Hypermedia.

Hi all,
I've been fielding questions about hypermedia since i've returned to DC and been somewhat unable to express concisely what i've been laboring over all year at school. However, it's extremly important to me to be clear about what this project is and how i think it can help, so i'm going to be blogging a mini-lesson on hypermedia on my other blog, the Urgent Artist.

Check it out if you're interested - it will be full of sneak preview vids, shorts, and interviews by the end, as well as some good old fashioned theory. And as always, i'd love some feedback!

On the subject of funding...

As always, i'm interested in the issue of the business of dance - how dance companies support and propagate the art that they make. An interesting conversation about hesitancy to market versus the benefits of being actively involved in it has been developing on the DTW blog.

Semaphore your enjoyment!

It's technically "dance" although some of you who haven't broken into the dance-tech scene yet might just find it droll. Me and my friend Meghan made it for Tony Schultz's dance-tech class.

Semaphore is the flag-alphabet where each position equals a letter.
We used the traditional postures and made our own punctuation.
the possibilities are endless......
