Charles Sandison at DAM
The Denver Art museum's Embrace! show is going on until April 4th, and I highly recommend visiting if you are interested in Installation.
Embrace! looks at the unique architecture of the newish Hamilton Building through the lens of 17 Installation artists.
Tobias Rehberger's Bungee cord maze is really spectacular. I love that in the towering wide open space of the Denver Art Museum I can feel cramped and uncomfortable, weaving my way through tight spaces with no real goal other than the experience.
As a digital art enthusiast (and as a human being), I couldn't help but love Charles Sandison's Chamber, an immense video Installation.
A large room in the DAM is turned in to what looks like a milky way of words and patterns sprawled across the walls and ceiling, interrupted from time to time by your towering shadow. The words and colors change, like a living stream.
Just go check it out for your self to get the real experience, but Sandison compared it to getting lost watching fire. The most primitive form of entertainment, created with technology, and modern language.
If you're a Projectorphile like me, you will especially enjoy it.

MCA Chicago - Must Haves! - learn and be inspired folks (by Liberty)
Oh lordy, the MCA Chicago was where it's at! Four floors of mind blowing, inspiring, amazing art! I'm posting links to artists and images from the MCA's Arte Povera and Beyond show on the top floor.
Arte Povera (poor art) is a term coined by art critic Germano Celant. The style is usually highly conceptual work with a minimalist feel. But! the thing that set it apart was use of non precious materials like sticks or string and not the norm for the time oil, canvas, bronze, marble etc.
Explore these beauties for yourself and be inspired!
Carol Rama - Presagi di Birnam, 1970 (Bicycle inner tubes on iron stand
180 x 120 x 60 cm)
Here's a link to the artists website http://www.carolrama.com/eng/hp-eng.htm
Diego Perrone - La fusione della campana, 2008
(Epoxy resin, iron, polystyrene)
Getulio Alviani - Interrelazione cromospeculare, 1969
Environment, various materials
This is absolutely amazing folks... there is a little entry way built into one of the gallery walls where you walk into the piece. Once you enter you are completely immersed in another world, one filled with light, shape and dizzying fields of space.
Gianni Colombo - Spazio elastico, 1967-1968
(Fluorescent elastic, electric motors, wood’s lamp)
UNBELIEVABLE! Loved this! A turn and a twist from the main gallery hall bring you into this tiny dark room filled with elastic string, strung up in cubes, after a moments time you start to wonder... is this moving?? (it is! and it's wonderful)
and for NERDA's video lovers... delicious stuff to track down...
Ugo Nespolo - Un supermaschio
Francesco Vezzoli - An embroidered Trilogy
Bruna Esposito - Senza titolo, DVD per la proiezione di un ombra
Domenico Mangano - La storia di Mimmo
***this one is great****
Monica Bonvicini - Hausfrau Swinging
This little gem was playing in the elevator - on a small screen in the top left corner
Paul Dickinson, sleep talk, 1998

The Bean!: Ryan
Jeromie and I got a chance to be major tourists and take photos with sculptor Anish Kappor's Cloud Gate (nicknamed The Bean) in Millennium Park. It was definitely on my list of must sees while I was here. It was only a couple blocks away from our hotel, luckily.
Chicago's beautiful towering buildings are even more incredible as warped organic curves in Cloud Gate's reflection. We approached the massive piece of art while watching our doubles on the surface, the cityscape wrapped around behind us.
After Gawking at the Bean, we headed over to the Art Institute of
Chicago (our CAA IDs got us in for free), where we saw the artworks we had only seen projected in a dark art history class. The most famous piece was of course (because of art historical and pop culture recognition) A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of la Grande Jatte painted by Georges-Pierre Seurat. Picasso, Van Gogh, Warhol, and all the greats were also present of course, but
what really got my attention more than the Paintings were some of the more recent new media works
Being Not Truthful Always worked Against Me
by Ralph Ammer, 2006
An interactive projection showing an animated spider web that attachs to you as you walk past it. I love this piece because it is an example of how digital art using interactive programming makes people want to move around and be part of art, and make stupid gestures while strangers watch them.

Art in the Age of Dispersion
Michael Mandiberg, a member of the Eyebeam Art Group, spoke at a session I attended today called New Media: The Culture of Dispersion. He considered and shared his experience with The internet and sharing an invented idea or product.
One vocabulary word several of the speakers during the session used was: Snack. Snacks are quick instantly gratifying, interesting finds, like a site, video, picture or idea on the web. People who use services like Delicious or Digg bookmark snacks. It's sort of the like the internet is full of little ceramic figurines and when you find one you like, you take it and put it on your mantel to enjoy later.
Michael Mandiberg went on to explain how he considered success on the internet "being copied". You know your snack has reached its potential when people are imitating it and spreading it elsewhere. Snacks are not about financial gain, but about influence. You birth the snack and then let if go alone into the world in hopes that it will flourish without you.
Michael also spoke about open source software and objects. The term Open Source is usually associated with being "free", but it actually means the creators give out the source code used to build the product so you can alter and build upon the software if you have the knowledge. I never really thought of objects as being Open Source, but Michael shared several open source object projects with which he was involved. These were objects that could be built and altered by anyone who liked the idea.

We are NERDA.
Jeromie Dorrance / Secretary, Connections Guru
I make art.
And I was most voted most likely to be abducted by aliens in high school.
Liberty Shellman / Treasurer, Photography Goddess
Liberty is a fine arts major and a political science major at Metro State in Denver. When she isn't making art, talking about art (and/or politics), traveling the world to further her art and her socio-political ideas, she saves puppies for a living and throws a ball for her dog.
Ryan Jay Pattie / VP, Graphic Design Sorcerer
Salina Gomez / President, Visionary Witch
Art is in my blood.
Some days I'm exalted about where technology is going. Other days I fret about carbon-based existence and question whether my art is part of the problem or part of the solution. The best days occur when I believe every action is pregnant with potential and its rate of realization is positively correlated with passion output.
Art is the dance of creation. 
Rebecca Dolan / Advisor to NERDA
Rebecca Dolan is an artist, educator and curator who lives and works in Denver, CO. She holds an M.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Photography and Digital Imaging and teaches and coordinates the Digital Art program at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. Her work has been screened and exhibited nationally in venues including the National Gallery Film Theater in Washington, D.C. and the Renaissance Society in Chicago.
