Mount Calvary, Wisconsin. Most recently Vito has used his skills in web design and computers to update and troubleshoot various computer systems...a task that often costs religious organizations large sums of money. Currently Brother Vito attends Saint Xavier University, double-majoring in Computer Studies and Philosophy. He plans to attend the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago as he pursues priestly ordination, as well as grad studies in either Web Development or Science & Technology Studies. Last May, Vito was invited to Rome to meet with other Catholic bloggers regarding the state of the Internet and the use of social media as a means of evangelization.

his month I had the opportunity to preview The Genesis One Code by Daniel Friedmann. As a student of both religion and science, it was a wonderful opportunity for me to read and critique the work of someone whod found a way to interpret science and faith as disciplines that can point towards a common truth. The Genesis One Code focuses on cosmology as told by the scientific community as well as through his own faith. This is an initial problem for people of different disciplines: the evidence towards an old universe conflicts with the 6-day creation narrative of the Abrahamic tradition. While these two approaches towards the creation of the universe appear to be incongruent, the focus of Friedmanns book is to show that, indeed, both the scientific evidence and the 1st chapter of Genesis point to a common truth: scientific findings regarding the age of the universe are in agreement with Genesis that the world is 13.75 billion years old (plus/minus .13 billion years). This is a strong claim, however Friedmann shows that he is familiar with the both approaches. One of the things I enjoyed about the book is that it did not present one side to be more correct than the other...an approach that would have easily imbalanced a highly volatile thesis. Rather, the author systematically approaches both disciplines, explains the history and thought behind both, and provides a mechanism of thought that seemingly unifies the fields of science and religion. I say seemingly because Friedmanns methodology raises some questions. The author does well to illuminate his sources as well as explain their importance to the discussion, especially when discussing the entirety of Jewish Law. However the use of these various sources does not make Friedmanns conclusion necessary. Rather, it
Scientific findings regarding the age of the universe are in agreement with Genesis that the world is 13.75 billion years old (plus/minus .13 billion years.
This is where, in my reading, the book has the most value. Daniel Friedmann, when presented with contradictions between science and religion, chose to learn both rather than picking one and dismissing the other. Friedmann presents an understandable description of the cosmology of the universe, including the Big Bang Theory as well as the Theory of Evolution. Both are not fully explained, however I found myself learning more about the structure of these theories as well as the science behind both. Similarly, the author explains the depth of the understanding of Genesis from the Judaic perspective.

The Sombrero Galaxy with Super Black Hole in the Middle M 104 - NGC 4594 - This is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its inclined disk. The dark dust lane and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of +9.0, making it easily visible with amateur telescopes. Image taken by Hubble Telescope.
It is clear from the book that the author has taken time to educate himself in both areas of study. Genesis One is a framework not just to look at our beginnings, but provides an example of incorporating science and faith towards a common goal. Genesis One is a unique read in that part of the book reads like a science text while the other reads like a Raymond Brown text...bombarded with references and various interpretations of religious thought. Thankfully, the author provides timelines and visual aids to help readers synthesize the data. If you are looking for a spiritually
stimulating book, this might not be your choice. However if you are looking to read something that will increase your knowledge as well as make you think about your own viewpoints, this is the book for you. I also recommend this book for Catholics who, although have no official teaching on the Evolution and Big Bang Theories, are encouraged to come to their own positions that compliment faith and science. The Genesis One Code will provide an insight towards thinking of religion and science as complimentary disciplines that can both lead humanity to understanding the truth. u

hen choosing a topic for my art, one of my goals is to creat something with theological rammifications. A lot about art is how the viewer interprets the piece. Since I would like my work to reflect my desire and discernment as a religious friar, my goal is to imprint a hint of the divine in all I do. Eccolo is a manual photo trace done with Adobe Illustrator. The image was taken at my friary here in Chicago. The craftsman who made the cross is unkown; it is very old and was given to my province from Italy. Mark-Joseph Costello, student of the Chicago Art Institute and consultant for worship spaces all over the world (including McDonnell Chapel at Saint Xavier University), designed the chapel where this image was taken. Since the object of this photo trace was made from wood, various considerations had to be made in the composition of this piece. First and foremost, the wood carving does have a few smooth surfaces. Its many edges are pronounced and drastic from its original crafter. Second, the wood is porous and reflects light in a unique, non-uniform fashion. Various greens, browns, reds, magentas, and values of grey compose areas in this image. Third, the image captures an image of depth: a 3-dimentional object casting a 2-dimentional shadow onto a flat, angled surface. A strategy had to be made before attempting to render the photo. I drew the cross first because it had the smoothest surface, and it serves as the base for the rest of the image. the cross also has the widest range of

