[-empyre-] closing down Queer Media Art & Theory

[Michael O'Rourke]

Thank you to Zach and Micha for putting together this month of discussions. It has been rich and interesting and I have learned a lot. I am looking forward to further conversations especially about bio-nano-materialisms. The latter was certainly, for me, the most inspiring set of posts (so especial thanks to Pinar Yoldas, Heather Davis and Ricardo Dominguez). I'm writing now from a Speculative Theology conference in Liverpool and there was much talk here about the queer media art month. Robert Jackson who works on Turing and contributed to the discussions was especially pleased to have found the work of Homay King and Jacob Gaboury and I would also like to thank them for their contributions in weeks one and two. 
Cheers,Michael.

hi all--

i’d like to thank heather, pinar, ricardo, and elle for being our
guests this week. there’s a lot left to explore here regarding the
nano scales of queerness and relations to the
imperceptible/visible/invisible.

for those of you interested in the queer components of this month’s
discussion, please consider joining Q
http://lists.transreal.org/listinfo.cgi/q-transreal.org, a list micha
and i started earlier this year. we hope it will be a place to have
sustained discussions on queerness and media praxis.

we’re at the end of our month, so micha and i would like to thank all
of our invited guests, Amanda Philips, Margaret Rhee, Jacob Gaboury,
Jack Halberstam, Homay King, Michael O’Rourke, Jordan Crandall,
Patricia Clough, Lauren Berlant, Heather Davis, Ricardo Dominguez,
Elle Mehrmand, and Pinar Yoldas. we look forward to continued
conversations with you all! thanks so much for your contributions and
provocations.

micha is at the allied media conference in detroit this weekend, so
she might jump in tomorrow. for now, thanks to those of you who
engaged queerness and queerly with us during this month of queer media
art & theory.

zach
