It's been a little short here lately, but that has been due to focusing more on a new animation project. Just got it finished/uploaded today. The link will be just below. You'll have to wait a minute or two for it to load, but I think its worth the wait. The file is a little large but that's because there are some subtleties that I didn't want to lose and there is sound. Feel free to send or ask questions.

Wikipedia Art
Wikipedia Art
My friend Nathaniel Stern has a new collaborative project that deals with Wikipedia. Set to be an evolving work that requires readers and interested individuals to post, discuss, and help propogate the idea of a Wikipedia Entry as a work of art. The project sounds great because it brings up issues of power/control that surround sites that promote themselves on the accessibility and authorship by its users.
I've thought about this topic a lot. In grad school I wrote a paper about how satellite cartography (google earth, google maps, etc) while still being relatively objective, has still been edited and consolidated. So, although the work is marketed and believed to be objective (the scientific eye of the satellite capturing all) there is still an element of controlled information = power.
My wife wrote a paper directly about Wikipedia and this sort of thing for one of her English courses. She used Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge to argue that the content, although presented in a more populist form, still runs the risk of presenting controlled information from an "authority" position. Because it is possible for everyone/anyone to edit the content, it doesn't mean that the information is more true, accurate, or objective.
I usually don't write this sort of thing here, but I couldn't pass it up today. It's a very interesting project. You should check it out: Wikipedia Art - It appears that the "powers that be" over at Wikipedia have already started flagging the authors of the project's other entries as not meeting the standards. You can read more about that on Nathaniel's blog under the title "Wikipedial Art: Retaliation"

gridfont5-nytsample
Drew a new font today using YourFonts. They are an online font development site... which makes it really easy for what I want to do. I've toyed around with other font development applications but haven't been too happy with what I've done yet. This site gives you a template and you just draw in the glyphs, then scan, upload, and dl the font.
Probably saved myself about 4 hours of work doing it this way and I'm pretty happy with how it looks. The text is pulled from the first article on NYT after I dl'ed the font. Maybe some more samples coming soon!

This is my Milwaukee
still off topic for this place... but I can't help posting. I've been following this off an on for the last few months. Its an ARG, with a wiki here for the most of the background info and links. My favorite though is the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal coverage.
Anyone know how to solve this:
