Data visualization art
I see what you guys are saying, and I don't disagree with you. It is important to draw some sort of distinction between what is work that is still being developed and something that is fully realized. The question then has to do with how do we discuss projects that can be viewed publicly that aren't fully completed or still in "demo" stage? And, how do we create a space where work can be viewed and discussed without it being fully developed? Finally, what if some work is meant for us to question our relationships to both technology and information and isn't particularly about an "object" to be viewed even though an object is present?
Data visualization art
Okay. I'm not going to talk too much about the work you discussed on your blog. I haven't seen the work other than around the net, so I don't think I have a very good view of what it might be. However, I don't think that I can agree with you that art that uses data visualization as a means of generating a body of work is shallow.
The way that I see it is that a lot of work that uses or references data visualization points to the shift in our visual culture into one that is more centered on information. If everything can be reduced down to information, then it is possible to represent that information in a visually interesting way. I don't have a complete argument for you here, but currently I've been trying to look deeper into this issue and here is one place that I am starting:

Regardless, its a very interesting topic.

Re: Turbulence Commission:
for another possiblity with what a cell phone or pda could be used for follow this link:

then go to current project... etc. etc. etc.
while not tagging, it has to do with similar technologies as surveilllance.

TBA/BYOB Braddock
i had lots of fun last night out in Braddock PA
so much fun that my pictures aren't so great....
the event was at Unsmoke Artspace and over the course
of the night we had about 15 or more artists throwing down
all over the walls... some really great work
but most importantly - some really great people!!!!!
