james web and bridget baker, just cuz they are cool
I can’t believe it was just this past saturday that I left Cape Town. Yeh, it was kinda cool (I even made the front page). Admittedly, one week of workshops in Jitter is not nearly enough, but I know I lit enough of a fire under a few students’ skins that a few of them will continue down the path of interactive media art. Let’s hope….
Anyhow, speaking of interactive media, Cape Town born Ralph Borland (who I went to grad school with at NYU) has some public sculptures launching this week, Wednesday about 6 o’clock, which have some interactive elements of their own. Let’s call him fellow ITPer, p-comp guru, fine artist, new media practitioner, and teacher Ralph Borland, shall we? Admittedly, I did not see the interactive components installed yet, but the sculptures in and of themselves are a beautiful site/sight. I’m sure they only got cooler.
I lost the email that listed where the sharks are, and I could not find the info on artthrob, who have a new issue out!!!! Hmmmm. ask around? It’s on some square not too far from Long or Michaelis, and he is a popular cat, so….
one of ralphy’s sharks – there are six, if i remember correctly…
