Here is Xerox transfer I made out of a photo I took of Ashley Simone in January. The transfer is on a 12 X 12 canvas and it was made for the Square foot show at the Galaxie. The opening on saturday was not as big as last year but it was fun and I got to talk with many interesting people. Besides the art on the walls there where dancers musicians and fire performers. I got the idea to go back play with fire.

yesterday I had some friends over for brunch. For the crafts activity (I always try to have one), we did this short stop motion animation clip.

This is the work of Carole, Leticia, Phil and I. We did the voices too.

I just got the news that the event (Field of Dreams) of which the dome construction is part of, is postponed. :(
There will be another time, I am yet to know when.

On friday I showed “Pyramid” to the public for the second time. There was performance between this one and the first one but it was more like a closed beta so it does not count. The performance was part of the 13th Annual Field trip a performance event, organized by The Field Chicago. I don’t know how it was received I was very busy making sure that everything was working. One person said to me after the show that he liked the tension in the piece. That’s good.
I have been processing the events of the performance for the last two days. Now I know what will change for version 3.0.
As for now no one from the audience sent me any pictures that they took.

I had a great help from Suzanne Nathan and RJ Gozun. Thank you guys, I could have not done it without you.

if you are coming tonight for the Pyramid, bring a camera. it is OK and encouraged that you take photographs.

Last night, as part of the monthly Salon at Rooms Gallery, I collaborated with Stephanie Schnorbus on a piece.
She whistled to a newer version of my whistling in the dark software. I was behind the scenes with the computer.

just got the word. the building of the dome will happen again june 1st.
