I ORDERED POSTCARDS FOR MY SHOW SO IT'S KIND OF REAL NOW

i have six different ones, cause i so fancy (gangstuh)! one is the title of the piece i'm showing and the others are excerpts of text from it. message me your address and i will send you one, i'm serious.

i had a studio visit with marcia tanner, curator, writer, and all around badass, and she really loved what i got going, which needless to say was a HUGE vindication after my review. in a moment of subtlehustle genius i brought my portfolio on dvd with business card insert and foisted it upon her....can't hurt, i suppose.

i also recently showed my first text piece, and i think it was a pretty big success. don't have photos because i don't document anything because i am a shithead, but basically i had the phrase "my manifest destiny is a feminist mess to me" printed on vinyl in a font that has a LOT of negative space: in a color that matched the floorboards of the gallery. i then installed it (the letters were only an inch high) on the ground in front of the gallery's back doors. it's nearly invisible, and so i've decided to leave it there until i get caught and forced to remove it, even though the show closed this weekend.

i think i might also do a text intervention at the thesis show, using the same conventions (text that matches the floor). also at the show: i am auctioning off a singing telegram as part of another student's project. any song (or one i write based on the client's specifications), any costume (this could get ugly....literally) and anywhere within city limits, any time before june 1.

things are happening!

the cutest infestation ever


things are happening! it's 9 days til my final review and then i'm pretty much locked in a flight pattern til vernissage. so yeah, i can't stay long.



i am really into the ways in which we interact physically, emotionally, and intimately with hardware and software, especially social technologies, but also actual technological objects. for example, i sleep next to my laptop. every night. on the screen is live video feed of my partner, who lives 500 miles away, sleeping. this is how we deal with distance. he and i like to talk about how our children (OUR HYPOTHETICAL CHILDREN! more like the next generation in general) will interact with technology.

**NERD ALERT**

i wish there was a terminator that took place in a future where judgment day was postponed for a couple decades, so we could see how gradually we further integrated our daily lives with interpolative technology. this is how it starts:

the future is bunnehs!

if that wasn't jetsons enough for you, how about programming your coffee cup and car keys to tell you things!

i don't know whether to be totally freaked out or totally amazed and covetous. i am both, actually. this ambivalence has been a huge source of inspiration in the past...
