It’s been over a month since returning from India. JoJo’s Emporium is already on the road and my days are busy. Here are some tidbits that happened while I was away or soon after returning, and some mention of upcoming events and projects.

Artist Rich Fischer did a painting based on one of my photos. The original was taken in Southern Alberta on a swing through Lethbridge last fall with JoJo’s. The entire fall set can be found here. Before leaving for India I sent out a few mailart postcards and a couple of the recipients posted images online:

1/ To Ross Priddle of bentspoon
2/ To Ruud Janssen of IUOMA & TAM

I had a piece published in Medulla, Jukka-Pekka Kervinen’s new zine. I wrote a catalogue essay for Steve Gibson’s Grand Theft Bicycle, featured at the Stride Gallery in Calgary. I got a start on building the Interactive Futures 09 website.

I will present animations from R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX at the Computational Aesthetics 2009 conference as part of an Exploding Plastic and Inevitable VJ set ( The Ascot Room, Delta Ocean Pointe Hotel, 45 Spongees Rd, Victoria, BC, Canada, Friday May 29, 8pm, $10 at the door ):

My dear friend and collaborator, Christine Wilks, will present R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX at the e-Poetry Barcelona 09.

David Winship over at minimal exposition has posted one of my images on his blog. The poem - on the occasion of listening to a poet who has another occupation or sweet life and sour grapes - has been published in the first Raving Poets Magazine.

I am busy editing 40 pages of notes from India. More on that later.