layers on layers, the composition required over 1000 layers and over 30 hours of work to complete. While I didnt actually time myself as I worked on the project, 30 hours is the best estimate I can make. As I continued to draw and compare the trace with the original picture, I was aware of a desire to render as realistic an image as possible. It was not necessarily because of the picture, but because of the theological importance that the image represented, and that the trace would also represent. Reminded of the European artists who painted images of the Bible in such a way that their works were used to instruct and to provide a visual connection to those who visited the churches and cathedrals, my hope is that my work provieds a visual connection with the viewers faith. I realized that the overall concept of the piece would be theological in nature, and one that would be emphasized with a composition that best rendered reality. The construction of the head was the most exhaustive process. Countless shapes and hues were used to render an overall image that was as real as the original. Each small shape was traced against the original, then a proper hue was selected to best represent that area. Sometimes the decision of the color value and the hue were as exhaustive as the drawing of the actual shape. And since much of the work was done up close, I was forced to zoom in and out to see how the viewer would eventually see the artwork. Similar to how an artist, in creating a large-scale piece may need to step back and view the entire work, I also needed to zoom out and view the process from a number of different sizes and angles. At times I felt like Michaelangelo, attempting to paint an entire ceiling with a single brush...trusting that the small details I was making would be part of a greater image seen from further away. While the crucifix is an easily recognizable icon that grabs the viewers attention, I wanted the back-

ground to be a functioning part of the piece as well. The background of Eccolo is an important part of the artwork in that it creates realism out of simple 2-dimentional illustration. In our chapel, the actual crucifix stands near the wall, where a specific light is designated to create the shodow as seen in the image. Because of this, the shadow creates a detailed profile of the crucifix, which is an artwork all its own. So in properly rendering the backgroup for this piece, not only was I building a 3-dimentional space to increase overall realism, but I was including another artisitc image into the overall photo trace. By tracing the shadow, I was presented with the challenge of not only creating a slanted and angled backdrop to give the appearance of viewing the crucifix from the lower-right side, but I also needed to properly hint at a light source coming from above and to left. And while the wood carving provided sharp changes in color, the white wall was a smooth gradient that showed different values of grey. To properly render this, I selected a color from the original picture, then used a transparent radial

gradient to transfer from the background color to the white that would represent the light source. I adjusted the opacity of the gradient as well as of the shadow in hopes of meshing the two together. Perhaps the final touch is the use of the title as part of the artwork. Our class only requires that we add our name and some information to each piece, but not specifically how we do it. Not wanting to disturb the dimentionality that is created in the piece, or detract the viewers experience by creating a title that appears out-of-place, I used the 3-D text tool to warp the text in a way that would perpetuate the illusion of a flat wall behind the crucifix. The word eccolo is Italian for Behold Him, a Christological understanding that was started with Saint Clare of Assisi. Behold him, consider him, contemplate him...and desire to imitate him is the entire quote. Wanting a title that would both set the concept of this piece while still convincing the viewer of the 3-dimensional nature of the image, the title became part of the image. The text was rendered using the 3-D Object tool in Illustrator, then matched to align with the overall angle of the image. The text works to convince the viewer that they are seeing this object from a specific angle, that they are viewing the object near a flat surface, and the depth of the overall piece is real. Perhaps the greatest reward of making this photo
trace in Adobe Illustrator is that it has transformed my own prayer experience. When I attend prayer in the mornings and evenings, this crucifix is always there. For a time, it was just another object in our worship space. However after spending so much time painstakingly trying to re-create the realism of the actual carving and its position in our chapel, the actual crucifix has become a tool for personal reflection as I spend my time in prayer. u

Filling It In
Using a variety of brush sizes, color values, and stroke types, reality can be rendered in unique ways.
uring week three of our Computer Graphics class, we were given two different tasks. The first was to make three drawings using values of color to render an image. The second task was to move away from line strokes and use a letter or number to create an image. All images were made using Adobe Illustrator and a Bamboo graphic tablet. All images were completed on my Mac Book Pro. When crafting the various drawings, I tried to used different brush sizes in order to produce different results. Generally, smaller brush sizes create a scratchy look when used to create an entire image. The wine bottle pictured on the left was made using a 2pt brush, while a 3 pt brush was used to fill in the negative space. It gives the appearance of a wire or wicker construction. A black box lies behind half of the image. When compared with the white rectangle at the bottom half, it produces an attractive effect for the eye. The black also accentuates teh blue values in the bottle while contrasting the white. The metal water bottle shows how different brush sizes can be used to create an overall image. The image was initially constructed with quick, horizontal lines. This is a trick to quickly sketch the overall shape of the container. I then used fat, vertical lines...giving the appearance of a smooth surface. Small lines were used on the top of the water bottle in order to capture that various light values as well as to render depth. White space was used to represent this area under the cap as a way of drawing the viewer towards the top of the image.

