on. Thus:

OR, HOW BLOGGING CHANGED MY ART LIFE.

Matt Hall and John Watkinson: Cell Phone Drum Machine
A software drum machine is linked to a mobile phone via infrared. The
phone relays SMS messages it receives to the drum machine's software.
Users can send simple commands in SMS messages from their own phones.
The result is a drum machine that is programmed interactively by the
"audience" with their cellphones.

Claire Corey: Digital Paintings
Claire will present her digital paintings including an animation
which shows the progression of one of her works from 2002. This
hybrid medium questions both what is expected from works made with a
computer as well as what constitutes painting.
