How Much Does WordPress Rock?
Some students and I were Skyping with Stelarc the other day… Yes, I know, fucking Stelarc! Yes he showed us the ear. After the meeting one of my students drew a line in the air, gestured to one side, and said, “this is my life before today,” then pushed his hand across the invisible line, [...]
Where is Public Space?
If you have to push a door to get inside, it’s not public. LOS ANGELES, February 25 — The final day of CAA had two simultaneous panels that I was really interested in: Mobile Art: The Aesthetics of Mobile Network Culture in Place Making, Part II and Art in the Public Realm: Activism & Interventions [...]
Code as Craft
LOS ANGELES, February 24 — CAA Panel: Code as Craft: Programming in the Art & Design Curriculum CHAIR: • Michael Salmond, Florida Gulf Coast University Fostering Play & Rewarding Failure in the Pedagogy of Programming • Jason Bernagozzi, Alfred State College, State University of New York – Endless pursuit of the new – Guide [...]
Archipelagos
For about a week now I’ve been walking across two archipelagos… a mental archipelago of art… and a physical archipelago of islands… the reverberation of my footstep in one reality seems to sync up with the footsteps from the other so that the experiences seem to both spatially and viscerally map onto each other and [...]
The “Privileging” of Visual Art
LOS ANGELES, February 24 — CAA Panel: Is it Time to Question the “Privileging” of Visual Art? CHAIRS: • Greta Berman, The Juilliard School – Synaesthesia: Art & The Mind • Ellen K. Levy, New York – CAA Interview Except for Rosalind Krauss who overflowed the largest room of the conference, all the panels I [...]
Public Art in the Virtual Sphere
LOS ANGELES, February 23 — CAA Panel: Public Art Dialog: Public Art in the Virtual Sphere During this panel John Craig Freeman told a story, the most remarkable testament to Augmented Reality (AR) as an art & culture medium that I’ve ever heard: During the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, protesters created “The Goddess of [...]
Border Memorial Field Test and Documentation
Reblogged from John Craig Freeman: On Tuesday, January 16th, after three days of driving from New England, I arrived in Benson Arizona, which put me on the shore of the Border Memorial database. I spent the next two days driving throughout southern Arizona documenting as many of the individual data points as possible. The work [...]
Sheryl Oring
LOS ANGELES, February 23 – Sheryl Oring is a typist. I really like typists. Honestly, in my line of work, a typist is sort of your best friend. I say “in my line of work,” I guess I mean, “in my way of being,” since I’m an NCP. No, not an NPC, an NCP. What [...]
College Art Association
LOS ANGELES, February 22 – At the end of the 1984 adaptation of The Razor’s Edge, on departing from Elliott Templeton’s Parisian palace, Larry tells Joseph the butler that he’s going home. Joseph asks him where that is, and Larry replies “America.” I’ve lived in The Hague for ten years now. I came as a [...]
Day 26
Yesterday I reached land’s end, LEA17. That, and, even if I hadn’t, my bones have grown weary of this 64°N latitude. It’s way time to head south. How I dream of slipping into non-frigid equatorial waters. And it is a dream. I am so far from that, that it might as well be another life. [...]
Day 25
About 33 months ago I discovered evaxebra’s contributions to the daily self-portrait phenomena “365 Days.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/evaxebra/ hahaha, and it only, apparently, takes me 33 months to get around to starting something, so about 25 days ago I started posting a self-portrait a day. I tried DailyBooth and 500px, both really cool sites, but I think [...]
Who Is Your Hero?
This is not a fashion entry today. I am sorry I have no pretty pictures. It’s just a tribute to one of my heroes.
Looking Forward: My New Role at ReactionGrid – Chief Learning Officer
Reblogged from Be Cunning and Full of Tricks: It’s been a year since I started working at ReactionGrid, and my initial role with the company was Director of Community Development. As of this month, I’m very excited to announce that I have been promoted to Chief Learning Officer. As Chief Learning Officer, I’ll be responsible [...]
I Wore a Mesh Dress & I Liked It
OMG, so much IDK if I’ll ever wear a system or prim dress again! This makes me think about amateurs and ghettos. AMATEURS The beauty of a “building” oriented virtual world is that anyone can, with moderate ease, make anything. It’s not hard to take an image or slogan you like and have your avatar [...]
Tao
Reblogged from The Virtual Adventures of Monerda and Pennyroyal: Ok, here’s the thing. It takes a lot to make me gasp and get goose bumps. It takes even more to make me want to take off all my clothes and immerse myself naked in a work of art! But that is exactly what the Tao [...]
