nader has his reasons

I’ve recently been having a discussion about Nader’s decision to run for president with a few friends at ITP. Unintentionally, this article made one of my points for me. It quoted John Kerry as saying that he intends to "speak to all Americans. If people want to beat George Bush badly, and that’s what’s at [...]

funbuff can be fun

Momentous!!! OK, so, about 3 years ago, I took this class at ITP on Max/MSP ( Jitter did not yet exist; if it had, I surely would have tried harder). Anyhow, I recently made a purchase of this fantastic package, and have been wading through the tutorials (could this be a move from Director to [...]

blahdybloopdeehey

“An imaginary look inside dropout Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean’s head as he agonizes over whether to endorse John Edwards against John Kerry, “ by Deborah Orin. this is pretty funny. Budget Plan May Block Extension of Tax Cuts – gee, do you really think they should? PREZ TO BACK GAY-WED BAN – I expect [...]

two more

Two more links, then to work (been a very web-surfy morning): A R T T H R O B features Rhizome’s feature on A R T T H R O B – the latter of which I wrote. Jonah Brucker-Cohen & katherine moriwaki are finally collaborating: UMBRELLA.net will use weather conditions as a potential node-generator [...]

imploration

Although I’m sad to see Howard Dean drop out of the race, I implore those of you he excited to stay in the political game. We should either still vote for him on primary day in our states, or else vote for John Edwards. I feel Edwards is a much better/stronger candidate than Kerry, with [...]

jitter is a bit of alright

SO, about two weeks ago, I finally got a chance to play with Jitter. I was meant to do a video-text performance with some friends at the Pretoria Art Museum (went very well, actually), and so played with a bunch of Max and Jitter tutorials to get some nifty visuals. Since then, though, I’ve been [...]

blog because i can

Can’t sleep. Can’t work. Can’t make art. What’s going on? I suddenly feel unforeseen amounts of empathy for all those people out there who suffer from insomnia. One night of this and I’m already going nuts… Tags: uncategorical

on the rhiz

Rhizome.org: stuttering – now featured in the artbase! For those still thinking, rhizome’s call for net.art proposals has now been extended to March 7th (members only, but just $5US to join). And on the political front (though I seem to have lost some enthusiasm due to Dean’s downtrend, I have hope for a new America, [...]

carine @ artthrob

Near-Digital SA: Interventionist Influence (an e-interview with Carine Zaayman) was just published on rhizome. Should be free to view it on Friday (complete with pic of Carine!). Non-rhizome copy of the interesting piece (if I do say so myself) is here. Will be in Rhizome Digest next weekend. Tags: art and tech, carine zaayman, me, [...]

action, where’s my script

Make that Jo Ractliffe solo exhibition a duo show with Terry Kurgan (see entry from 2 days ago)…. Been diving headlong into Flash MX and getting into actionscript lately. Although a bit daunting, it’s not very dissimilar from j-script, or any other scripting language that matter. I was expecting it to be closer to lingo [...]