Using different brush shapes and strokes can have a drastic effect on the overall feel of the piece.
Pictured: Wine bottle made by using the number 3 (right), while a smoother tea cup is rendered by using the letter D (below).
Perhaps as contrast, this bowl shows the opposite effect of a brush stroke. I realized that the X was going to create a very different type of image than the other values Id used previously. Even when laying the backdrop of the image, I realized that this would not be a smooth or soft piece like the others. Aware of this, I chose to emphasize the harsh and jagged nature of this rendering. Initially the eye is drawn to the blue bowl, then to the large X in the background. The small brush creates a thatched look, as if the bowl could actually represent a blue bird house. Overall, the use of this stroke creates an angry and abrasive feel, and the smooth bowl is lost in the overwhelming emotion that the X evokes from the viewer.

Line Drawings
he first lesson of my computer graphics class focused on getting used to the various tools. The assignment was simple: make 5 sketches using exactly 100 strokes in each drawing.Not knowing how to start, I drew what was on my desk at the time: a pop can.
Definition - pop: A word used in various parts of the midwest to refer to carbonated beverages. A synonym for soda. If someone asks you for a pop, please dont hit them in the face.
The candle holder was an image I tried with a smaller brush. I found the smaller brush to be tougher to use, and that it renders a scratchy look to my drawings. Like the pop can, I drew this image several times before choosing to keep this one. In the future, I will prefer to use at least a 2pt brush.

This drawing is of a 3-stemmed candle holder. Oddly enough, I tend to have a lot of different kinds of candle
holders in my house. I felt the most comfortable drawing this object. Using a graphic tablet takes practice, and this image felt fluid. The drawing uses both vertical and horizontal lines to represent the rectangular edges on the base. A 2pt brush was used.

The coffee cup sketch allowed me to work on my vertical stroke...something I already recognize as a weakness. I actually drew this image 3 times...this is the drawing I chose to keep.

The hexagonal vase proved to be a tough image to draw for two reasons. First, it used vertical strokes exclusively. Second, the shape of the object presented some issues Id not foreseen... issues in the fact that I am not a artist and I could not sufficiently render the dimensions of the object. In its defense, the vertical strokes felt more fluid in this drawing.

he phenomenon is known by different names: vigilante programmers call it hacktivism. Skeptics call it slacktivism. Yet others working for change call it digital humanitarianism. Regardless of the name there is an increasing phenomena amoung people who, through the use of their skills and Web connection, are attempting to raise awareness, create change, or actually influence the transfer of data for a political cause. With a mandate to evangelize the digital continent, it can be confusing for people to understand everything in the context of their faith as to what is charitable, what is justice, and what kind of commitment is required of us. Perhaps the first question to ask is whether these causes are bringing about real change, or whether they only make us feel better.

Anonymous are the comic book heroes of the 21ist century - masked and united for a cause to benefit humanity from the evil plots of corporations. The actions of Anonymous are no longer the exception. One of the most common reasons given for hacking are political, not personal. Regardless of whether or not the interpretation is correct, the idea that hackers are troublesome nerds looking to create mayhem and destruction for pesonal pleasure is no longer a relevant narrative. In an article on Life Hacker, author Adam Dachis writes: Sometimes disobedience is good when rules fail us, and its at the core of why we hack. Whether you call it Hacktivism or Cyber-Terrorism, its probably at the forefront of digital activism today. Todays radical activist isnt traspassing on government property or actively obstructing some action, rather they are hacking email accounts, sharing confidential documents on WikiLeaks, blocking interet access, and even bringing down web sites. In December of 2011, the Russian preliminary elections were pounded by various hacks across the entire country.

