"Virtual Popcorn Popper"

Ok, link scrambletime:

-Nosnibor has a new blog here, well worth checking out.

-Jay di Feo has an excellent show (only the second best after Chris
Wilmarth's, at the Nielsen's) to be reviewed in minutae soon.
(Go shaped paper as passage between drawing and sculpture!)

-I had a 4-day show (which also took 4 days to prepare) at Studio Soto
last week, and am now thinking about this as a possibility for all art
shows in the future- as a way of aspiring towards the temporality of music.

Philippe Lejeune graciously created this page from a video interview of
the show.

-Studio Soto might be on its last legs; with a lease renewal pending, but
by no means certain, Soto will need to find some sort of substantial support
in order to continue. PLEASE GO TO SOTO SHOWS! and donate!

-Roberta Smith weighs in at the Anaba/Chris Buchel debate...but oh...oh!
Let's move on.

-To the 2008 calendar: there is, rumor has it, a revolutionary way of
paper-organization for next year.
To be published soon.
Start saving your 25 dollars now.


that's the beaut of a floor at Soto.

Bee Update



Back from Europe and listening to the news with voracity, yesterday heard a show about the real cause of CCD in North American bee populations. As it turns out, our cellphone-radiation speculations
were wrong: it's viral.

(the whole story here)


The fascination with the morality of the story, has turned into
fascination with the science of how this diagnosis was actually
obtained: researchers actually sequenced the genetic material
in bees, to find a possible agent of cause. Following this thread,
check out the video on the (new and expanded) X-prize page....
With bees it was probably much simpler than with humans, but
the ultimate question is...do we want a disease-free world?
