AR exploration for Exhibition

I found the app ArtiVive.com and am going to try to create a project that I can include in my upcoming exhibition. People would have to use their phones and download the app, or I could try to figure out how to have an iPad locked to the wall with a security cord. I have…

Museums visited Spring 2018

This spring, while on sabbatical, I had the opportunity to visit several major European museums and many galleries. Listed below are the major exhibitions I was able to attend, and in most instances take photographs – with and without permission. Often I remix art I have experienced into my own work. Fair use laws the permit…

I was looking for this, then I found that

I was looking for Ian Wallace’s bit on Post-Internet art and found this quote, which is about postmodern literary art, but seems profound, and funny. Ian’s article is referenced and linked below. (Featured image on this post is from his article in Artspace.) “For me, the last few years of the postmodern era have seemed…

Petrix and the Allosphere

After the last post, I decided to create a new piece of art with Petra’s remix as the starting point. Since she appropriates images into her paintings, I thought she might not mind. Art begets art. This piece started with the cover art I made from the last post, where I incorporated three of Petra’s…

Petra Cortright Art & Lecture

Feature image is my remix of 3 of Petra’s artworks – it seemed like the right thing to do.

Her husband, artist Marc Horowitz also was on stage and…

Inspired by Marielle Franco

This morning in my news feed, I read about the murder of Marielle Franco. “Prominent human rights advocate and councilwoman Marielle Franco was fatally shot while in her car by unknown assailants”. Mariella was a human rights activist and councilwoman in Rio de Janeiro and was part of a generation of young Black Brazilians who are becoming increasingly vocal inside and…

17:59 – One Minute to Six

All that I am surrounded by inspires my art; whether it is a memory, an experience with current or cultural events, moments captured on the street art or experiments with technology. I am fascinated by the interconnections created when disjointed realities are brought together to form and define my experience. I am motivated to continue…

In our last online chat session, I had the opportunity to present a topic to the class. The focus was the topic of my research paper and its connection to my practice… Hybrid Art. In preparing for this, I reread the research paper. The first thing I thought about was how long ago it seemed that…

History of Digital Art

I am skipping to the last event of the Low Residency and hopefully will fill in the days in-between. Jonathan arranged for us to have a session with Doug Dodds, a curator of Digital Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It was impressive to stand in a small room with some of…
