global lawnchair unit
finally finished editing the g.l.u. footage from august, hope you enjoy. want to do more with nuala and jose. soon.
spontaneous
made something very suddenly this past weekend. explanation to come, video to come. was fun, exciting, impulsive. 
a little more editing
did not-too-much work on that g.l.u. (global lawnchair unit) video today, just a twenty-second clip i want to be able to share (is what i hope to end up with, not what i have right now, still getting there).
want the unit to get together and make something happen in october but haven't worked it out yet and looks like both the poconos and princeton are no-gos (although princeton could potentially happen this weekend - not likely but the possibility exists).
a few applications have sucked a lot of time recently, and they always stress me out. but that's part of it - you need to have resources and venues to make and share the work right? anyway, now i'm focussing on sharing what has happened this year (after editing the g.l.u. video i still have never done chess properly, nor color study), could take a few weeks. and the three live projects (spring planting, whatever james and i are going to call our trash can thing, and inferno with judson) all require attention - so, i'm busy, but it's awesome, because i'm busy doing exactly what it is i want to be doing. which means i'm crazy-lucky-busy.
growing
really hope people (including you, whoever you are) will want to do this!

spring planting will be shown in march 2008 - plenty of time to start something growing in a pot, take pictures, and get them to me for inclusion in the piece.
i mentioned that i want to make this piece a few months ago to my mom. she took a ton of pictures, something like seven hundred i think she said - couldn't believe it but it makes sense, daniel said after talking to me that he believes my suburban upbringing was definitely a key influence in conceptualizing this piece.
anyway, my mom also emailed me a few of the pictures she took, here they are. thanks mom! 
result
haplapnaptap (have a painting? leave a painting. need a painting? take a painting.) is over. we facilitated the giving-away of sixty-two original works of art, fostering connections between one hundred and twenty-four people.
basically everything which occurred last week exceeded our expectations.

many thanks to everyone who participated in the show and made it happen.
rendering
still takes forever. hours and hours and hours. the machine works at one thing, i work at a lot of other things, and i enjoy my little breaks so much too - it's a nice division of responsibilities we share.
editing again
ok, so the hard drive situation is nowhere near resolved. but today i got a new one so at least i can start making new work again. here are two video still from the first g.l.u. (global lawnchair unit) collaboration. g.l.u. is nuala clarke, erik sanner and jose villalon.
