This, marks the 100 griworks2000 ascii drawing. Yeah!

Holiday Break

I'll be taking some time off for about another week. So you probably won't see too much action here until around New Year.

Currently, I'm in Gethen, and reception isn't all that great. In the meantime I will be preparing the gridworks2000 ascii drawing that I think is #0100... a sort of milemarker in the project.

Add-Art 2

The Add-Art Show will be up until Jan. 1st.

Add-Art

Some of the gridworks2000 project will be displayed for a while as part of the Add-Art Firefox plugin. Its been developed mostly by Steve Lambert as part of his work at EYEBEAM in the NYC.

Add-Art replaces advertising banners with a rotating art show. I've had it for a bit and really love the work that is displayed. I started submitting gridworks2000 stuff earlier this fall and just got the notice that it would be called up starting tonight.

Thanks Steve!!!

Beer Barons & Brewery Workers

I've finally had a minute to put together a site for the Beer Barons & Brewery Workers project I did last Spring with Brandon Bauer. The work was presented at the Blatz Building in Milwaukee as part of the Make Your Own History group exhibition. This site is more in lines with what we originally intended for the project.

The gifs act as a portrait across time of two important moments in the history of Milwaukee.

Its made of 15 animated gifs, one for each of the 15 Beer Barons/ Breweries that were in operation in Milwaukee at one time. This was the rise of Milwaukee industry and how the city became what it is.

The texts come from Milwaukee newspaper coverage of Brewery Union Workers strike that, according to some local historians, eventually lead to the end of beer brewing in Milwaukee. This in turn lead to the departure of industry and jobs from Milwaukee and effects how the city became what it is now.

The gifs act as a portrait across time of two important moments in the history of Milwaukee.

GRID-IT

GRID - IT "The Art of The Grid"

I couldn't pass that up, I haven't gotten through the whole site yet, but had to put it up. Thanks Niki!!!
