There’s a brief review of the Jozi and the (M)other City<\/a> net.art site on Artthrob<\/a>, by Chad Rossouw. Snip on me:<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Stern, a natural on the web, produced the most engaging work. He challenged the above-mentioned Sean O’Toole to live without electricity for a day. The documentation of their correspondence is a good insight into the process of negotiation, slightly more interesting than the concept of negotiating urban life without power.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m glad Rossouw took some time to read said negotiations. As I say in the piece itself, the texts surrounding the “event” – both before and after – were undoubtedly the “work”of the work, and most effectively got to the heart of the social relationships I was trying to accent. (There are some neat photos and a video, too, of course…)<\/p>\n

The physical exhibition opened yesterday in Cape Town – I have no idea how the installation version looked, or about much of anyone else’s work (although online, it all looks very interesting; I especially like Marcus\u00c2\u00a0 Nuestetter’s piece<\/a>). Will post reviews and\/or pics as I have them.<\/p>\n

PS I moved to Wisconsin about 4 weeks ago. More on that when the dust settles….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
