I'm very excited to announce the first ever Creative Commons Salon in New
York City. I've been working for the last couple of months to get this
organized, and happy to invite you to it. A CC Salon is a free, casual
monthly get-together focused on conversation, presentations, and
performances from people or groups who are developing projects that relate
to open content and/or software. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and
anyone you know who might be interested in drinks and discussion. There are
now CC Salons happening in San Francisco, Toronto, Berlin, Beijing, Warsaw,
Seoul, Johannesburg, and now New York.
This month we are fortunate to have some really cool new-media artists
giving presentations. Their work is really fun and I think you'll like it a
lot. Here are their bios:
* Marisa Olson
Marisa Olson's performance-based work revolves around the shared histories
of popular music, cinema, and sound recording technologies. Her
interdisciplinary practice incorporates internet art, videos, audio
recordings, drawings, and installations in tandem with live performance, to
make statements about life, communication, and the voice in contemporary
digital culture. these works are often infused with mixed metaphors about
the relations between talent, fame, and failure. Marisa studied art at
Goldsmiths College, History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz, and Rhetoric
and Film Studies at UC Berkeley. Her work has most recently been presented
by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art,
the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, New Langton Arts, the Art
Gallery of Knoxville, Side Cinema-UK, and the New York and Chicago
Underground Film Festivals. She's also Editor & Curator at Rhizome.org, an
organization celebrating its 10th anniversary of supporting the new media
community. While Wired has called her both funny and humorous, the New York
Times has called her "anything but stupid."
* Paul Slocum of Tree Wave
Paul Slocum is a musician and new media artist living in Dallas. Computers
and computer culture are often the medium and subject of his work. Some of
his projects are The Dot Matrix Synth, an 80's dot matrix printer with
re-programmed firmware to transform it into a sort of musical instrument,
The Century Callback Project, a phone number that calls you back 8 times in
a century, and The Time-Lapse Homepage, a video made with HTML. He is also
half of the band Tree Wave that makes music and video with obsolete
assembly-language-programmed computer and video game gear. Some of Paul's
performances and exhibitions include Transitio MX (Mexico City), The New
Museum of Contemporary Art (NY), Deitch Projects (NY), Le Confort Moderne
(France), README 2005 (Denmark), The Liverpool Biennial, Eyebeam (NY), and
Fluxfactory (NY).
And more to be announced!
We're having it at on Friday, October 13th, from 8-10pm at Nublu, 62 Ave. C
(between 4th Street and 5th Street).
Please forward this e-mail to whomever you think might be interested. CC
Salons are free and open to the public.
Thanks,
Fred Benenson
