We the Blog

In the past week, Jeff Gates, Robert Atkins, Kristine Stiles, and Abe Golam, four of our esteemed staff members, have posted entries on "We the Blog." Please take a look at their texts and help activate the blog by posting your comments.

"We the Blog" (http://www.wetheblog.org ) offers information and dialogue - from artistic expression to political activism - as a tool for facilitating the artist's need to extend aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real action.

"As technology fuels new ways of communicating, the blog (web log) is resulting in certain kinds of human actions that were never possible before," said Gates, a Principal Artist of the Experimental Party. He adds, "We the Blog will offer an artistic alternative to the spin-doctors of the Republican and Democratic parties. "We the Blog" will be the virtual community to participate in as the War rhetoric ramps up."
