post from crate battery low

I've masked my face while inside. My battery is running out and soon enough the top of the crate will open. I hear voices some familiar others not. It's getting hot. Soon enough. Soon.

live art, right now

So I'm in the crate re-enacting herny box brown's escape from 19th C plantation. He shipped himself by post to Philadelphia. I chose to take my phone with me and twitter, FB, blog while inside. How different would brown's journey had been had he had this technology. Twittering as he stopped at locations or riding on a cargo train knowing that as each day went he'd be closer to being free. And we'd be keep up to date, by the mintue reporting of an astonshing event

Manovich has been sitting in the bathroom for a few days now. The book stares at me when I go in to relieve myself or just get a quick mommy break. I've been getting these pains of guilt too ever since I walked into the bathroom with a Maire Claire magazine that I was force(well, just a little) to accept a free subscription of after purchasing a pair of shoes and dress at my local consignment store. Anyway, I read this article about women and technology. Apparently, many women are well below keeping up with their tech saaviness when compared to men. Rather than trying to figure out a solution ourselves, we will call a male colleague, IT guy, spouse, partner, friend whoever to fix whatever computer issue is plaguing our happiness at the moment. I'm having a hard time believing it. Say it ain't true Jo! I guess I'm having this reaction because so many of Manovich's examples are from women artists hacking away at new media projects. Was this just part of the craze during the late 90's? I mean, hey, the MOMA is still slow in catching up. Or are women just being overlooked, discouraged, etc from truly getting their hands dirty with technology. Maybe it's the Russian in Manovich that actively sought out women artists as examples. I found out recently that a good 45% to 50% of work shown in Russian museums are by women. MOMA still hasn't caught up and I'm a member.

"A Draft"- a piece of hyperlinks

Inspired by Manovich's rant on hyperlinks and my psychedelic visions of hyperlinks thereafter, I created this small piece consisting of links making up "The Gettysburg Address". I used this piece in the documentation of my last project "Illegal Art" for Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. The speech has so much relevance today it makes me sick. Link to piece below:
