Thanks to MTAA<\/a> for this interesting link: artfacts.net: top 100 ranking artists<\/a>. Yes, the list does go beyond 100, and even explains how the ranking works. SA’s own William Kentridge is at 33, I’m proud to say (well above Matthew Barney, which is surprising, yet comforting). Would you believe I’m not even listed<\/a>? What a sham!<\/p>\n

Also from MTAA, an installation version<\/a> of their extremely compelling turbulence<\/a> commission, 1 year performance video (aka samHsiehUpdate)<\/a>. Sounds hot.<\/p>\n

And thanks to some dandy blogs via my li’l OS X news reader (shrook!<\/a>), I also found the following interesting tidbits:<\/p>\n

Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication<\/a> – an interesting looking book by John Durham Peters, which Marika<\/a> says is a great read. Her blog is kinda nice ;)<\/p>\n

And two great ITP<\/a> (check out their new website<\/a>!) courses offered by the amiable Douglas Rushkoff<\/a>:
\nTheoretical Perspectives on Interactivity<\/a> and
\nStorytelling For Active & Interactive Media<\/a><\/p>\n
