[-empyre-] Wired sustainability. Welcome Tom Shevory, Patty Zimmerman and Stephanie Rothenberg

[Renate Ferro]

"The artists we at FLEFF have been interested in curating,
whether in analog or digital, reject these conservative visions of
SUSTAINABILITY, ENVIRONMENTAL and WIRED by conjuring connections,
networks, dialogues and interfaces open up new ways of thinking and doing,
collapsing distinctions between the three terms and collapsing differences
between production, distribution, audience, politics, collaboration.
Stephanie Rothenberg's projects exemplify this."

Thanks so much, Patty.  We appreciate your picking up on the 
interfaced intensity with which we decided to pair Wired with 
Sustainability as the framework for this month's discussion.  This is 
the broad nexus of artistic production, scientific reflection, and 
curatorial intervention through which we also understand the 
environmental.  In fact, this very much addresses what we emphasized 
last week as the "metaphorical" power of Britta and Rebecca's work. 
We are very interested in hearing from other empyreans about their 
sense of the international breadth of art projects invested in wired 
sustainability.

Renate and Tim
