This exhibition, curated by Weave at Abertay, brings together emerging and established digital artists/activists whose work comments, reflects and challenges ideas relating to socio-political issues and events. It is a survey of media objects of protest against hostile acts and environments over the past 35 years.
How are digital artists using their practice to facilitate conversations around complex socio-political issues? How do we protest differently in a digital age?
It is a turbulent time across the globe – from the challenges of Brexit to the protests in Hong Kong, from the growing Climate Emergency movement to the rise in Nationalism — the international socio-political landscape is increasingly subject to crisis and change.
These events and activities, while tied to specific cultural and socio-political contexts, often transcend borders and speak to collective concerns for alternative forms of democracy and citizen-informed solutions to complex issues.
Digital devices and platforms have encouraged the public to engage more with social and political issues, expanding opportunities for citizens to directly participate in civil society action. Blogs, petition platforms, crowdfunding sites, e-voting and other online forums and tools offer new means for individuals to contribute to shaping political debate and driving ‘real-world’ change.
It is against this diverse backdrop of politics, and the participatory nature of digital technologies, that many artists are producing work today.
The exhibition reflects on gun culture through Joseph Delappe’s Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides and Addie Wagenknecht’s series The Liberator Vases of 3D printed vases made using the first open source downloadable handgun. Irene Tokini Fubara-Manuel’s videogame ‘Dreams of Disguise: Errantry’ we explore issues of agency at border control and in Tina Keane’s video installation we recognise women’s historical struggle against nuclear weapons at Greenham Common . Igor Vamos’ (Yes Men) Barbie Liberation Organization playfully challenges gender-norms and Echo Youth by Matthew Plummer-Fernandez frames physical protest for a digital era.
The title of the exhibition is inspired by Roxy Music’s song, ‘Re-make/Re-model’ and makes reference to musician and theorist Brian Eno’s perspectives on technology, society and the future.

The play examined the real phenomenon of elderspeak – a negative way of communicating with older adults using a form of baby talk or ignoring the elder and speaking to the caregiver, or making assumptions about limitations of the elder.

May 2016 CreativeMornings/Raleigh event (global theme: Reality) with guest speaker Jedidiah Gant.
Jedidiah Gant is a Digital Urbanist living in Downtown Raleigh, NC. He is currently involved in several projects focused on media strategy, creative urbanism and community engagement for New Raleigh and Myriad Media.
Jed comes from a design background, receiving a Bachelor of Architecture from UNC-Charlotte in 2003. Afterwards, he moved to London to work for Dutch firm Erick van Egeraat Architects. After working on design projects in Russia, the Netherlands, Spain and England, he moved to Raleigh to work for Clearscapes, an art and architecture firm based in Downtown. At Clearscapes, Jed helped design residential buildings, art centers and other projects across North Carolina, including being the lead designer of the Shimmer Wall on Raleigh’s Convention Center.
In 2007, he helped start the Raleigh-based news site, New Raleigh. After co-running the site for 5 years, the project began focusing on sharing information on other new media platforms. The brand has continued to grow and move from standard news articles, to opinion, urban strategy and community conversation.
Other urban-based projects started by Jed include the Cooke Street Carnival community street festival and urban-art catalyst Raleigh Murals Project. Serving as a member of the Raleigh Appearance Commission for the past 5 years, Jed has helped give advice for upcoming urban projects in Raleigh. As well, he has been a lead organizer for the yearly Sir Walter Raleigh Awards, which is now part of Hopscotch Design Festival for a second straight year. And, a few more projects are also in the works for the streets of Raleigh.
He is interested in the intersection of technology and communities, developing his Master’s New Media thesis on how Raleigh could use design thinking to create a Hybrid Media Infrastructure to improve and increased urban engagement by citizens.
Including his urban initiatives, Jed currently works with Myriad Media in Downtown Raleigh, doing media strategy for the firm as well as clients including the IBM Corporate Citizenship programs Smarter Cities Challenge and World Community Grid.
Special thanks to our host CAM Raleigh and sponsors CompostNow, Remedy, for video production, Counter Culture Coffee, who generously provided us with complimentary coffee, and Raleigh Raw, who provided the raw, organic, and cold pressed juices.
My son built this today out of just plain wood - proving once again, the old standyby toys are still great gateways to creativity and critical thought.
Creativity and innovation are critical to long-term success in business. YP Day is exploring that creativity through the arts in Nashville.

