Michael Szpakowski, also of DVblog, says (via rhizome): …this is great & quite the strangest thing you’ve ever made. The tone is quite disturbing, made me quite nervous, but it’s [...]
I wrote this post on a long lost high school friend and current rock star a while back, and so it seems some Ingrid Michaelson fans (good taste ladies and gents) are winding up on my blog. If you are one of them, you should be aware of a live chat with Ingrid this weekend. [...]
I rarely look up a song I’ve heard on television. Maybe on a late night show now and again (I think I found Corinne Bailey Ray thanks to a meta-late night show, Studio 60), or something in a movie, but on TV, not so much. But after the third time I had turned to my [...]

Christo Doherty writes lyrical about Andre’s performance (via atjoburg): The featured artist at this month’s Upgrade! at Wits Digital Arts was Andre SC (André S Clements), a new media manipulator and self-confessed “pixel maniac” who has recently begun exploring an approach to image processing which he calls “post-digital abstraction”.

Check it. [...]

the storytellers: works from the non-aggressive narrative So, more than a year and a half after the fact (and thanks to Sean Slemon, who insisted on lo-res versions of all my prints before deciding on a trade for his sculpture), I finally uploaded a photoset of my first major solo show to flickr.
