Blog Yourself Blue
Originally from Rhizome.org Net Art News, reBlogged by ts
Has the weblog become the best example of cyber studio? In today’s cultural/economic climate blogging offers artists an overhead-free space to create, disseminate and generate dialogue around their work. Rhizome’s own Director of Technology Francis Hwang wants to address this new phenomenon, so he’s assembled a panel of four net art experts to talk—not blog—about it. Kabir Carter, creator of the sound-based Walking in the City joins photoblogger David F. Gallagher, arts critic Tom Moody and net artist t.whid of MTAA for ‘Blogging and the Arts,’ a discussion that will ‘address questions such as whether blogs will change the nature of discourse in the fine arts field, and ways that artists and critics are integrating this new form of communications into their own work.’ The event is sponsored by Pub Sub Concepts Inc. and takes place at the New Museum of Contemporary Art on Tuesday, November 23, from 6:00-8:30 p.m. Real people, real place, real time. - Peggy MacKinnon
