I’m in Bangalore, India with my good friend and collaborator, Scott Kildall (among many others – including my friend Heather Ford!), participating and presenting at the Centre for Internet and Society’s CPOV (Critical Point of View): WikiWars. So far, so interesting. Our paper is tomorrow, entitled Wikipedia Art: Citation as Performative Act. There will be [...]
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 [...]
Eve Sussman & Rufus Corporation, along with the Edward Winkleman Gallery, have produced a large edition of an ongoing video art work that comes complete with a player and screen.

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 [...]

SEE THE CALL AND THE REMIXES SO FAR Wikipedia Art – originally an editable encyclopedia entry as art work – applied for and was denied citizenship on Wikipedia. It now seeks refugee status in Venice through the establishment of The Wikipedia Art Embassy. Encyclopedic ambassadors, Scott Kildall and Nathaniel Stern, invite writings on, and creative [...]

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 [...]
Documentation of several pieces from Night Work, with printmaker Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, is now live. Night Work, an exhibition featuring Milwaukee-based art professors and instructors at the artist-run Armoury Gallery, premiered my new body of collaborative works with printmaker Jessica Meuninck-Ganger. Playfully called “Distill Life,” this ongoing series of art objects combines hand-made works on paper [...]

By making a sort of readymade art object from a Wikipedia page, Nathaniel Stern, of [...]
