July's salon at the CAM Project Room

Last night’s salon at the Project Room for New Media at the Chelsea Art Museum featured four presenters: Mark Napier, Paul Amitai, Marty St James and John F. Simon. Mark Napier showed various projects, including Internet Shredder 1.0, which deconstructs websites, and net.flag, one of the first pieces of net art to be […]

Featured Presenter: Luke Dubois

Luke Dubois presented at the LISA salon on Monday, January 11th.  Luke is an unassuming guy who comes across as incredibly humble.  When you finally get him to spill the beans it turns out he’s an unbelievably talented and prolific artist who has shown his work in some incredible venues […]

Featured Presenter: Asya Reznikov

On January 11th, Asya Reznikov presented at LISA at the Soho Gallery for Digital Art.  The first thing I have to say about Asya’s work is that still images simply do not do it justice.  So you may want to start by checking out the video clips on Asya’s website. […]

Featured Presenter: Scott Kildall

Kildall showed us his latest project “afterthought”, which I believe he is working on as one of Eyebeam’s resident artists. He shows a series of images to a willing subject, who is wearing a device to measure brain activity.

Featured presenter: Nina Paley

Nina spoke to us in December on her views on copyright and distribution.  I think she wrote this post after our event, spurred on by a question someone asked at the salon, which she undoubtedly gets all the time: What’s Stopping You? Nina’s perspective on freeing up her copyright by […]

First Salon 12/8 a success!

Our first LISA salon was a tremendous success, with way more people than expected (around 25).  We are changing the location to a Soho gallery for next month (1/11).

Tim Burton at the MoMA

Last week I went to the Tim Burton exhibition at the MoMA. Held in a surprisingly small space, the exhibition displays 800+ images…
