I have quite a bit of blog catching up to do – lots going on over here that I’d love to share – but have been a bit snowed under. Here’s one reason why: I JUST SUBMIT MY 286-page PHD DISSERTATION. Like, less than a minute ago. No sh!t. Slightly anti-climactic, and there’s still a [...]
That’s right. The co-founder of Wikipedia has joined the Facebook Group for Wikipedia Art. How’s that for some credibility? If only these guys agreed (still marked for deletion). The group.

It enacts and exposes [...]

Last night’s DATA, featuring Karl Klomp, Wolf Lieser and Jane Tynan, and part of the Darklight Festival (organized by Caroline Campbell and hosted by yours truly) was extremely rad.

I’m presenting a bit from my dissertation (some writing and works from chapters 1, 2 and mostly 4 – not that it’s done) at this conference at the University College of Dublin in a few weeks. If last year’s graduate student conference on philosophy and embodiment was any indication, this year’s should be grand. UCD [...]

Alessandro showed his Google Will Eat Itself and Amazon Noir, and Jaime did a live networked performance [...]
