elevator photo album

Some elevators for the documentary book (coming soon). More photos also coming soon. Seattle elevators by Heather Robison. :)

flash-back or back-then flash

Writing about elevators and Bruce Nauman's Going Around the Corner Piece has me thinking about where we're going (technology-wise) and where we've been (also, admittedly, procrastinating). I stumbled upon this--my very first Flash piece EVER and also the artist statement I wrote to go with it (3 years ago!), back when I was first discovering hypertext. What's interesting is that it's very similar (though not as good) to some of the final projects my students are currently composing. The Flash work is obviously not fantastic but, for me, there's still something charming (and nostalgic) about it. What's funny, too, is that what's crammed into this little poem are bits and pieces of what's still inspiring me today.

So here's a little end-of-semester flashback to Subatomic Love Song (there are rollovers!)

friends in cool places

Thank you heather heather!

My wonderful friends heather and peter took a field trip to the
Seattle public library to snap some pictures of this elevator!
Isn't it great?

all about elevators

I can't believe it's October already. Not just that, but the middle of October now. Seems the dissertation is all about elevators. I also changed my documentary project to a print collection of elevator photos mixed with history, theory, and creative text. I'll start posting elevator photos soon!

I heart the LHC

Here's to successful particle acceleration...
