The Swinging Acorn: in participatory art, who owns what?
Anonymity can be exhilarating in interactive, participatory art. You become part of a mystery experience and an implied community of makers. You relinquish your illusion of control and set free what your hands have made. You meld. But who really owns this stuff? … READ MORE
Fun Fact: Easter Island Soundtrack Downloads
Apparently we got linked by an Italian techno and ambient music site, and people all over the interglobes are listening. Lovely! Eric Hausmann and I will be posting more links to more Easter Island music throughout the nine-month run of “Anakena: The Easter Island Project” installation.
We Have Achieved ZINE! Behold Book 1 of the Easter Island Project zine series

Its distribution model is unknown, as … READ MORE
From Inside, a Floor of Bones

What is the Easter Island Project?
Anakena: the Easter Island Project is the culmination of an interdisciplinary artwork spanning five years, seven cities, and the island of Rapa Nui. The installation will unfold organically for nine months at the Cooley Gallery’s Caseworks series and online at magdalen.com.

What belongs in a story? “Area Man Goes Over Handlebars, Thumps Brain.”
What belongs in a story? Art and literature generally streamline the stories of life, homing in on narrative arcs and peeling away the detritus that collects with time. They compress and refine. They make sense of the intertwined relationships, discussions, thoughts, and experiences that compose our lives. Writing, making art, composing music, performing: these practices and the dialogues they inspire help us figure out what our stories actually are. Except, … READ MORE
