documentation of the year 1969: the year of my birth.
got this several years ago on ebay and love it. it's a vera.
Upper Craig Branch
New River Gorge
I'm posting this not-so-good image purely for documentation purposes so that you can catch a glimpse of what could be the tallest waterfall in the state.
A very popular waterfall in WV is said to be the tallest and it has been measured at 60+ feet. This waterfall is easily 75 feet or more, but due to its isolated location and rugged and difficult access, Upper Craig Branch is not well known.
This was my first sight of the Upper Falls, my good friend Fred, who I hiked with on this day, had scouted here a while back under much drier conditions. That day, he hiked to the lower section on an established path and climbed up the steep and boulder strewn mountainside to reach the top. There was only a trickle of water on that day, and he had mentioned to me several times about wanting to shoot here again when there was more water.
On our hike, we decided to try and hug the cliff walls and work our way over to the upper fall. It took over an hour to navigate our way around, over and through large boulders and rhododendron thickets. When we reached the creek, we were just below where the water falls over the ledge.
It was something special to witness, but due to the massive flow of water from recent heavy rains, we were unable to photograph from that vantage point. We worked our way down to this spot where we were able to somewhat escape the incredible amounts of spray.
In the next day or so I'll post an image of one of the lower waterfalls of Craig Branch and rest assured, we'll be back to tackle this one again soon!
(illustration from a structured discussion on reclaiming the commons) Meeting participant Maymay talked about patterns he has found in researching how oppression is carried out. Examining many different revolutionary and cultural struggles has shown a tactical pattern used over and over again by repressive governments and other dominant groups. The dominant group is not a majority but they work to keep the rest of society from uniting against them. The tactics they use, time and again, are :
Divide & Conquer – Infiltrators often provoke infighting, divisiveness, and discord within communities as part of their efforts to derail the momentum of revolutionary movements.
Obscure & Homogenize – The state uses and encourages artificial categorization to obscure the diverse and infinitely subtle possibilities of human existence. The media divides the organic spectrum of the population into segments, and within each segment creates an archetype or sketched-in models of how we are all supposed to be. These manufactured ideal images create hurdles within communities for members who do not fit the idealized definition.
(Further Reading - www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-le...)
Proven resistance strategy starts with identifying the specific tactics an opponent or organization uses, and encourages loose networks of allied groups to unify around countering a specific tactic. The tactics used by the state to repress us are the pillars of support for the system itself. When we are choosing actions, we can use this to help us decide how to focus our energies.
What strategies can we make to counteract these acts of repression against us?
-Four counter strategies are suggested: Transparency, Access, Equality, Diversity
-These boil down to a fundamental strategic and philosophical statement: unity through diversity. This is how we can reclaim the commons.
Unity through Diversity!

For its inaugural exhibition at the new 511 Gallery at the new campus flagship, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, PNCA is pleased to present Gathering Autonomy: Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, the first retrospective exhibition of this print cooperative that produces graphics for activist organizations around events or actions.
Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative is a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social, environmental, and political stance. With members working from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Justseeds operates both as a unified collaboration of similarly minded printmakers and as a loose collection of creative individuals with unique viewpoints and working methods. The Cooperative produces collective portfolios, contributes graphics to grassroots struggles for justice, builds large sculptural installations in galleries, and wheatpastes on the streets.
The exhibition will feature work by all 30 members from all over North America as well as a series of topical print portfolios issued by the group. The first of these will be Resourced, which focuses on resource extraction and climate issues, and includes 26 artist prints.
The exhibition will also incorporate PNCA’s alumni-run Creative Activism Lab which will be putting Justseeds methods into practice locally with groups like the immigration rights group, VOZ. The Creative Activism Lab, led by Carmen Denison, Lauren Heagerty, and Danny Mackin, will set up a small print studio in the 511 Gallery and run workshops with students throughout the course of the exhibition.
This exhibition has spawned several programs that are being coordinated by the Creative Activism Lab (CAL), founded in 2014 by PNCA alumni, CAL is a pseudo-institutionalized organization dedicated to exploring and advancing the intersection of art, activism, and social justice.
These programs include:

[documentation more than art]
pierced my nose and bleached & toned the SHIT out of my hair :D
[note on nose ring:
this is a ring for piercing ears.
it's just in there while it heals for a few weeks.

While going through some of my dad's old computer stuff, I found some documentation on Emacs dated October 1982.

