your 'Part I' of the adopt-a-volcano project presentations will be given today (5 min or so), and will include a Google Earth fly-over of 'your' volcano, so practice at home! Also, everyone should bring in a printed 'mind map' of your final project abstract in order to examine the intersection of rhizomatic thinking and free access to data (or in this case, software).
