Yes!
WatchVery interesting film by David OReilly. Beautiful, haunting, bleak at times peppered with vulgarity and gore for their respective sakes. Very cool. Very much in tune with the honesty of ones own wandering and disturbing mind.

Sol LeWitt Sentences on Conceptual Art
Although I find all of LeWitt’s sentences to be important thoughts when considering Conceptual Art…
Those I Find Most Relevant:
1. Irrational judgments lead to new experience.
• This idea is beautiful and fits perfectly with my experiences as an artist and my understanding of historical artists and art movements. The artists most interesting and successful often take perceived irrational...
Lev Manovich
Before reading the article “What is New Media?” By Lev Manovich I would have defined New Media as media that is new or different from traditional mediums, i.e. different from oil paint, sculpture in traditional forms such as marble, bronze, steel, also photography, film, video, etc… This would include computers, television, and other electronics as well as the mediums of artists like Andy...

Blog Entry #4: David Byrne
What Byrne has done here is fantastic. The sounds produced in this space are eerie and unusual and yet beautiful. There’s something about the appropriation of a once living and animated building, now dead and given a new purpose. The noises that once filled the large corridors of the building have been long gone and only now is the building given life again.
This installation is in the same vein...

Blog Entry #3
The first two videos are what I think of when I begin to think of artistic installations. Using the space in a traditional way… changing the space in order for the viewer to have a different experience in the gallery. The third video, although cool and definitely an installation, is not played out in the context of a gallery space so it begins to veer from the traditional academic style of showing...
Reading II: McLuhan
To further understand the media of print, radio, television, cell-phones, the internet… we place them each in the center of McLuhan’s Four Laws of Media Tetrad.
Print media enhances the spoken word. Print gives human beings a way to record spoken stories, history, rules, laws, etc. We can now pass information on to future generations with out having to be present. Not only is the information...
Dick Higgins
“A composer is a dead man unless he composes for all the media and for his world.” I like this statement. The concept is essential to consider when discussing new media and the climate of art in an evolving technological world. Persons who use traditional media must be aware of how their audiences are receiving information and how that is reflecting on the way they are...