Commissioned to work with SALT Research collections, artist Refik Anadol employed machine learning algorithms to search and sort relations among 1,700,000 documents. Interactions of the multidimensional data found in the archives are, in turn, translated into an immersive media installation. Archive Dreaming, which is presented as part of The Uses of Art: Final Exhibition with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union, is user-driven; however, when idle, the installation "dreams" of unexpected correlations among documents. The resulting high-dimensional data and interactions are translated into an architectural immersive space.
Shortly after receiving the commission, Anadol was a resident artist for Google's Artists and Machine Intelligence Program where he closely collaborated with Mike Tyka and explored cutting-edge developments in the field of machine intelligence in an environment that brings together artists and engineers. Developed during this residency, his intervention Archive Dreaming transforms the gallery space on floor -1 at SALT Galata into an all-encompassing environment that intertwines history with the contemporary, and challenges immutable concepts of the archive, while destabilizing archive-related questions with machine learning algorithms.
In this project, a temporary immersive architectural space is created as a canvas with light and data applied as materials. This radical effort to deconstruct the framework of an illusory space will transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience of a library and the conventional flat cinema projection screen, into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of an archive visualized with machine learning algorithms. By training a neural network with images of 1,700,000 documents at SALT Research the main idea is to create an immersive installation with architectural intelligence to reframe memory, history and culture in museum perception for 21st century through the lens of machine intelligence.
SALT is grateful to Google's Artists and Machine Intelligence program, and Doğuş Technology, ŠKODA, Volkswagen Doğuş Finansman for supporting Archive Dreaming.

Crap quality but it's my first, so it "counts" anyway (for documentation and personal archive) ;-)
WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO? Glad you asked...

First office hours we hosted in the new Viewer 2 era! =)
Situated amidst the calming greenery, a village steeped in ancient animism and rituals, is the home of about 250 artisans carrying forward the tradition of ecstatic wooden mask making for generations. The craft of Gomira dance masks is practiced in a specific area in North Dinajpur district of West Bengal state, India, in and around the village of Mahisbathan (Khunia Danga, Kushmandi Block) located approximately 50km south-east of Raiganj, the district headquarter.
The mask dance (or Mukha Khel) is usually organized in between mid-April to mid-July though there are no fixed dates, but each village in the area organizes at least one Gomira dance during this period according to their convenience, at a central location.
The Gomira dances have distinct forms. The Gomira format is the predominant one, which has characters with strong links to the animist tradition. It is performed to propitiate Gram-Chandi, the female deity, usher in the 'good forces' and drive out the 'evil forces'. Traditionally, the Gomira dance starts with the entry of two characters, Buro-Buri, (old couple). After the initial round of dancing, characters are called on to the arena or stage. They dance to the accompaniment of Dhak (percussion drum ethnic to rural Bengal) and Kansar (bell-metal disk used as cymbal). There are no songs or chants. The dancers choose their own movements, which include rotations and hops.
The craft of Gomira mask-making, in its pristine form, catered to the needs of the dancers (and any villager wishing to give a mask as an offering to the village deity). The masks make part of the costume of the traditional Gomira dance. Themes of the masks are usually spiritual, historic and religious.
Originally, the Gomira masks are crafted from neem wood, as per Hindu mythology. Later locally available cheaper wood such as gamhar, pakur, kadam, mango, and teak came to be used. The village craftsmen are very conscious of the environment and always plant one tree for trees cut down, usually of the same species.
The mask making begins with cutting the log and then immersed in water for seasoning. Once the basic shape has emerged, they use the broad chisel and heaviest hammer to bring out the final shape. The reverse side of the mask is scooped out very carefully. For finer finishing, narrower chisels, sand papers of various grades are being used and a coat or two of varnish, which provides smoothness to the mask and ensures durability. Formerly, the masks were hand-painted with natural dyes. Slowly the use of chemical dyes and even enamel paints have gained acceptance mainly because of ready availability and permanence.
The Gomira craftsmen are from Rajbongshi community and do not belong to any particular caste. The women folk have never been a part of mask-making. For most of the artisans, mask making is a supplementary source of income.
In association with UNESCO, Government of West Bengal's Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises & Textiles has developed a Rural Craft Hub at Mahisbathan to resurrect this art form, by giving the craftsmen a place to work. The Mahisbathan Gramin Hasta Shilpa Samabay Samiti Limited (a cooperative of craftsmen and artisans who live in the nearby villages) runs the centre; ensures payments for work done and promotes the sale of masks and other wooden artefacts. The Samiti delivers more than 100 masks per month, where the selling price varies from Rs. 700 (USD $10) to Rs. 3500 (USD $50), depending on the complexity.
The Samity also runs a Folk Art Centre which is also equipped with accommodation facility for guests. One can participate in workshops, learn about the history of the community and craft, nuances of the mask making and the fascinating associated stories.
