From the before time...(451T planning phase)

JT,
Looking over our Syllabus, I am astounded by how relevant to current events the first exercises are. First of all, I was delayed in perusal by the ritual scrubbing of crosshairs from my web presence.

Try though I might to get back to Edison and his complexities (and defend against Tesla-loving detractors/attackers!), I am bedeviled by Ken Beck the painter.

It's not "me." But who am "I"? I'm going all out. I'm making "my" blog "the" blog. Crosshairs and all. Shoot, if you must, at the 'old man's' head. But spare our nations flag. "He" said. The 'Boston Burl' by 'Ken Beck the painter' reminds me of a wound for all the world. Or perhaps a malignancy.

  1. The course is an exploration of social networking, interactive technologies, and the way these elements interact in the context of art making. I'm co-teaching with John Toenjes.
