| Make your art work for you |
[Mar. 14th, 2008|10:47 am] |
One of the SXSW Core Conversations was Make Your Art Work for You. About 40 people were there. The artists came out of the tech woodwork to attend this session. The conversation pooled the group's experience with creating art and distributing it. Two artists passed around books they created using Lulu and told their experiences. I was inspired to print a book. K scanned the images, put them into inDesign last night and we have a book almost ready to ship to Lulu to sell. More information soon. |

| Going Social Now SXSW 2008 |
[Mar. 10th, 2008|04:14 pm] |
Shiv Singh from Avenue A Razorfish started with a story about buying a sofa to illustrate social influence on buying decisions, then presented convincing research and theory to support recommendations for using social networks to create and spread information about your products and services.
Because we are influenced more by each other than by the brand it is important to tap into the immersive social powers of the web.
1. Create pluckable information that is easy to share.
2. All departments have different constituents and should talk to them. Conduct 2-way personal conversations.
3. What we hear from each other is more important that what we hear from the brand. |

I have extensively studied a pre-Internet global network, the Mail Art Network, in which the network is considered the artwork: the global pulsating sculpture of mail art. The interdependence and generosity of mail art is the medium.
In this SXSW panel, called The Supercollider: A hero of the Social Network, the individual is considered the star or the hero of overlapping networks and is considered super for being multi-networked, and is social networking tool savvy to the point of tool fatigue. The bright, articulate quite cute geeky panelists flashed witty words that oozed onto my pad. A designer looking over my shoulder watched my sloppy process of deriving haikuish elements from the discussion and splashing paint around. |

skin and pudding
what we want to consume and what consumes us
white people exhibit despicable behavior
Quotes from the funniest panel I've ever been to, Battledecks II, in which competitors ad lib a presentation from a set of PPT slides they have never seen before. Slides created with the dark and ironic humor of Mike Monteiro. |
