So, it’s been hektik. I had a performance with the FATC<\/a> (hoping to get some picks and press online soon-ish – the response was overwhelmingly positive!), have my solo at the KKNK<\/a> coming up next week, have been working on some stuff for the Grahamstown Festival with Toni Olivier, and am way behind on my grading for teaching…. Did I also mention that at any given moment, I am working on, like, 80 proposals that will never see the light of day?<\/p>\n

[insert over-exaggerated sigh that begs you to love me.] sigh. The artist’s life [insert big performative hand gestures that pretend to say something but actually say nothing at all]!<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I’m emptying out my images from my camera today, and will get to my phone images sometime in the next few days (and we’ll just forget the shows I’ve seen that I didn’t have a camera for at all).<\/p>\n

nicebots at wits<\/p>\n

Here’s Daniel Hirschmann – Wits Fine Arts BA and Masters from ITP – presenting his collaborative nicebots<\/em>, from, well, Nice (France). He showed some great documentation, and talked about his process and technology for making these cute little bots with a whack of personality.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, I’ll be giving a (as always, free!) presentation on the interactive video landscape<\/em> at the Wits Digital Soiree this Friday, from 3-5 PM. That’s in the digital convent, across from the school of arts. Be there!<\/p>\n

And, trying to stick with brevity here….<\/p>\n

the art of production at franchise<\/p>\n

Here’s one pic of a duo show at Franchise<\/em>, the hot, no-so-new-anymore gallery over at 44 Stanley, Millpark. Admittedly, I didn’t give the show its entire due on my time. Some of the images were moving and exciting, but I was freaking out about other shit and so only did a quick squizz. I feel like I’ve seen the projected animation before, and I don’t mean that to be a nice reference to it being uncanny….<\/p>\n

The shows I’d like to check out this week:<\/p>\n

Steven Cohen: tonight and tomorrow at Wits (probably 50 bucks, but the galleries below are free)
\nGallery Momo’s group show (7th ave, parktown north)
\nGroup show at Drill Hall (downtown) – this opens tonight at 6:30 for 7:00<\/p>\n

Chat soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
