Featuring the fragrant and marvellous:
Sam Freeman: 1000 Ways It Doesn't Work
1000 Ways It Doesn't Work is a multimedia art project which attempts
to come to terms with the General Electric Corporation. Through
installations, performances, videos, programs, correspondence, and
web pages the project seeks the human dimensions and implications of
the multi-national behemoth that is GE. The presentation will include
an overview of all the pieces involved, and a discussion of where the project can go from here.

Marisa Olson: Oh.Yeah.I.Love.You.Baby
Marisa's work deals with popular music and the cultural history of
technology. She's just started production on her first sound art
album, "Oh.Yeah.I.Love.You.Baby," in which each word in the album
title is also the title of a respective track whose lyrics consist
solely of that word. To her, these words are the "greatest hits" of
pop lyrics, and each utterance of them is culled from hours and days
of pop music samples. Of course, Marisa's work is also often about
failure, humiliation, and a lack of talent. Accordingly, she's not
sure whether her project sucks or not. She could use a little
feedback on this work in progress.
