Next week I am flying to Spain to participate in NOW Meetings in the Present Continuous at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. I’ll be on panel with Richard Sennett (via videoconference) and Pierre Humeau and our event is on Friday November 30th, 2007. If you know anyone in Barcelona, send them my way.
Update: here’s a photo from the talk. I also posted the talk and some links as a swf file on the Anti-Advertising Agency site.
Packard Jennings and Steve Lambert asked architects, city planners, and transportation engineers, “what would you do if you didn’t have to worry about budgets, beauracracy, politics, or physics?” Ideas from these conversations were then merged, developed, and perhaps mildly exaggerated by Steve and Packard to create a series of 6 posters for the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Art on Market Street Program.
The edition of 24 posters can be seen between November 12, 2007 to March 14, 2008 on nearly every block of Market Street from the Embarcadero to the Castro.
Update: poster images have been uploaded.
I will be speaking at a book launch/slide talk for Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity on November 14th in Brooklyn.
From the official announcement: “Confused about which big business best correlates with your lifestyle? Want to sell out, but not quite sure where to turn? Well, the good people behind Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity can help: Just attend this focus groups forming in your area. All events are free of charge and start at 7 p.m. unless otherwise indicated.”

In May, James Powderly (of the GRL) and I went to NYC’s JFK to fly to SFO where we took BART to OAK. We then went to UCB to to be on a panel organized by myself and Laurel Beckman (of UCSB) called “DIY=>DIT: New Social Practices and Digital Distribution” at BAM/PFA for the UCIRA.
The folks at the PFA video taped the panel and it’s now available for download from their site as a .MP4 file.
The Co-op Bar at the Eyebeam: Source Code exhibition is coming to end, but before it concludes I’ve organized a Comedy Night with Charles Star and Eyebeam. There will be six comedians with Charles Star hosting.
You should come. It’ll be fun.

Caught On Tape
Federation Square Big Screen
Melbourne Australia
May 17, 6-10pm (and then ongoing)
Free! All welcome
If you’re in Australia, Light Criticism will be shown on a jumbo-tron size screen in Melbourne’s Federation Square.
Caught On Tape invites nine artists from Australia and around the globe to splash their art up on Melbourne’s biggest digital wall. Exploring a range of city subcultures, Caught on Tape brings the artists who work undercover, to the fore. It throws a spotlight on their anonymous art and sometimes reveals the mystery of how it got there. Caught On Tape is a collection of DIY art-on-film that looks lovingly at its urban environment and the visual treasures that lie within.
Featuring BuffDiss (Vic), James Dodd (SA), Isaac Greener (Vic), Sean Kelly (Vic), Steve Lambert (New York), Rinpa Eshidan (Tokyo), Jared Rowe (WA), Xero (Vic), and the artists of Emptyshow 07 edited by Vexta (Vic) and curated by wideyedkid
For the next two weeks I will be the featured “reBlogger” on Eyebeam’s reBlog. What that means is I will be harvesting the best info from the computer-web and putting it in one handy page/feed. Tune in…
