Wed, 09 Jan 2008 08:21:41 -0800 Not informing but rather sharing http://oddtag.posterous.com/not-informing-but-rather-sharing http://oddtag.posterous.com/not-informing-but-rather-sharing txt: New design for wmmna - www.we-make-money-not-art.com
That doesn't mean that i see myself as an art critic, a reporter or a journalist. I can't think of myself as anything else than a blogger. Not because of the tools i use but as time passes, i realize that what makes me so passionate about the blog is not informing you but rather sharing with you what matters to me. The selection of stories i cover are therefore submitted to my own whim, not to the ambition of covering extensively a given field of art. So, yes, apologies to anyone who finds them so so gross, but there's still a fair amount of biotech art stories in store. Apologies again to anyone who believes that new media art should be totally separated from contemporary art.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:32:46 -0700 everythingismiscellaneous.com http://oddtag.posterous.com/everythingismiscellaneouscom http://oddtag.posterous.com/everythingismiscellaneouscom Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the Kansas State University, strikes again with this video on youtube about internet. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CV05HyAbM] Mix it with Everything is Miscellaneous:
But we all know how reality works, so why worry about what might be possible in some sci-fi alternative universe? [...] Instead of being limited by space and operational simplicity in the number of items it can stock, the digital world can include every item and variation the buyers at Staples could possibly want. Instead of items being placed in one area of the store, or occasionally in two, they can be classified in every different category in which users might conceivably expect to find them. Instead of living in the neat, ordered shelves we find in the Prototype Labs, items can be jumbled digitally and sorted out only when and how a user wants to look for them.
