Archives for July 2000

I recently came across

July 6, 2000 by Michael Boyle

an interesting site called artengine, which is an online gallery based in Ottawa. My friend Julien’s sister is showing her work, the reliquarium. She does text/object associations, one a day all year. The primary medium is email, but the pair is placed on the website as well on the day it is sent. In a way, it reminds me of Placing, but it’s less linear and less overtly making a particular statement.

Beyond the work itself, I was really happy to see a project (and a gallery) like that originating in Ottawa. The city isn’t known as a hub of the arts, but it has a long tradition of very grassroots, almost activist, arts work centered around facilities like the SAW Gallery and others. The web and the internet more broadly seems like a perfect extension of that.

thisboyistoast.nu. Congratulations to a random passerby on the new digs! I like the concept, I like the actual slice of toast, I like the popups, I like the colours, and much more.

The corruption of Col. James Hiett

July 5, 2000 by Michael Boyle

The corruption of Col. James Hiett in Salon is an excellent story about the nonsense the US is engaging in in Colombia. Excellent in that it provokes a lot of important questions – questions that I don’t think the US political system is currently strong enough to deal with effectively. Nor would the Canadian system, mind you – I’m not taking a swipe at our neighbours to the South here.

I think a lot

of people will dismiss Steven Brill’s latest venture, Contentville. That’s a mistake though. I can’t exactly get traction on why this might work well – but there’s something in here worthy of some note. Maybe it’s just that Brill wants to grow the business carefully.
