I saw this video yesterday and was amazed by his perspective. I admire people who are so inquisitive about the world and have what seems like an bottomless well of creativity they reach into to produce artwork.

A Color Box by Len Lye
We watched this in my Time, Motion, and Communication class and the quality and energy of it really delighted me. Lye painted directly on the film strips and then ran it. It made me wonder: was he really able to coordinate the visuals to the music as well as he did? He must have, right?…
Charles LeDray: MENS SUITS
Previous exhibition at the Whitney. This is what I call “attention to detail.” At first I was like “what’s the big deal?” and then I realized what scale it was.

WID: Omaha Poetry Slam
What I’m doing: Today/yesterday I went the Omaha Health Arts Poetry slam to see my friend Ben Wenzl read his poetry. I am a HUGE Ben Wenzl fan. The show tonight was amazing! Also, the 2008 Poetry Slam Champion, Joaquín Zihuatanejo was there! He was in Omaha as a speaker for children and found out…
