My old room

My old bedroom at my parent's house has become my mother's hobby and sewing room. It is so weird to see it so different. I makes me realise that I am really grown up. My mother's room at my nonna's still looks like when she lived there but nonna has an extra studio for sewing. Someday I'll post some pics of it from when I lived there. I was really quite an installation artwork space.

Sitting by Cottage Street Park

I am visiting katie with emily and even over on cottage street. Cottage street is in that area of the west side behind the pink. Near the parking lot by Allen St. Hardware.

At the very end of the park is this crazy looking mod house. This part of town has much diverse architechture than e-town. I really like the way it looks. I was thinking that maybe each section of buffalo needs a thereneighborhood.com. Where should we make the next sight? What about a spanish speaking site centered around grant/ west side. Do you think enough people here have computers and an internet connection? I wonder if there are any statistics about this that I can find? If not it might be interestting to conduct a survey.

I will be sitting outside taking pictures and clearing out my phones picture memeory as Katie has 4 dogs and a cat, so I can't go inside because of allergies, so expect a couple more posts.

UB Artist Back at Work with Bio-Materials

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- A University at Buffalo artist is resuming his work following a criminal indictment over biological materials he uses.

Steven Kurtz is scheduled to participate in the Cinema-texas festival in Austin this weekend and plans presentations in Montreal and New York City over the next few months. The art professor pleaded innocent to mail and wire fraud charges in a June indictment accusing him of improperly obtaining bacterial agents.

Fellow artists have rallied in support of Kurtz while raising concerns over the rights of privacy and artistic and academic freedom.

In Texas, he will discuss projects of the Critical Art Ensemble he founded. A paper being presented in Montreal will address germ warfare and the negative effect on public health policy.

Critical Art Ensemble has used human D-N-A and other bio-materials in works meant to draw attention to political and social issues.

The Cat Stevens Drama

Cat Stevens, whose name is now Yusuf Islam showed up on some US terror list which resulted in the forced landing of a plane he was on and his denial of entry into the US. I totally understand why people are outraged that some innocent person could show up on a list and cause such drama in our present terror state of alert. And I realize this is just another part of Big Brother getting bigger but I have to question what makes us assume that because someone wrote music in the 70s that they couldn't be a terrorist now.

I am not suggesting that Cat Stevens is a terrorist, I am just saying that because someone was famous at one point in American pop culture doesn't make them innocent.

Cat Stevens himself is a little too weird for me. I guess I really don't understand people that are so commited to any religion that they feel it appropriate to change their name. Esther(madonna) is at the top of that list. He started out as Stephen Georgiou, then changed his name to Cat Stevens, and is now Yusuf Islam. People that do that weird me out. What are they so unconfortable with that they radically change their name. Its not like changing from Bryan to Brian. It's like name plastic surgery.

Quote from -
He abandoned his music career in the late 1970s and changed his name after being persuaded by orthodox Muslim teachers that his lifestyle was forbidden by Islamic law. He later became a teacher and an advocate for his religion, founding a Muslim school in London in 1983.

So my question is really why can't Yosuf Islam be a terrorist?

Spectropolis - I am so isolated

I want to go to the spectropolis 2004 in NYC on Oct 2. Spectropolis workshops offer an up-close look at wireless communication technologies and opportunity for hands-on play and participation. Anyone want to travel to NY with me for this one?

Wait, I changed my mind. I don't want to particpate, I want to host my own event here. Who is in for this, ajay? Why don't we push wireless art/communication events in Buffalo. i mean after all it's a much smaller city that would be way easier to unwire than NYC, right?

(e:rachel) , you would really like the GPS drawings . They are the most fantasic idea.
