Wits Digital Soiree: The disruptive new media art of Jonah Brucker-Cohen
When I was in Dublin a couple of months ago, Jonah tossed me a DVD of his work. Last night, I presented that, as well as some more recent stuff from his web site to a nicely-sized South African audience of artists (with a running commentary on the work, the person, the environments, etc - Christo Doherty helped with the crit and witticisms, of course).
It went down a hoot! We also launched the concept of at.joburg (Art & Technology, Johannesburg); the web site will go live in about 2 weeks - watch this space for more info! at.joburg is loosely based on Jonah B-C and Nicky Gogan’s (of The Digital Hub) group, DATA (the Dublin Art and Technology Association), where people crossing these boundaries take to the streets and show their stuff!
