Di Mainstone: Hands-On Get-up A quest of discovery for those who inhabit their fibers and an alluring curiosity for those who cohabit their space - I create playful interactive adornments that roam the body hiding and revealing tales that are close to my heart. A hands-on choreography of fashion, technology and performance, each piece is an exploration of human behavior. During the presentation, I will discuss a few of my recent wearable projects and share my current work in progress: Hands-On Get-UP. http://sharewear.projects.v2.nl http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7kc41dKjA1c http://www.xslabs.net/skorpions http://www.dimainstone.com |

Jay Van Buren & Boris Kizelshteyn: Brooklyn Is Watching "Brooklyn is Watching" is a "mixed reality" project that spans the real world and Second Life bringing real world criticism into contact with the new and blossoming world of Second Life art. In the Brooklyn gallery "Jack the Pelican Presents" a computer is running Second Life whenever the gallery is open and lets visitors to the gallery pilot the project's avatar around a special island in Second Life. Visitors can see art on that island on a 52 inch screen. In Second Life a giant sign on a tower announces "BROOKLYN IS WATCHING" and any SL resident can create anything they want on that island for the visitors to the gallery in Brooklyn to see. There is a blog at www.brooklyniswatching.com and a podcast (itunes: brooklyn is watching) where a rotating cast of artists, gallerists and art historians chronicle and critique whatever shows up on the island with a contemporary art eye and a lot of brooklyn attitude. The project started in March of 2008 and will run for one full year. http://brooklyniswatching.com |
