more stuff

Last day in Arvada and, well, the ensuing 12 days at Echo Park is still completely unprocessed (both visually, literally, and, perhaps, figuratively, and/or even psycho-spiritually. Whatever the case, it’s over and gone already. But heading to Glade Park above the Colorado National Monument to house-sit for a couple weeks, so should be able to [...]

Victoria (Co-ordinator of the Hackademia Festival) invites some of us bricoleurs to jump into an IRC discussion on technoshamanism connected to the technomagias festival in Maua in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. That was a nice language riffing challenge talking about the basics of reality (and juggling with google translate made it even more interesting!). [...]

Os céus sobre o Rio

No início de março, fui convidado pela organização do Circuito arte.mov a participar de sua programação no Rio de Janeiro: um debate na capital - após a oficina de mapeamento aéreo com Andres Burbano -, seguido no dia seguinte de uma incursão à Nuvem, hacklab rural em Visconde de Mauá - que também sediaria a mesma oficina. Eram atividades que me interessavam porque ligadas àquilo que no Labx do Festival CulturaDigital.Br eu tinha chamado de "cartografia experimental". Na época, até havíamos tentado trazer Burbano para o Labx. Ele havia participado do arte.mov em 2010, quando desafiou os organizadores locais a trabalharem "a arte de voar" como tema exploratório para alguma edição futura do evento. A programação que acompanhei no Rio estava moldada por esse desafio.

An afternoon drive/ramble with Karen and a couple of her friends over to Victor, Colorado, not far from (above!) Cripple Creek to the (AngloGold Ashanti) Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine area. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on-location at a major extractives scene. My god. At one point I counted more than 25 250-ton [...]
