It’s been pretty crazy (to say the least) but happy to report I attended the first Arts Tech Meetup in San Francisco tonight! The Arts Tech Meetup originated in NYC based on the need for artists, technologists, and creative professionals to connect, re-connect, and forge some symbiotic partnerships. Like anything else, you never know who you’re going to meet or what to expect but I must say, it was an evening filled with business card and knowledge exchange. Meetup organizers: Jaki Levy, Jenny…

I don’t like being morbid but I find the topic of a digital afterlife extremely fascinating. Being present and engaged in life is a great way to live; however, it’s difficult to not think about the things which seem beyond our control.

We Feel Fine is on exhibit at the Adobe Museum of Digital Media. First, I’m utterly smitten and enthralled with data visualization work. Harris and Kamvar created this project back in 2005 and wanted to show the world’s feelings, individually and collectively, to showcase the human condition in a way that was both engaging and begs the question of whether we are truly alone in the way we feel. The answer is yes (and no). As unique as we all are, there are universal ideas/concepts/feelings humans…

Hypercube #1 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. Hypercube #2 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. Hypercube #3 from Oilly Oowen on Vimeo. My recent fascination with video art continues. I’m posting the Hypercube series by Allison Holt. Her work is incredibly elegant and created with Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) equipment, polyester resin, and light. I plan on exploring Holt’s work in the near future. For now, please explore her works and her site to learn more.
