Flint and steel
I'm at the Spark Festival. Hoo-ray. Gave my paper this morning on Negativland which, I think, went well. Nobody laid any smack upon me, which is a sure sign of acceptance.
All in all, it is what you would expect. Lots of Max/MSP being thrown around. There is even some music happening. I'll report more when I have more to report.
And I'm thinking about podcasting. Should I or shouldn't I? My idea to is create a short electronic work every week and put it up on a podcast. It would be a vehicle for exploration and experimentation with a constant deadline which would force creativity. Am I too busy for such a thing? That just makes it more appealing. Is there an audience for such a thing? That is the great thing about podcasting: It Doesn't Matter! I can pretend that people will be listening.
Heck, I could just pretend to make a podcast. Maybe I'll do that instead.
