I have been making things happen.<br />I just feel that I need to at least address the media issue right now. Human expression is something that is protected under some governments and denied under others. People express information through media. Media includes contextual landscapes and technology. The action always goes back to the person and the translation of information in media. Foot prints in sand is a translation of time and being in media. Displacement and change of ink and pixels is a way to translate and convey information through media. The documentary was current until last week. please share.<br /><br /><object width="416" height="258"><param name="movie" value="http://svt.se/embededflash/2264028/play.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><embed src="http://svt.se/embededflash/2264028/play.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" width="416" height="258"></embed></object><br /><br />Fuck media control.mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-35020966734023149222010-11-15T09:36:00.001-08:002010-11-15T09:50:29.257-08:00writing on the walls.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.designboom.com/cms/images/erica/---roman/02.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 501px; height: 345px;" src="http://www.designboom.com/cms/images/erica/---roman/02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This <a href="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/11935/roman-ondak-at-the-temporary-stedelijk.html">installation</a> project by<br />slovakian artist <a href="http://www.kontakt-collection.net/artists/Roman+Ondak/">roman ondák</a> is a living infographic.

" A recent rereading of Foucault's' 1967 "Of Other Spaces - Heterotopias" essay was an inspiration since it perfectly defined the intent of much of this work - to create paintings in which several different locations or spaces are made to coexist within one space. In some ways, any of my paintings could be called heterotopic - "juxtaposing in a single real place several spaces, several sites that are themselves incompatible." Ideas of how we construct our realities and selves through language, social structure, geography, etc. offers a seemingly endless band of possibilities - my work as a painter is knitting the world together in a kind of visual globalism."mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-61468972186298500432010-05-26T17:23:00.000-07:002010-05-26T17:24:11.594-07:00past clips...<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/og2l7DVVSIU&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/og2l7DVVSIU&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-89149506911189740322010-05-25T17:40:00.000-07:002010-05-26T19:54:47.813-07:00also<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12008707&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12008707&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/12008707">Future Movie 1</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/ninamariebarbuto">nina marie barbuto</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-33690001690011274202010-05-25T15:50:00.000-07:002010-05-25T16:04:05.250-07:00breath taking medias (take me back)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hollisbrownthornton.com/images/2010/large/hbt10-p020large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 411px; height: 308px;" src="http://www.hollisbrownthornton.com/images/2010/large/hbt10-p020large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.hollisbrownthornton.com/">Hollis Brown Thorton</a> lives and works in a warehouse studio in Aiken, South Carolina.

Snazzy. </span><br />Here is a snip from his artist statement that I really enjoyed.. "The environments in the work are constructed of both the tangible and the remote, things that are already understood and things in a vague state of formation. For instance, images in the photographs are tangible aspects of reality, frozen moments in time, people and places that exist, or at one time existed. Erasing or obscuring elements of the photograph puts the situation in a state of transition. Adding the lines and drawings adds other influences and potentials. Sometimes these lines are controlled by the elements in the photograph and sometimes they are completely independent. But the figures in the photographs, they are the reason the myths exist, they are the questioners who come up with the stories and explanations, so their environment is altered to represent these uncertainties and changing beliefs."<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hollisbrownthornton.com/images/2010/large/hbt10-p020large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 2000px; height: 1503px;" src="http://www.hollisbrownthornton.com/images/2010/large/hbt10-p020large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-74506146122250475322010-05-21T13:40:00.000-07:002010-05-21T13:54:57.746-07:00awesome things...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2nmgcVbfKE">This</a>... is totally worth your eyes... <span>Eric Wareheim is a genious.. and a great dodge ball player as well... this one is also freaking great. <object height="360" width="580"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gBcd5aj_YhI&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gBcd5aj_YhI&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="360" width="580"></embed></object> Just throwing the awesomeness out there for you...<br /></span>mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619914767556702176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310365040345687515.post-80471997291301518612010-05-16T10:12:00.000-07:002010-05-16T19:00:19.062-07:00artfully urban..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://pre.cloudfront.goodinc.com/posts/post_full_1273877613WomensWork-7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://pre.cloudfront.goodinc.com/posts/post_full_1273877613WomensWork-7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slideluckpotshow.com/">Slideluck Potshow</a> is a non-profit organization devoted to building and strengthening community around food and art. Casey Kelbaugh, dt Their objective is also to promote public appreciation of the visual arts and to provide art education opportunities to school-age children in New York City. Participants in the slideshow exhibitions are encouraged to take creative risks, in terms of content and presentation, and to not just show their portfolios. This is not a way for self marketing. Each slideshow exhibition has a section with a theme, as well as non-themed section.<br />At each Slideluck Potshow event, the exhibition is preceded by a potluck-style dinner. Attendees bring food and drink, as the evening begins with two hours of dining on the home-cooked delights of the participants, while drinking and mingling. This brilliant combination is what was attempted at the <a href="http://getridofwhitewalls.com/">G.R.O.W.W.</a> potluck/craft nights. Where Slideluck brings it to the next level is through the Slideluck Youth Initiative, an after-school workshop targeted for New York City public middle and high school students. It is designed to increase education and participation in the visual arts. SLYI has formulated a 12-week curriculum that includes lessons from guest photographers and field trips to local photo studios or galleries, and culminates in a student slideshow exhibition.<br />I want to get in touch with the founder <a href="http://www.caseykelbaugh.com/">Casey Kelbaugh</a> and talk to him about starting one in Pittsburgh.
