Here.
It’s been re-blogged several times already, but I want to re-iterate that Paddy Johnson is really smart. Again. The former link is especially relevant to me, given my recent printmaking adventures, which touch on several kinds of expression and abstraction, through time and performance (among other things)…
Now available is a newly exported and less buggy podcast of odys for your ipod, or watch all 6 videos on youtube (these are in reverse chronological order – you can feel free to jump around, or start at the bottom and work your way up):

Enjoy!

Howdy all. If you remember, early last year I developed a new WordPress theme as part of the launch of SAartsEmerging.org – promoting and critiquing emerging South African artists. That site is now maintained by Bronwyn Lace and Rat Western, and you should keep an eye out for upcoming changes.
Given the popularity of this theme, I’ve decided to release a new, widget-compatible version, and you can expect all future releases to be maintained from this site. I believe the most beneficial aspect of this 2-column design is its easy customization. The zip file includes:
Download the zip file. (open source CC/GPL)
As you can see, this blog now also uses the new artsemerging theme (with a “widgetized” sidebar – note that all changes happened in the WP interface – I needed no code in any of the php files to customize this), and this coincides with the announcement of some upcoming changes around here — as I concentrate on my PhD research and writing over the next year, blogging will again pick up pace, mostly concentrating on thoughts and works related to my dissertation topic. You’ll see texts (rants?) that intersect between performance studies, art, embodiment and technology, and eventually a re-design of this whole site to match my thesis (this, over the next 4-5 months). In the meanwhile, note that “nathaniel and the non-aggressive” is no more, and this blog is henceforth to be known as “implicit art.” Enjoy the theme, and the blog, and please let me know if you encounter any problems, in the comments section.
More soon!
Paddy’s favorite piece of mine is now on YouTube. See the work in action, stuttering (also below), or watch a video with voiceover of me telling what it’s all about….