Finding the Right Answer
In the 21st century, how do we properly define activisim and engage in meaningful causes that seek justice for the oppressed and best reflects the Kingdom of God that we as Catholic Christians are called to live? Perhaps there is a feeling that: At least Im doing something to make the world a better place. Yet, if we are to live in accordance with our baptismal call, shouldnt we always doing some thing to make our world a better place (or at least always trying)? Perhaps in response to desctructive actions by those from Anonymous, an agressive movement and demonstration of public disturbance, we recognize the achievements of those who sought non-violent means of protest.Despite numerous attempts to bomb and destroy his radio tower, Archbishop Oscar Romero used radio to speak out against injustice and preached a message of compassion and reconciliation based on the Gospel. Cesar Chavez aned Delores Huerta actively supported the rights of farm workers through non-violent means while still raising public awareness. There are numerous modern-day examples of people who took action in the face of injustice to raise awareness. When it comes to popular Internet causes, perhaps we should see things like the Kony video as invitations to do more with our lives. Our default should not be the

Creative Development
hough few might actually know, the appreciation for the arts is a large part of Franciscan spirituality. While Jesuits and Dominicans are often considered to be the heady religious, the Franciscans are more about the heart...acknowledging the love of God as the reason for Jesus incarnation. Capuchin friar Michael Gaffney is an example of such a friar. Mike started off as a printer and photographer at St. Lawrence Seminary in Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin. Most of his work involved fundraising for the school, and he was able to nourish his love for the arts in this role. Years later he would be moved to Detroit with the Solanus Center and the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. He describes time as entering the creative side of development and used his skills to raise funds for various ministries in the Detroit area. One of the unique aspects of Brother Michael is that hes used his role in Detroit to transcend various mediums of art. He is an accomplished painter as well as a sculpter. Hes done various bronze casting projects for the Capuchins as well as other ministries. Hes worked with paint, clay, wood, plaster, and most of the traditional mediums. Other forms of work include: graphic design, ink-pointillism, iconography, street art, and logo design. As the role of art has changed, Brother Michael has also expanded his gift. Hed done various pieces through Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Regarding the choice of hues, David says: I had a short time to make many [images], it seemed easier to limit my color palette. While the images are solely black and white, the effect of the vertical, wide chalk strokes provides a soft background for the focus of the image. The brighter areas around the main icons also draw the eyes deeper into each image.

a sweet melody of the spirit bubbling up inside him would become a French tune, and would break out in a song of joy. He would pick up a stick from the ground and put it over his left arm, while holding a bow bent with a string in his right hand, drawing it over the stick as if it were a viola, performing all the right movements, and in French would sing about the Lord. All this dancing often ended in tears, and the song of joy dissolved into compassion for Christs suffering. He was caught up to heaven.

Christology of Marc Chagall
During February of 2012, I was required to attend a tour at the Chicago Art Institute. During this tour, we were required to pick one piece of art as the masterpiece of the Institute, and explain this critique. The piece that I found most impressive, and the piece that I think stands as the masterpiece of the Institute, is Chagalls White Crucifixion. This is an oil painting on canvas, done in 1938. The time is significant in that it the piece speaks to the reality of Jewish oppression that was taking place in Europe at this time. The piece is composed rather simply, with not much detail in the figures or objects that exist on the canvas. Chagall uses the crucifix to immediately draw attention of the viewer. The crucifixion is an extremely recognizable icon that has tremendous meaning, and by using it he draws the viewers attention and creates an immediate conceptual idea. Not much color is used in this piece, nor does this piece demonstrate great depth or detail. The few changes in color values are dramatic; grey is the only gradient in this image. One can assume that the drastic value differences were chosen by the artist to draw attention to those areas. There are two light-sources: one that is rendered to come from above the painting, as well as a small light source below the feet of Jesus. These light sources do not create shadows, but rather emphasize those immediate objects. White Crucifixion is composed in the ways of an iconography rather than a painting intended to render a perfect realism. The overall image is a story, composed of smaller images that have a specific meaning. And when all these small stories are put together into a large painting, an overarching story is told. Like other artists such as John August Swanson, Chagall is interested in the narrative much more than in the realism of the image. And it is the concept that makes this piece the best in the Institute. Much of Chagalls work surrounds the events of World War II and the treatment of Jews at this time. Perhaps this influenced his decision to emphasize the Jewish lineage of Jesus. The image presents a Jewish Jesus, along with the biblical patriarchs and matriarch, at the time of crucifixion. Surrounding the crucifixion are other

symbols of oppression and martyrdom that are happening at the time this painting was made. While this painting was made as the Holocaust was starting, Chagall would have also been knowledgeable of the larger theological implications of a Jewish Jesus image. Soon after the death of Jesus, as the Gospels were being written, there came a shift in the recognition of Jesus as the Messianic Figure from the line of David. As evident in the letters of Paul, the desire was to take the message of Jesus to the Gentiles, and in doing so, the image of Jesus was eventually removed from his Jewish roots. The Christological statement that this painting makes is astounding as it attempts to reach back in time to re-capture an understanding of faith that has been lost through the generations. u
