[-empyre-] fluid + responsive

[jonCates <joncates@criticalartware.net>]

Recently I have been enmeshed in the energy of "unstable grounds" 
while preparing an update of criticalartware to version.1.2.4 which 
is interlinked w/the Version>03 digital_arts_festival occurring at 
the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The events and exhibitions 
that constitute Version>03 and many concurrent activities take place 
in various locations (servers, networks, streets, lofts, galleries, 
museums, academic institutions, etc). Version>03 and the many 
concurrent activities begin today and I think present an excitingly 
politicized and engaged approach to curating new media arts which 
will be of interest to those of you on empyre. The curator, EdMar and 
the organizers have worked together in a collaborative manner which 
spans many spaces, organizations and intents. The online aspect of 
the festival presents a more open system than most similar event 
websites. The site, http://www.versionfest.org is built to allow 
comments to be posted directly to each entry in the schedule to 
facilitate dialog and the development of active discourses. I think 
this effort tends toward that instability and hybridity which has 
been discussed this month and contributes to strategies for staying 
fluid and responsive amidst and among various institutions and 
moments.
