Immersive environments

that i love

record stores

- this week i bought a reed for my clarinet (and i even practiced yesterday...) and a used pj harvey cd from 2004

book stores

- i got a mushroom cook book ... can't wait to try some recipes and especially cream of mushroom soup. yum!

and single item specialty shops, like ones that only sell tea.. philly doesn't have one but i heard about one in utah today and remember the one in melbourne i used to like a lot a lot lot

i might even call that trip to the jersey shore immersive. surrounded by open sky, ocean and sand and the hundreds of beach goers with the umbrellas and incredible light. good job on the light sunshine! so great.

Stay Positive

i'm going to watch this video everyday for a month. plus it's an awesome vid.



thanks jr.

Let's talk

ok not really... word of the day IMMERSIVE ...

here's some things i'm looking into more often or want to look at more often yeah

fha

final cut pro

advertising / ad age / media buying

jim cramer and the street

chronicle of higher ed

subway videos !

career advising websites

design blogs like design-seed and design sponge

taxes

health insurance

sounds like a lot of procrastination

i killed my studio and seeing if i can work from home to save money. i think that's why i was so dramatic on aug 15. that was the day of the studio move. studio move. studio move. it's sitting in my basement.

and i just learned of this reading which i think might be relevant to my MoVid project.. from the nea.gov/research website ...

#50.


Audience 2.0: How Technology Influences Arts Participation
This report describes the demographic characteristics of U.S. adults that participated in the arts (such as concerts, plays, and dance performances) via electronic media (e.g., TV, radio, computers and portable media devices) in 2008, based on the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA). Separately, the report examines broad categories of arts participation via Internet. The report also investigates factors contributing to the likelihood of some Americans experiencing art through media. Finally, the report considers the relationship between media-based arts activities and other types of arts participation, such as live attendance and personal arts creation. June 2010. 146 pp.

which i found out about from this podcast... from this website: http://technologyinthearts.org/

will apps replace websites?

FIRE in the HEART

ready for action
acting out
raising the heat
handsprings
dancing
yellowing
biting nails
barking drunkenly at passerbyers
1991

Stay focused

and i think Zilvinas Kempinas might be my new favorite artist of the week. Zilvinas was in a publication that somehow landed in my inbox. i think through the college art association. the work is creating immersive environments using video tape. and embracing contradictions, life contradictions, through materials. my heart says YES.

maybe water bottles are not finished. going to start making mini micro finished immersive environment sculptures for your mantlepiece.

Manifesto Monday

remember them? Manifesto Mondays?


Let's create a manifesto of "I cans"

I can find a job I love
I can make art without an official studio
I can be radical
I can be happy with my current job

I can

I can

I can

I can love you for reading this blog

Setting the tone for positive thinking. All Day Long. yee haw. I can blow this world up and make it what I want it to be!

I can do that chore

I can do that other chore too

I can figure out why final cut pro audio is choppy

I can get a new hair cut

I can have fun

I can do work

I can love you

I can relax

I can

I can


oh i better go bye!

don't forget YOU CAN TOO!

Self Care Sunday

Seriously?

Got up. 30 minutes of yoga including savasana. Savasana is the best pose. You lie there. and perhaps focus on your breath. And relax. you go to the quietest place ever when it's really good. I got there today. It was amazzing.

BUT WTF dear fail button go fuck yourself. and eat shit. it's time to shift focus, make that effort with ease and grace. oh so i'm really sorry. please make yourself available, welcome failure regularly and then be accepted and i'll move on to the next thing. with less tears. less tears. less less tears.

like heesung once said to me, remember to breathe.

Moblog!

holy crap a new term on the internet i just found to describe how i wish my new project could happen but will be done probably a bit different. well it will be done different but moblogging would have been cool. ok really moblogging isn't that exciting. it's just an abbreviation for posting a blog from your cell phone. movlog now that's cool. and that's what the project needs. still no dice.

however.

my new video participation your daily commute is great project....

description:

"Using cell phone video technology, subway and underground commuters are invited to submit 10 second videos documenting their daily commute. Anyone from around the world will be able to submit video as long as it is taken underground in a subway. The open call for videos will take place during the first two weeks of September after Labor Day 2010. Video submissions can be emailed to videosubway@gmail.com"

it's part of the group Philadelphia Underground for Design Philadelphia 2010.

correction: you can submit videos now until September 15. that's better. ok bye!
