Just Launched!: Please consider supporting the Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of The People’s E-Book, a free, web-based e-book publishing tool currently under development as a conceptual and technical collaboration between Greg Albers of Hol Art Books (Tuscon, AZ) and Oliver Wise and Eleanor Hanson of The Present Group (Oakland, CA).
Eleanor and Oliver are old friends from San Francisco whose longtime work as The Present Group I consider to be some of the most promising (not to mention, under-recognized) digital investigations into the confluence of art, commerce, and the social web going. Period. (I even host my own website with The Present Group!) I know Greg through his work as the publisher of Hol Art Books, an ambitious little e-book publishing company based in Tuscon, AZ. Back in September, the four of us converged in Seattle for a panel on creative thinking in museum digital strategy at the Museum Computer Network conference. Just months later, I was thrilled to hear that the three had forged a collaboration to build a free, web-based publishing tool—one that I’m all but certain will help demystify the e-book publishing process for artists, small presses, and others interested in trying their hand at e-bookmaking. I’m truly looking forward to test driving The People’s E-Book tool as a means of realizing the next phase in my own personal publishing history.
Introducing: The People’s E-Book
Back in the fall, Eleanor Hanson and Oliver Wise of The Present Group and Greg Albers of Hol Art Books joined me in Seattle at the Museum Computer Network conference for a panel on creative thinking in museum digital strategy. A scant handful of months later, they’ve joined forces to develop The People’s E-Book, a “super simple online tool for artists and alternative publishers.” May I kindly suggest that art publishing enthusiasts sign up to receive updates on this project?

Whenever you say, “I just want to quit my stressful city life and go start a farm…” listen to this kid:
From a Denver Post article in November, 13-year-old chicken farmer Shelby Grebenc (who was the youngest farmer ever awarded the Animal Welfare Approved designation) tells…
Art is a form of nourishment (of consciousness, the spirit)

Google Maps appears to have current NYC subway information… Eery to see the city I live in this way… http://goo.gl/maps/FmDBV
Update: Or is that eerie?
Creative Time staff, interns, and fellows share the upcoming events and exhibitions we’re most excited about seeing. This first installment of Creative Time Picks comes to you from Production and Programming Fellow Jessica N. Bell.
Opening Tomorrow: Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller’s The Murder of Crows, a ”sound play” originally shown at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in Austria, is a sonic interpretation and metaphor for the cacophony created by crows when one of their murder dies. This marks the U.S. premiere for this ninety-eight-speaker installation.
