Art Connect

Implicit Art gets a thoughtful and good review on Art Connect. It’s rare to see so much time taken to reflect what makes a good blog, or a good art site, and this space does both. Check it.

SUBMIT!

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 [...]

Jimmy Wales likes Wikipedia Art

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. Or click image to see that he is a member – this is for real, people. Tags: Ireland Art, Links, art, art and tech, creative [...]

Wikipedia Art update (and updated)

Lots of cool edits to the page – see the history as well. Huge debate roaring as well. My favorite quote here (followed by mini argument) is by Wikipedia user “shmeck,” aka contemporary artist Shane Mecklenburger: KEEP The Wikipedia Art page is a self-aware example of Wikipedia’s mission of collective epistemology. It enacts and exposes [...]

Tops of 2008: A Different Kind of Year in Review

Merry Christmakkah! Happy new year! The turkey is defrosting (mmmm, bourbon basting), Sidonie stayed up late (for a two year old) last night eating chocolate and playing with her new doll house from her ouma (OMG I have the cutest daughter ever), and I have little bit of morning to pound out a blog on [...]

DATA and the Debate in Dublin

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. Ben’s photos will be up soon, and in the interim, I highly recommend doing a little googling on these three – especially interesting to me were [...]

holiday! (and more)

Had a fairly productive week working on my dissertation, and am now off to Belfast for a self-proclaimed long weekend – to celebrate Sid‘s 2nd birthday, Nicole and my 6-year wedding anniversary, and my own birthday (all of these in the span of 2 weeks)! We’ve never been up to Northern Ireland, and I have [...]

UCD Intercorporeality and Intersubjectivity Conference

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 [...]
