  Hi everyone,

  Finally finished working on an installation and tonight
  is the opening for the State of the Art exhibit, curated
  by Steve Dietz, of which the installation is a part. The
  electricity-list and then the electronetwork-list have been
  going on for several years, so I would like to share the
  experience with those here, so I placed images online
  with some minor descriptions though hopefully enough
  to give the effect (or maybe not). Feedback is welcome.
  The curator's statement at the bottom achieves all I have
  hoped to communicate over years of working on these
  ideas, which makes this pivotal in many ways for ways
  of approaching ideas. This is an installation of artifacts,
  and could be held in any country with any variety of
  objects and ideas. Though it is through this 'crazy quilt'
  like approach of many displays, from stamps to films
  to electronics to unplugged artifacts, that could be a
  way to integrate today's works in larger collections,
  and to tap new contexts for exhibiting ideas together
  (with regard but not limited to electromagnetism, works).

  here's the main URL:

** also, came up with a low-tech approach to visualizing
EMFs at the last minute, and below is an image of this.
The holographic sticker paper was found at a craft store
and overlapped as perpendicular waves (electric/magnetic)
and attempts to gesture/sketch at the idea of EMFs in various
places, by the TV, outlets, radio scanner, light, etc.

generating devices. Located near clear acrylic wallplate for power

In any case, hope you can visit the exhibit. Feedback on-list
or off-list is appreciated. This is a collection of artifacts so it is
the general approach is communicated through the display
systems of shelves, bulletin board, whiteboard, and various
other systems for ways to bring different things into relation
with one another, such as a transistor and a vacuum tube.

Off to the opening now... Brian (linked on main page below, also)
