one you do on the toilet the other at the dining table.

but seriously, i have a problem with the idea of 'consuming' art. art
ain't twinkies. viewing, experiencing, using or interacting with (for
software art) etc are more appropriate verbs.

++but on to more important things++

++++subject: loot

MTAA has just been paid! that's right, after long months of
negotiations (sometimes lasting more than 15 minutes at a stretch),
MTAA have just been paid for their efforts on the Whitney's Artport
site which were completed in December of 2001 (yes 2001, not 2002,
that was chris fahey's work.) The only problem is: we lost our
obvious conversation starter when we see Christiane Paul at openings.

(seriously, Christiane has been very helpful with sorting out the
accounting problems that led to our tardy payment.)

Now if mriver will share some of the loot he's been hauling in maybe
i'll be able to get that really big TV i've been lusting for.


++++subject: electroclash

a couple of weeks ago prominent net art star Dr. Alex Galloway IM'd
me asking (transcript from memory): 'So mr. williamsburg, what's up
with electroclash?'

(parsing this for you: i live in williamsburg, brooklyn, the once,
now declining, art capital of the world, dr. galloway seems to think
that electroclash has something to do with williamsburg.)

i didn't have any idea what or who electoclash is or was. i need to
talk to mriver.

mriver (transcript from memory): 'electroclash is so two-years-ago'

and now, the latest Wired mag buzz word section (transcript from memory):

electroclash:
The latest club culture du jour. Combines samples and electronics
with 80s sounds and imagery.

so, is it the latest thing, or is it so two-years-ago? me? i think
mriver is waaaaaaaaaaay hipper than wired, so i'm sticking with him.

later.
