AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Re New

New again from what was lost and really a gift from the gate.
I had it all and fucked it off n one way or another.

It was challenged.
She pushed me away.
He fuckin' died!
I fucked her over...
They cut me open!
He ran away.
They tricked me and towed it!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

My Family.
My Wife.
My Father.
My lady.
My Life.
My Dog.
My Car.

Some thingz I get back...
Some are gone for good.

Re New?
What the fuck!?

I am.
It iz.

It's the place where creativity and technology meet

CAMBRIDGE -- Dan Paluska rises in a crowded room. The lights dim,
and he starts up digital slideshow about Totemobile, a 50-foot-tall,
11,000-pound robotic sculpture -- a giant transformer that unfolds
from a car into a totem pole. Paluska got involved with the
Totemobile at artist Chico MacMurtrie's Amorphic Robot Works in
Brooklyn.

"It's the first time I worked on something that really frightened
me, which could have killed someone," Paluska begins. His audience
murmurs appreciatively.

Once upon a May 15th, maybe this one, the e-mail accounts of all major newspapers were clogged with thousands of messages sent on that day between noon and 2 pm.. All the messages were brief: 'Impeach by September' . The papers tried to ignore the terse sentiment, tho' the flood of messages shut down their systems.

Oddly, that same day during those same hours, the same thing happened to the Congressional e-mail system.

Wierdest of all, the largest corporate donors of each congressional representative also experienced the same shutdown for the same reasons.

And then, by strange coincidence the same thing happened the next day! And the next! And the next! For thirty days!

Assumptions

I thought I understood
What you meant,
But I didn’t.

I thought you meant
That I didn’t know
What I was doing,
But you didn’t.

Then I reacted to
What I thought you meant,
Even though you didn’t.

You thought I was being critical,
Though I wasn’t,
And I reacted to your defensiveness,
All because I didn’t understand
What you meant.

It went downhill from there.
So much for ignorant assumptions.

Please forgive me.

November 2004

In Coffeehouse shadows,
Moonlight collects on faces
Of silver wear,
Reflects off my earrings
Brightens the ragged skies
Of my half-open windows,
Your eyes are miles of sun filled shoreline
Filled with invitation
To leave this grey-stained city I have become.
Cups rattle, strangers whisper
As I listen in sin,
And graze on the damp fur of rumor.
But then your voice sighs
Through my hollows
I push away from those shallows of myself,
Force my fingers across distances
To find hands that beckon
Toward Your sweet and foreign country.

Pieces on display will include individual and group installations, mixed media, painting, drawing, photography, video and digital media.

I must admit that I went to the store to pick up an ipod when the salesgirl asked me, "what do you need it to do". I hadn't thought about that, but when I told her; she suggested I check out the Micro. For the same price, I could not only download and listen to songs; but I can also record songs live and from the radio, convert files from wav to mp3 and back, and do things that a performer needs to do.

Now I don't leave home without it. I use it to record live gigs with my band, rehearsals, and sometimes auditions (I just drop it in my bag when I walk in the room). I've recorded shows I've done from the audience and the sounds come out great.

Ok, so I bought this camera because a friend had the exilim z700, and I loved the features. I wasn't quite prepared for what I got. This camera is amazing; I love it and carry it everywhere I go: to take photos of myself and with friends, to take video of funny things I see on the streets, to record rehearsals and performances and even auditions (it has a vocal recorder that records for 49 hours!!!).

There are so many uses I've found including posting quality video to the internet at [...]. Everyone I know comments on the quality of the video and the pictures come out amazing.

I'm just a layman as far as photography is concerned, but I feel like a professional when I use my exilim. It's sleek and easy to manipulate; it has a very nice size display screen; and the buttons and prompts are very easy to follow.
