As a sort of “end of the year closet cleaning”, I’ve decided to give away mp3s of all the music I’ve released since 2004. Click on “Continue reading” to start downloading.

This is a paper I wrote for my theory class which explores the possibility for digital artists to work for social change through art that uses new communicative possibilities afforded by new technologies.
Networking Aesthetics
As a result of the computer revolution, the world is witnessing an unprecedented shift in modes of social, economic and cultural production. The rise of informational networks as social and economic forms simultaneously contain new possibilities for a democratic society and new threats to individual liberty. Within these networks lie new possibilities for resistance against power, the creation of new forms of subjectivity, collaborations and democracy. But they also contain new forms of disciplinary power, subjugation, exploitation and oppression. Art practitioners working within the realm of digital media must develop a new critical framework for understanding how their work can either work for a liberatory future or merely reinscribe forms of oppression that permeates these networks.

Hello friends!
This January, The Artclash Collective will be organizing the fifth anniversary Fun-A-Day Project!
What is Fun-A-Day you ask? It’s simple! Pick something you’d like to do every day (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake) and do it every day for the entire month of January. Submit your 31 pieces in early February to be included in the show. (If you do something like make-the-bed-a-day or talk-to-a-stranger-a-day, just figure out a way to document it–with photographs, in a zine, whatever.)
Fun-A-Day has been happening in Philly for the past five years–this marks the first year of Fun-A-Day in the Bay. The project is being organized by a group of Philly expats and at least one of the Artclash Collective’s founding members. Any and all folks living on the west coast, particularly in the Bay Area, are encouraged to submit!!
Check out the website: www.artclash.com for more details, photos from past shows, info about the show and submission details (TBA).
It will be a great start to your year.
love,
Artclash Collective WEST
