My dear Fleur

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

At all the practical levels, things are doing quite well with me and your father. The apartment is much better now, too. Your dad bought a table and chair set so finally eating is more comfortable (it’s a simple 6-seater made of re-constructed wood pieces, but this isn’t too obvious because of the simple but […]

Re-framing the “digital art festival”

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Below are some questions that I have formulated in the framing / re-framing of a (Philippine) “digital art festival.”

Q and A: the artist-in-residence programme

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Thanks to IFIMA for these questions regarding residency programmes. My answers below, and certianly, more later, as I understand many of the answers will need expounding. All creative programmes are of interest to me - especially those involved in “promoting” and “exchanging” cultures.

The Pacific Rim New Media Summit + Special Issue of Leonardo

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Could be of interest. Thanks to the Leonardo/ISAST network for this information. The development of the art and sciences networks (and their economic implications) is an interesting subject on its own, especially when seen within the context of diverse systems of knowledge within the Pacific Rim - that is, when “science” manifested in vernaculars for […]

The Divine Body

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

In the early history of the Iconoclastic crisis, the Council of Hiera promulgated a decree on the criminal act of painting religious images that set off a wave of tortures and killings. In 761, over 300 monks were mutilated in various ways, the monasteries turned into barracks, and the use of the words “saint” and […]
