The <em>ner pulli nelevu kolam</em> is a type of winding knot-like pattern drawn around a matrix of dots. Women across Tami Nadu draw Kolam patterns with rice or chalk powder on their doorsteps in the early morning. These Kolam patterns have many meanings, including progress of a woman through life, and the protection and beautification of the household, and are seen as a sort of visual prayer which invites gods into the home, while warding away demons.</p> <p>Help Dr Waring and his team enter and analyze exotic Kolam data from South India, including a set of 6000 Kolam patterns, a social network of women artists. Use the visual interactive computer system created by Dr Waring to draw and transcribe Kolam patterns into a digital format.</p> <p>Contact: Tim Waring, Human Ecologist Assistant Professor School of Economics &amp; Sustainability Solutions Initiative</p> <p>Credit: Research credit will be organized for successful applicants</p> <p>Please view these <a href="http://timwaring.wordpress.com/kolam/">Samples of Kolam Artwork</a></p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.cugr.umaine.edu/db/job/200/the-kolam-project-computational-anthropology-at-tim-waring/">Apply to this job</a><br /> http://www.cugr.umaine.edu/db/job/200/the-kolam-project-computational-anthropology-at-tim-waring/ 2011-04-19 10:48:26
