[-empyre-] empyre subscribers...this is the last day to post your projects, bios, interests!!

[Nell Tenhaaf]

Wonderful forum, I'm a total lurker but a huge appreciator. I'm a media artist in Toronto, also graduate program director of a practice-based visual arts PhD at York University. I especially appreciate the discussion that sheds light on those initiatives, well-established in Australia and the UK but relatively new in North America. Sean, thanks so much for the pointer to your article - developing "methods" for the way we work is crucial.

I'm a teacher and writer, mostly on media history, technology and ecocriticism, and on media arts, with a little curating: most recently Arte y Optica in Lima (http://espacio.fundaciontelefonica.com.pe/)
