While volunteering for the GAFFTA Galvanize Gala, I had the opportunity to meet Aaron Koblin before the big rush of people. Yes, was completely artist-struck and geeked out but he was incredibly sweet. I’m really happy I introduced myself because he noticed my GAFFTA Volunteer badge and thanked me for volunteering. Yet, another geek out moment happened when I met John Gage, he was extremely kind. Overall, seeing some of the Board Members and meeting GAFFTA Faculty was fantastic. Eclectic Method DJed the…

Now, imagine the spam above used to create art. A few posts back, I shared a performance/video art based on spam messaging. This time around, I wanted to post about artist, Alex Dragulescu. He’s been featured on c|net and USA Today. His art has been around for some time but it’s so àpropos considering my recent obsession fascination with the messages filtered as spam via my (blog) comments inbox. Spam is spam but every now and again, I receive a…

One of the coolest things EVER…I got quoted in the Huffington Post (HP)! I know. Not a big deal to some folks that are probably accustomed to this on a daily basis but to someone like me, it’s pretty exciting. It also reminds me, I need to watch what I say. Ha ha. Seriously. I had a great conversation with HP journalist, Alexandra Weber Morales. Great conversation all around but it was nice to shed a bit of light on my interests at…

Bold lines, audacious coloration, and hidden images characterize Fernando Orellana’s latest series, Slideways, currently on view at the Satellite 66 Gallery. From painting to electronics to robotics, Slideways showcases Orellana’s multifaceted art practice in a series of 2-D works that combine traditional techniques with digital tools. Orellana rejects the notion that ‘painting is dead,’ instead demonstrating that postmodern works can abide by longstanding traditions, albeit through nontraditional tools. Orellana has found a way to create something wonderfully enticing and fresh…

One of the most intriguing things about the world-wide web is its virtual tumbleweed of randomness (aka Spam messaging). In the past couple of days, I received about 20+ spam messages in my WordPress Comment Inbox BUT this one in particular intrigued me. First, I have a strange fascination with its length. Quite frankly, I can’t help but look at it. I don’t dare read it word for word but what would happen if I did? Or, reading parts versus the whole? It’s not the humdrum message…
