Had my VIVA yesterday, for my dissertation. It was awesome – amazing feedback, a great discussion, some provocative comments. My examiners really engaged with the text in ways that any doctoral student would be thrilled by. I’ll write about it some time, but am too busy celebrating right now. Anyhow, no revisions: I’m a doctor. [...]
I’ve penned a review for the Milwaukee Art Museum’s American Furniture/Googled exhibition, and it’s up on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / Mary-Louise Schumacher’s “Art City” site. Teaser: The “American Furniture/Googled” exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum through Sunday is a surprisingly interesting show, even if only in its promise. Little did I expect, when going [...]

Wow. I almost forgot I had a blog. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been working on a whole lot of art. Video-print-object things like this, scanner stuff like that, interactive installations like these (actually, mostly been updating a few of these pieces to new versions with openFrameworks, while brainstorming a new piece), and [...]

Spending lots of time in the studio these days. Working on many pieces that continue my still very very new Distill Life series (using mostly machinima video from Second Life and combining that with prints and drawings), some Compressionist prints, and a kind of mixed reality minimalist video installation called Given Time that I am [...]

Nice to see Jimbo talk about Art and Wikipedia. It’s worth a read if only to hear how carefully Wikipedia’s figure-head thinks and speaks in relation to notability and possibilities with arts coverage on Wikipedia. I agree with all of what he says (although it’s admittedly very noncommittal – so hard to disagree with), and [...]
Night Work / Distill Life sees a couple of blog features, namely on DVblog and Networked Performance. Thanks Jo and Michael!

Documentation of several pieces from Night Work, with printmaker Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, is now live.
