Aug. 13th, 2007 06:01 pmComputer is back and functional. Celina is awesome!
I spent most of my weekend in burning prep, and blowing off fringe shows, a wedding, and roller derby events.
( babbling about burn prep )
I'm looking forward to the art. I'm looking forward to a creative kick in the pants. I'm looking forward to camping a little differently this year. I'm looking forward to the drive out.
I've decided I want to learn more about incorporating interactivity into electronic music and art. This would probably mean learning to use the software from Cycling 74. So I emailed the head of the electronic music studio at the U to see what options are (if any) to register for or audit some higher level electronic music classes. I think this would be a Good Thing. I'm not ready for the emotional, financial, or time commitment to graduate school for real, but I'd really like to take a class or two both to keep my brain busy and thinking about new stuff (when I was a student, the most cutting edge synth in the lab was a Yamaha DX7) and also to connect some with the community of folks from the Spark festival during the rest of the year. We'll see if this goes anywhere. Since I did not make the IL team, I've felt fine ignoring skating for the sake of art projects lately, but I might have to reexamine things once I'm back from the desert. I can have trouble finding the balance between derby and job and social life and artwork.
Can't someone just make 12 more hours in a day?
