In a “keeping up with the kids” decision, I have recently uploaded all of “the dailies” to youtube, and will continue to post them both here and to that great grass-roots media site. There’s also plans to get all the old (and new!) whetherman‘s up there. Ahhh…smell that? That’s the faint odor of the democratization of media. Thank god for our wonderful authorship society. It may smell like like the shit that most of it is, and it can be hard to hear the signal through all that noise, but really, where would we all be without user-generated content? I guess we’d still be around the water cooler, but we might be talking about the weather instead of chocolate rain.
“The 1492nd dorkbot-nyc meeting will take place at 7pm on Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 at Location One in SoHo.” And I’ll be showing my stuff! Experimental Devices for Performance comes out out of it’s fall hiatus and rears it’s experimental head to the SoHo masses. I’ll be featured with the other “Humid and Tropical” presenters Ted Johnson and Fiona Hallinan (aka Fink). Ted will be talking about “how to build your own secret laboratory in a small NYC-sized space and at a low cost, and thereby produce silly and useless gadgets” and Fiona “would like to tell a story about [her] first interactive experience between computers and people, which occurred when [she] was twelve years old.” I have no idea what to expect except that it’s free and everyone seems really very nice. So please come on out! Free (((BlinkCam))) pics! (see below)
Nerrrrvous. I’ll be performing a wondrous phonetically-backwards performance piece about everything-in-my-life-ever to kick off the Prelude Festival at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center (located at The Graduate Center 365 Fifth Avenue (at 34 Street)) on Wednesday the 26th around 8:00pm. The night starts at 6:30 with “a discussion on the process of bringing challenging new work to broader audiences and the effects this process has on artists and institutions. Panelists include: Sarah Benson, Adam Bock, Jim Nicola, and Alex Timbers with moderator David Cote.” My short performance is to follow the discussion. A reception with then follow me. Looks like 31Down and The Laboratory Theater will both have work in the festival this year. The whole thing is free! .ereht uoy ees ot epoh. try it…
