Excerpt from Feature: Kristin Neidlinger Historically, Neidlinger has worked with circus performers, classically trained dancers, and individuals who have suffered from severe nerve damage, since their bodies are hyper-aware and sensitive to touch. In the long-term, she proposes, “the future of wearable technology becomes a part of us. Emotional displays and bio.media will be woven into our garments and architecture, so they are responsive. As an evolution from the ‘smart’ wristbands of today, we will have ‘sensitive’ fabrics.” Please click here to…

Hello Family and Friends, I can’t believe the semester is almost over. My research papers on the other hand have yet to be completed. I’m still working on them. Not to fear, they will get done. Feel free to send me messages of encouragement and a reminder to be kind to myself. I’m sure there will be instances in the next couple of weeks where I start hyperventilating because, sometimes, I do forget to do this thing called breathing. In…

It’s been some time since I’ve posted! Work and finishing up the first semester of grad school had me pretty busy but as the subject line of this post clearly states, I have no resolution for posting or updating. I’m hoping to share great stuff along the way because incredibly phenomenal folks (i.e., professors, classmates, artists, and friends) have shared knowledge and mind-blowing projects. I’ve done a disservice to myself for not making more of an effort to catalog all this great…

Yes, folks! I’m still here but with the constant rush of my day job, school work, reading (A LOT), and writing (A LOT), it’s been challenging to find the time to just write an entry to say hello and share some really good stuff. As a reminder, if you’re interested in following along through pictures, visit my other virtual home here. Essentially, my tumblr and Instagram got married some time ago and they’re inseparable! I will get back to posting…

I learned a phrase a several months ago – FOMO. It stands for ‘Fear of Missing Out’. However, suffering from FOMO is inevitable for creative types. We constantly need stimulation to get everything going. In my last post, I wrote about taking a break (because they are important). Well, you know what happens when you take a break, right (besides being well rested)? A deluge of ideas and inspiration (and events) present themselves! I took a break at the most opportune time. Perfect timing, actually. Last weekend, I…

If you’re a writer and blogger, you know the challenges involved with coming up with new content while staying motivated and keeping yourself apprised of what is going on out there. The emergence of bloggers all over the world, many perceive blogging by many as “…Not writing but graffiti with punctuation“. However, the truly serious stick with it, learn from their mistakes, open to constructive criticism, and reap the benefits of their hard work. It’s been a truly productive, energetic, and inspiring year…

This is a quote from the movie Contagion. Elliot Gould plays scientist, Ian Sussman, in the film. You want to know what I say to that statement. Bullsh*t! As a contributor to a few organizations, I have the pleasure of working with editors and supporters that give me extremely useful and productive feedback that not only improves my writing, but my critical thinking skills. Admittedly, I love the quote because there are many bloggers who exhibit poor grammar, diction, syntax, and…

Totally not me…all Jeanette Winterson. After a pretty brain draining weekend and much-needed rest, I’m back and trying to catch up and hoping to hit the publish button on a couple of pieces I’ve been neglecting working on for a couple of weeks. I’ve been studying (and doing lots of independent research). I’m not even in grad school (yet). So, what gets me back into writing mode? It’s simple. Reading. In Winterson’s essay, Writer, Reader, Words, I found a rather illuminating…

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 protest and civil disobedience. I believe I’m onto something. In any case, I need to get the piece done and with a fairly open Sunday,…
