CAA 2008
I just got back from the College Art Association national conference last week and apparently none of my mobile blogs have updated to my blog here... so I'll have to give you the wrap up.
I arrived in Dallas with the sun shiny and warm and then never saw it again. It rained, the wind blew... it was very gray.
I attended a panel on art blogging at The Dallas Contemporary where I met Duncan from the Bad at Sports podcast; a Chicago/San Fran art thing. There was also a really great show up which you can see here. The show incorporated short videos from several different artists which were made daily. The works were being sent via email or upload to the DC and hosted on the website. My favorite work was by artist Maria Olsen, who later presented at the New Media Caucus panel on Newer Media (she was sick and in NY, so she sent a video of herself for the presentation).
The last night I was there I went to a fashion show my friend Patric Lichty was involved with called "Social Fabrics". Each work looked at social interaction as the main concept. Some were functional pieces and some where artistic. The two pics I have here show an electrical interference cloak and two people wearing "vacuole bags" that made a variety of sounds as they moved. For more on wearable social arts check out the latest issue of Intelligent Agent, a free downloadable arts journal on Lulu.com.
I also presented at the conference (1st pic on right). My presentation will be recorded with the slides and put on my new blog (The Polychronic Classroom will be moving):
The Multichronic Classroom.
