(PMCA) and curated by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Visual
Strategist Dan Goods and Mars Public Engagement Outreach Coordinator
David Delgado, Data + Art: Science and Art in the Age of Information

In late 2008, the art producer consonni and Idensitat launched the project iD+consonni as a collaboration extending Idensitat’s territories and bringing about a new way to work with artists. In total, 203 proposals were received from 38 countries

There is one winner to develop the project over 2009 and five special mentions which implied the chance to intervene in public space in Sondika from a variety of perspectives and tools. These five proposals will not be developed but will be made public through consonni and Idensitat’s websites and other communication devices which are to be approved by the artists, such as a future publication.

Here's an intriguing organization that was just brought to my attention: Wage for Work, based on the premise that art contributes to the economy, and that artists should receive "payment for making the world more interesting."

Lots of links to look at on their page. They have a point.

A few slivers of film I put together of me in various things....wanted to make them into a stream of feelings...the kind I've had while looking in a bathroom mirror on a train going somewhere.....reviewing where I've been and wondering where I'm going...

Helloooooo! I'm finally deciding to do something on here!

Okay....now, I'm going to do a little tour around the site.....see what I see....

I can't believe I joined 49 weeks ago and had done NOTHING on here, not even put up a picture or any of my work!

Going from this moment....

I suppose I just felt overwhelmed at the thought of exploring here, or it could be a subconscious resistance to activating my art life and connecting with others in that way, even though all of this is so wonderful and sacred and necessary for me. This is my first posting and I just put my picture up and I have told myself that I will explore the site a bit and see what's going on.

I think it's both of these things as I have suffered quite a long and numbingly baffling resistance to making new work. Even now, that I have a show less than a month away, I still can't seem to make myself go into the studio.
