It’s alive! I, truly, have no idea how I was able to pull this massive feat of research, writing, and editing off considering the challenges that arose over the past few years. But it’s here and I can honestly say it scratches the surface and feels like the beginning. It’s definitely the close of one chapter in my life (no pun intended) and a door opening into the next major endeavor that is my artistic and academic career. Please feel…

I can’t believe I’m nearing the end of my first season as a podcast host. The brilliant team over at Art Practical have given me an awesome home to create PRNT SCRN and I’ve learned so much this past year. Special thanks to Leila Weefur (EIC…

Performance Piece by artist Ken Becker from Dorothy Santos on Vimeo. One of your brilliant classmates hacks open a sculptural work during a performance piece. I will be posting more pictures this weekend but one of the graduate wide electives I took this past semester was Sound, Music, and Technology. Ken was in my class and when he proposed his project, it was difficult for me to envision it other than him destroying something he built. Then, the night of…