After the post in the blog about organizing art supplies, I spent Saturday morning (today) organizing my creativity cupboard. I put most of the art supplies in boxes, so that I can remove them and take them to the kitchen table or my bedroom floor when I want to get creative. I thought I would share the photo because I love seeing how others organize all their stuff and find it really inspiring!
Hundreds of artists, activists, designers and friends of the arts came to kick off the wonderful AfterBurn exhibit in Petaluma. This special exhibition celebrates Burning Man and its roots in the North Bay, by featuring artists who create for and document this annual arts festival in Black Rock Desert.
AfterBurn is hosted by the Petaluma Arts Center and was masterfully curated by our art partner in crime, Freddy Hahne, also known as Dr. Really. They collected a wide range of artworks from the Playa, including our colorful Huracan art car, created by our own Mind Shaft Society, the Ovule by Zoe Fry & friends, giant teapots, musical trees, winged fairies and many more inspiring artifacts, all lined up in front of the smart train station and glimmering in the setting sun.
Many creative minds, dignitaries and old friends gathered for the opening reception on Nov. 23. We captured their smiling faces throughout this uplifting reunion -- including members of Pataphysical Studio, our art collective where surrealism meets the maker spirit. Some of the folks appearing in this photo album include: Loren & Rachel Carpenter, Dana Dworin, Vickisa Feinberg, Fabrice & Phyllis Florin, Janey Fritsche, Stephanie Levene, Joni Maxx, Sue Olivier, Tim Pozar, Howard & Judy Rheingold, Marshall Smith and Ed Zingaro, to name but a few.
We all had a wonderful time honoring Burning Man’s creative culture together. Dr. Really was on top of his game, gave a masterful performance and hosted a fabulous party. We’re very grateful to him and his crew for bringing so many of us together for this very special occasion. AfterBurn will remain open to the public though January 18, 2020, and I highly recommend this unique opportunity to experience Burning Man vicariously through this amazing art collection.

Of the few things that really piss me off, one of them is wind... Actually, that is a blatant lie. Many things piss me off! But wind really inhibits several activities that I enjoy. Waterskiing and Photography — These two especially!
There is nothing better than a flat lake in summer, even the slightest breeze or boat chop can ruin the experience... And when seeking inspiring photos, especially HDR, a slight breeze can really 'break' a scene. Specifically in reference to stuff moving in the background. Yes, it can be cleaned up during post, but I'm guilty of being lazy from time to time ;-)
I'm one of those people who enjoys the extremes. I like the weather to be good or really really bad. Mind you that is somewhat of a contradiction, considering I would class 'bad' weather as a slight breeze and a few drops of rain. A crazy storm with thunder, lightning, all hell breaking loose, etc... Now THAT is good weather! As is a calm day with broken cloud cover.
That dovetails perfectly into todays topic... I hate being bored. Being bored leads to thinking too much, thinking too much leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to stress. Stress isn't good! This photo was born out of a day where the wind was a little too intrusive to warrant shooting a landscape. And while walking back to the house I saw a dandelion and remembered a great photo taken by a good friend of mine... The magnifying glass was just something I figured I would try, and I found the result to be quite pleasing & a bit more engaging than the dandelion by itself! I also feel it creates a sense of depth.
So this one goes out to Nikita, a great photographer based in Christchurch. I can't link to the original shot of her's that inspired this one as it's in a private album on Facebook... A photographer before I was, Nikita has actually inspired me to a certain degree. She has a good eye & an awesome creative passion that really shows in her results.
So, Nikita, if you read this... Cheers for the inspiration & I hope all is going well for you :-)
