nola rising

next week, making something collaborative, here is the space, also you can see the organizers. went there tuesday afternoon, what we do is determined to a large extent by where we're making the thing. i had the idea of projecting something onto that narrow strip of wall above the mirror, then projecting a duplicate projection onto the mirror, which will hopefully make the floor look like a river reflecting what's above the horizon, in a way.

in the world

monday night

public painting

hadn't initially payed much attention to the public art aspect of the collaboration with james merrell, but yesterday as we took the next step it came up. we might even expand the project at some point.

right now, though, his oil painting has been successfully affixed to our borrowed trashcan and will soon be released back into the wild.

work in progress

getting closer to how i envision this piece (homage to dekooning = layers, projection onto acrylic on canvas).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koinonia
in the context of outer goodness, translated into english, the meaning of koinonia holds the idea of joint participation in something with someone, such as in a community, or team or an alliance or joint venture. those who have studied the word find there is always an implication of action included in its meaning.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payload
goods or produce being delivered or transported; the net carrying capacity of an aircraft or spacecraft.

you're either on the bus

or off the bus. i'm on the bus! (and yes, i mean, i'm actually on a bus, with power and an internet connection, blogging and editing video of the koinonia payload piece, that's the more-or-less spontaneous one which erupted the other weekend, and also, i'm part of the we're-all-going-to-keep-expanding-our-technological-capabilities-until-we-become-post-human-post-borgian)

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.
