    Ok, I have now mastered just enough knowledge of the WP templates to be disatisfied with how this blog is working.  Sometime very soon I’ll be doing a major redesign, as well as expanding the content, though the latter will probably wait until summer. My other projects have slowed down because funding at my school…

    Florian at Ars Electronica 2007. Note, visit Ars Electronica 2007 for more info. about Florian winning the Prix Ars prize for theory. I was still a student in 1995, in Comparative Literature, and there was a conference in Berlin. It wasn’t really a conference so much as a public culture event, and it was called…

    Florian at Worm in Rotterdam, Summer 2007Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver We moved on to discuss “new media” as a discipline and I mentioned how both Sher Doruff and Renee Turner had said one thing that attracted them (among other characteristics) was the lack of constraints on the field, because no body knew what was possible…

    Florian during his interviewOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver Ok, there aren’t really any secrets but I haven’t seen any really biographical interviews with Florian anywhere else, so maybe it will be some kind of revelation. 🙂 I’ve known Florian for a long time now, about 15 years, but when working on my projects in the Netherlands,…

    B. de WinterOriginally uploaded by cuuixsilver I should also note that Brenno is starting to establish quite a journalistic reputation when it comes to reporting on IT and issues of privacy, freedom on information, and related matters. For example, he has relentlessly pursued the privacy problems with the OV Chipkaart. You can see the most…

    Having got through everything I want to say for now about IR9, I hope to finish with my summer interviews–it’s not too long now until I go back to NL for more interviews, so I have to get these done! So actually one of the earliest interviews I did in the summer was with Brenno…

    Audrey Samson Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver OK, finally I’m on the last women I spoke with on this last trip, Audrey Samson and Nancy Mauro-Flude. This joint interview was less formal and in depth because we had trouble finding times when they could meet and eventually met altogether for just about and hour. They’ll be…

    Or discontinuities, or whatever term captures the idea that a field that previously seemed really fluid and border-less no longer is so. Coalescence? Coagulation? Choosing the right metaphor seems much more important these days. I spoke to Sher Doruff a few days ago and really wish I’d by then acquired a recorder–still working on that…

    Even though I’m not teaching as much this term, I am just buried in work. I’m co-chair a conference that takes place in two weeks and will so glad when it’s over. What a headache. Plus I am trying to work on some grant proposals, sent in the two IR 9.0 proposals, and just sent…

    Earlier this month I posted a proposal which did not get accepted for further submission and evaluation. I have to really thank Florian for being quite forthright about completely incoherent the first version was, and asking pointed questions that allowed me to see what needed to be straightened out. So I revised and revised and…
