Currently working on a piece about New Media work by Joseph DeLappe and the Tool Shed Days art collective. Quite honestly, I’ve been working on this piece for the past couple of weeks off and on because I wanted to explore the notion of the new media artists re-interpreting virtual space as a public place for […]

This will be short and sweet. Promise. I went to dinner with a couple of amazing friends (who so happen to be a phenomenal couple) and they mentioned something very important. Taking time to take it easy. Lately, I’ve been a machine. Quite frankly, I’ve been feeling like this poor automaton… Bottom line: […]

No joke. I’ve got some serious writer’s block the size of the Transamerica Pyramid building. It doesn’t help that I imagine a block of this size wedged into the Temporal lobe of my brain.

Only through such transformation, and not through an ever falsifying photography, does art give empirical reality its due, the epiphany of its shrouded essence and the merited shudder in the […]
